Comcast Correspondent at a Classic New Year’s Weekend in Beantown

4 January, 2010

You know how the next best thing to owning a beach house is having a friend who does? Well, we didn’t have  tickets to this year’s Winter Classic, but Comcast Sportsnet’s Lisa Hillary did. Actually, she also worked the system a bit to get an invite to the league’s New Year’s Eve bash as well. Anyway, she [...]

Gold Medal Rematch

4 January, 2010

I have a strong hunch that Verizon Center’s media room televisions will be showing a lot of hockey tomorrow night, seeing as how the U.S. defeated Sweden 5-2 last night at the World Junior Championships, setting up a rematch showdown with Canada at 8:00 Tuesday. I think there’s a Canuck broadcaster in town I need to [...]

An Instant Classic at the WJC

1 January, 2010

As if the Federal Aviation Administration didn’t have enough on its plate these days, last night nearly two dozen American jets collided with a fleet of Air Canada 747s in Canadian air space. No wait, those were American teenagers wearing Red, White, and Blur hockey sweaters on an ice sheet in Saskatoon, and skating in [...]

Meet Washington’s Hanson Sisters

24 December, 2009

Earlier this season we schemed what we thought would be good fun for OFB’s Christmas card in 2009: outfit three of our favorite hockey lovers among local media — Comcast Sportsnet’s Tara Wheeler, Lisa Hillary, and Michelle Scalise — in Charlestown Chiefs’ sweaters and Santa’s caps at one of Washington’s most scenic skating locales, and [...]

A Mobile Comcast Sportsnet, Covering Hockey

19 December, 2009

It’s a Friday afternoon in early winter, and ominous clouds foretelling a historic snow storm are forming overhead. What are a pair of leading players for Comcast Sportsnet’s hockey team doing?

Late-Night Gamewatch Duty Falls Upon the Young

16 December, 2009

One of the virtues of having undergraduate associates is that they can be assigned to monitor West Coast games while we old geezers hit the hay around period two for work in the morning. Take it away, night owls: 1st Period Andrew’s take: It is hard to make a definitive decision for or against the [...]

How a Reporter Wards Off Rink Chill

21 November, 2008

This week, when scores of Washington puckheads donned touques to welcome ‘Pond Hockey’ to town, Comcast SportsNet’s Lisa Hillary extended the head fashion party to her reporting from Kettler Capitals. (She owns more than two dozen touques.) Some of our readers have urged our pursuing an OFB line of warming headwear. If Hillary will wear [...]

Open File: Duchesne Cup Championship

23 September, 2008

[Check out the first published photos of the presentation of the Duchesne Cup.] I alone among camp chroniclers am sporting a playoff beard during the Duchesne Cup Challenge, but I was also a big Gator fan. Bruce Boudreau gets the credit for conceiving the Duschesne Cup (recommended viewing: Lisa Hillary’s coverage of it), and initially, [...]

Travel Agents Need Not Apply: My R&R at the September Rink

22 September, 2008

Welcome to my vacation. This week I have friends recreating in Switzerland, Canada, and Virginia Beach. Meanwhile, I’m spending my week-long R&R at Kettler Capitals. No offense to my traditional vacation-traveling friends, but I think mine the most alluring, fulfilling, and restorative of getaways. And yes, most exotic. You could offer me a cruise, a [...]
