X. Benedict Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 This is a major announcement? More like a captain announcement. Quote

OH AQUALUNG! Quote

To include it? or that is it? If that is what they are leaking because that is the minor news that is great. If the whole announcement is the Womens under 18 World championships...well....I don't know just how major that is (maybe it IS a big deal, just I don't know much about it.) Quote
Eleven Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 I have no idea. I just posted a twit. I mean, a tweet. Quote
LastPommerFan Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 No clue, but buffalo makes more sense for the World junior evaluations than Lake Placid. And Chicago would make a more convenient location for the Birth of Christ. There is some holy ground you just don't mess with. Quote

LastPommerFan Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Huh? Sometimes my brain says things, and then they get translated into written words, and then they don't make any sense. Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Sometimes my brain says things, and then they get translated into written words, and then they don't make any sense. It made sense to me....and I agree.

Nope....I'll be on the staff. Ted owes me one....... Quote

Honestly, the facilities in Lake Placid are just not that great. Imagine Bennet High School with two hockey rinks inside it during summer. Stripped of the emotion, that's Lake Placid. Quote

Stripped of the emotion, that's Lake Placid. I know. And I don't care. That ice was the peak of American amateur hockey. That is where the junior evals should be, because that is the measuring stick.

That is where the junior evals should be, because that is the measuring stick. Not only that...the town has the infrastructure and is built for training. What would you rather do as a 17 year old....jog down Perry St, or wake up in a picturesque mountain with the red sun and dew glistening to take a 10 mile bike ride through the hills? Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Anyhow.....Blue Horseshoe likes Bethlehem Steel. They make the runners for those sledge thingies, right? (sees on Twitter and pulls a Chz) Quote
inkman Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 This is a major announcement? Whoever does the PR releases for the Harbour Center needs to lay off the caffeine and hyperbole. Short of Kate Upton skating naked on their ice, nothing they announce will be major. Quote

Short of Kate Upton skating naked on their ice, nothing they announce will be major. That would subject Drane to the same 300 ft. restriction, albeit for other reasons. Quote

That is where the junior evals should be, because that is the measuring stick. I love Lake Placid. My family lived there. But keeping the Lake Placid the center of Amateur hockey pretty much keeps it in obscurity in the US. Time to move it to Buffalo. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Posted May 28, 2014 USA Hockey Press Conference (5/28/14) USA Hockey, HARBORCENTER & the Buffalo Sabres will participate in a major announcement at First Niagara Center. Quote

Eleven Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Yes, BUFFALO will drag something out of obscurity. :) This isn't the same city it was ten years ago. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 ...maybe the local shopping malls consider this to be a major announcement? Quote
MattPie Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 This isn't the same city it was ten years ago. I know, I know. It's just that to most people in the US, Buffalo and Lake Placid might as well be neighboring towns (an hour or so from NYC). Quote
X. Benedict Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Yes, BUFFALO will drag something out of obscurity. :) The D tournament for Juniors would draw folks from Ontario and WNY, and be a much more logical place to fly into than lake placid with its crappy summer ice. I know, I know. It's just that to most people in the US, Buffalo and Lake Placid might as well be neighboring towns (an hour or so from NYC). Buffalo is a good host. Quote
darksabre Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 The D tournament for Juniors would draw folks from Ontario and WNY, and be a much more logical place to fly into than lake placid with its crappy summer ice. Buffalo is a good host. And it will become a better host. That said, if I were a kid, I'd want to go to Placid. It smells better there. Quote
sabills Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) I know, I know.

The D tournament for Juniors would draw folks from Ontario and WNY, and be a much more logical place to fly into than lake placid with its crappy summer ice. Buffalo is a good host. Plus, like, you CAN fly into Buffalo. Closest airport to Lake placid is probably Albany or Montreal, which are both a 2-3 hour drive. 5 hours from NYC or Buffalo And it will become a better host. That said, if I were a kid, I'd want to go to Placid. It smells better there. Nothing smells better than the Adirondacks to me.
