Good to hear others perception of 'arcade-i-gym' is similar to mine. Not sure what they charge, but I would rather load the kids up with quarters and send them to the arcade! It's probably cheaper. Better yet, play some 'real' Smart Transitional Games in a gym or on the ice!!!

Dman – Now you have piqued my interest in the old CBC series. I know I can borrow it at the public library. I want to see this footage! Have you checked youtube yet? (Can you provide more identifying info about the specific episode?)

I know I have seen some footage from a French-Canadian goalie who played for the Avalanche (?? who?? not Roy) that was filmed from inside his mask during an exhibition game, as part of a eye movement PhD. study. I know who showed me – I will try to locate him to see if he still has it; and if it is allowed to be shown. If the answer is yes, I will post it. If not… you won't hear anything from me!!!

I bought a Sony Handycam (HDR 150 XR 150) this spring to record my daughters birth. It is an HD quality / hard drive model. I paid about $650 CDN at London Drugs. I have used it to record a few pro, junior and minor hockey practices. It is an excellent way to show coaches how they look on the bench / at practice – not too mention a great visual for the players! (Video doesn't lie!)

Just don't take it to Vegas…! 😉 'cause like I said, video doesn't lie!

Now I need to figure out a way to quickly get it available to show players – ie immediately on site – looking at a small notebook / ipad but I need to learn more… can anyone provide advice?
