A few Special Moments from last night’s “Pink in the Rink” Ceremony prior to the Jackals-Reading ECHL Hockey Game. Each of the Boys skated out to present flowers to a Brave, Strong, Determined Cancer Survivor. Followed up by a Great Rendition of the National Anthem and a really fun Puck Drop at Center Ice.
A shot I took early in the 2014-2015 Elmira Jackals ECHL Hockey Season of Talented Elmira Soloist Michael Burrell, performing the National Anthem. A moment of Pleasure of both Sight & Sound.
Couple of neat puck handling shots from Friday Night’s exciting Jackals Overtime Comeback Win over arch rival Reading!
During Elmira games all season long while shooting Jackals Forward Mike Seidel, he keeps reminding me of RANGERS forward Mats Zuccarello….same build, gritty determination and hustle, same long dark hair. Especially so tonight right after I shot Mats Z on Friday Night up in Buffalo. Anyway…..Mike put on one hell of a move tonight right in front of me during the second period that made me once again think of the similarities of these two players! Check it out! Poor ole Greenville Defenseman Sam Noreau #8, he didn’t know whether to shit or wind his watch!!!
Heated Third Period action by the Elmira Jackals in this image, catches their Captain Matt Tassone pounding in the home teams 7th or 8th goal of the night. Sorry, there were so many I lost count of which one this was! Great Game Boys, you dominated from start to finish!
Great Arena shots, the section near where my assigned shooting hole was located, & the fun gang of mostly RANGERS fans that surrounded me there. And the one thing I truly loved? I didn’t even have to clean my own windows because they have GLASS GIRLS! Even Ladies with Hockey Sticks on the Restroom Signs!………..HELLO BIG LEAGUES!…..LOL!
It was nice to visit & hopefully I can do it all again next season, and till then I’ll be back to cover OUR Elmira Jackals on Wednesday night!
On the same night that NY RANGERS Rookie Goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made his NHL Debut, so did I! Thanks to my Elmira Jackals friends in higher places, they pulled some strings and got me here tonight! Nate, Tom, Shona & Jared, I hope I made you proud and thus deserving with my work & professional representation of the Jackals organization on this fun and exciting night! And My RANGERS won too! 3-1
Here are my final selections from the night!
