Dean,

I have checked Youtube for "Home Game", but all I could find was the intro scene. I'll look at the book to remind myself of the chapter title. It could be that my memory is a little off (some say I am too) since it was back in college when I saw it, but I do remember it feeling like you were on the bench/ice with the players.

As for video I'm looking into getting one of these to hang on the glass behind both nets:

They plug right into a usb port and are formatted to upload easily to youtube. Right now they're $169 US at Costco. This still doesn't do the same as a helmet cam would though. Would love to see video from the goalie perspective. Come to think of it, I wonder what happens with all the video taken from the NHL net cams?

Thanks Dave, keep me posted on the Home Game stuff.

I used one of the "flips" on-ice to record skill stuff, goalie movements, then downloaded them for the class – and liked them… the resolution wasn't top notch and the memory amount wasn't great, but it served my purpose at the time. I like the idea of the placement to simulate a "net cam" perspective.

I know each NHL team receives many feeds / camera angles from each game. I will see if I can use my connections to take a look… maybe I can "find" some… stay tuned. (When I was with HC in the early 1990's I had access to and used a lot of footage shot from overhaed angles. This really lets you see the play evolve… not sure which angle I prefer (overhead or net cam.))

Off to the rink now…
