Saucey Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 How about this Board finally just quit with the COVID and politics, period? We don't need it here, there is going to be hockey to discuss. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I know I have a call in with the PIHL this week, I hope to have some official answers. I do know that we are not going to be at as many games (PittsburghHockeyDigest) for obvious reasons, but are offering broadcasting again and pre-determined coverage. I know some of last years broadcasts weren’t very high quality and left a lot to be desired, but I’ve worked on fixing things in the off-season. I was learning as I went and it showed. Hopefully they translate to a better product. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great someone is trying to provide more coverage of local hockey. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyisgreat Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 I saw that they had meetings for Varsity over the weekend. Anyone care to share what is going on and when the season might start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAAleaguestarter Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 They had posted the schedule on the website yesterday but took it back down only a little while after. First game was Nov 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting close to go-time, I would bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutton Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Anyone hearing any rumblings of teams with positive cases of Covid but not reporting? I've heard some rumors of different teams with current positive cases but are keeping the news in house as much as possible. Hoping this isn't happening, but certainly wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Mitch Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 By what I was told today there’s still a number of things that need to be hashed out on the schedule but what’s on the league site is legit. We were approved to cover games again by the league (including live broadcasts), which we were concerned about counting against capacity limits and are going to try to contact home associations to clear the space. We have to submit our coverage games earlier than last year, however and will be only broadcasting from rinks that have the technical capability (wired-in) until we figure out some stuff on our end, which we will be working on in progress. 2-3 games a week to start. Wifi was horrible for livestream, so we’re going to avoid it. I think it’s something at least 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume schools would report in general, teams like Peters are rumored to apparently be in quarantine now but you don't see that anywhere. I don't know how the PIHL is going to make it work if teams have outbreaks and are shut down for 2 weeks. I mean as it stands now, IF Peters is actually shut down, this will take them right up to the beginning of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPE, esmark along with some Pahl teams all have cases. I’ve had two family members test positive, the “regular” flu the past few years made them more sick. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfinger Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Unfortunately this is how it's gonna be now. The doomsayers that can't wait to shout out .... "[Insert team name] has been shutdown!" Just go away. Hide in your basement until the vaccine is ready. And if anyone listened to the PIHL call last night, they have plans to rearrange schedules as need be to work around teams being unable to play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a low grade fever for two days along with minor drainage that caused a slight sore throat. Like I said, we’ve had the regular flu run through our family that was much worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinlan2020a Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Telling people how Covid-19 is such a weak, wimpy virus will surely help the grieving families of our quarter of a million people that have died as a result of contracting it. It surely won't help prevent more infections & more deaths. History will not be kind to those that have downplayed the severity.
