Holy schnikes

It's going to be a photo finish!  Who will win?  CanesVision, or the clock?!

The first pre-season game will be bare-bones, to say the least.  We're working major overtime to make sure things are in working order for the fans.

Tonight was a big to-do at the arena for all the part time employees (for all departments).  It always comes at the most opportune time for us...  Anyway, this year we had nearly all of our employees present to go over the old, revised and new procedures for our game-day operations.  I'm hoping that the learning curve - at least from the procedures side - will not be too great for everyone.  The learning curve for equipment will probably drive a few to drink ;)

Anyway, if I'm not sleeping, driving or working.... I'm usually updating the blog ;)  Hope we can make it all worth while for everyone by Friday night!  For now... good night.

  1. Definitely one of the funniest titles to a blog post! I've got a random question for you.......would the goal horn affect the scoreboard in any way?

  2. Well... that's the way it feels around here ;)

    The goal horn is completely separate from the scoreboard. The only horns that tie in to the system are for the end of period horns that are based on the time clock. Even those have no bearing on our videoboards (other than the fact that the horns are attached to it).

    Currently, our goal horn has a cold. We hope to have it fully rested and refreshed by Friday.

  4. Uh oh! The Goal horn has a cold??!! If my memory is right, something happened to the horn last season too I think. Do they know whats wrong with it?

  5. Probably just "rusty" from not being used over the summer. They usually have to do some maintenance on the air compressor that drives it... it must be in the works because we've got a game in less than 48 hours ;)
