I remember Roy Ives.  One of the best.

I wish we had tapes.

There are recordings of the March 6, 1979 CU-Providence game floating around....  Roy & Tom Joseph did that game.  Roy was THE best!!

Dork alert:  I have taken my walkman to home games for years...  I learned much abt hockey from Roy/Tom....   When Roy said (on the radio) that the puck was in some certain place on the ice, that is exactly where the puck was located (at that time)...  He had an uncanny ability to saty up with the flow of the game....   None of his successors have had that great talent...  They all have to "fudge" a bit to keep things flowing...  Hard to explain here...  I'm not knocking the others...  Just explaining what sets Roy out from the rest.   Play-by-play is difficult!

I've known Roy quite well for many years and had the pleasure of working with him back in the 60s and 70s at WHCU. He told me that when he was growing up, he'd listen to Foster Hewitt broadcasting Hockey Night in Canada and as he got into hockey broadcasting, he worked very hard to emulate Foster in describing the action; not only what was happening, but where on the ice it was occurring.  Over his years of broadcasting Cornell Hockey, he became very adept at it.

Roy was usually very cool and collected as he broadcast games. But then there's the Cornell-Providence game from March 6, 1979. Here a video with Arthur describing the game and Roy's call of the tying and winning goals.

Roy has been retired for many years now.  I occasionally see him at games and around town.

since when are Home announcers not allowed to be Homers?  and Rizzuto was as over the top Homer as it gets.  Some schools its all about the WE, listen to a ND radio broadcast. the show is being broadcast for the "WE" fans not the avg person so why shouldn't it cater to that?

Listen to SU broadcasts.  When Turrico/McDounagh?  are doing national shows its one style, but when they come back and step in for the local guys, they are SU guys.

Because homerism is fucking horrible.  Grady and Adam and Jason have all been fantastic and have all been anti-homer.  We have been blessed.

Homer announcers can die in a fire.

Here's a demonstration using the highlights video of the insane Harvard-Clarkson game a few weeks ago. The difference in volume between a Clarkson goal @ 1:59 of the video and a Harvard goal @ 2:23 makes me chuckle. You can almost hear the sound of his pout after an amazing sequence of consecutive 2-on-1s.

Gone are the days of Bob Ahfeld and Josh Bartell for Clarkson radio. They always called a fair and excellent game. One thing I've always liked about Cornell's broadcast teams is the genuine level of excitement for exciting plays by either team.

Live coverage of blue seats watching tonight's game on ESPN3. Q up 2-1 after one.  Switzer having a rough year.

Go tigers.

Holy smokes, not sure what was worse, the announcing or the goaltending.

Q announcer is very good.
