When I’m on the road, and I am seeing two teams where I don’t care who wins, I try to pull for the home team. It’s fun to cheer with the fans, and live and die, for one night, with a team you don’t know much about.
But I found it hard to get behind the [...]

This is a little out of order, and certainly overdue (as is the 2nd Christmas jersey post, which I promise is coming). It’s the Eagles vs Killer Bees.
Welcome to Dodge Arena:
Dodge Arena is in the middle of nowhere, or at least, the only thing near the arena is the nicest Best Western hotel I have [...]

I’m going a little out of order here, but I wanted to post the pictures from the CHL All Star Game from Laredo, TX. It was certainly an interesting game, or at least, the hoopla around the game was interesting (yes, I said hoopla). At the very least, I had a great time. [...]

I have only a little time before I have to get on the road to Hidalgo, TX for the Colorado Eagles vs the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees game, so this is mostly going to be a photo essay. I’m cooking up something else later.
Click on any photos you want to see bigger.
The sky over [...]

Lucky me, the Riverkings are having a post game skate.
Unlucky for me, the Eagles lost 6-2. Plenty of photos to share later.

How many hockey fights have I seen live this year? One, maybe two. Not like this. From tonight’s Colorado Eagles vs. Oklahoma City Blazers game.
Drop puck, drop gloves, drop puck, drop gloves, drop puck, drop gloves.
69 penalty minutes.

So, the Cup has been handed out, but there are still some championships being played out. The Cincinnati Cyclones are up 3 games to 2 against the Las Vegas Wranglers in the ECHL, and the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins are down 3 games to none to the Chicago Wolves in the AHL. After [...]

From the Coloradoan:
Colorado Eagles veteran Les Borsheim remains in critical condition today at a Greeley hospital following emergency surgery Sunday night, but coach Chris Stewart and two teammates said the surgery went better than expected.
Borsheim, 29, suffered a broken neck in a motorcycle crash Sunday afternoon about 3 miles east of Greeley. He was riding [...]

The Colorado Eagles are going back to the CHL finals, with tonight’s win over the Texas Brahmas (a brahma is a cow like bull, or something – I used to know). For those not in the know, the Eagles won the Championship last season, and have won it all twice in their five year [...]
