Hockey Broadcast test a success! D III and U. of Windsor

We tested out our 2008-2009 OU Hockey Broadcast today and it was a success, sounded good to. To listen to a game you will go here Then you will see a icon on the left called YouCastr It looks like this below:

Then you will click on Oakland and it will take you to the broadcast page when we are on live it will say listen here live on the page after you have clicked on the below box.

We also tested out adding in pre-recorded interviews with our recorder (we just had some nat sound of people talking a real interview will sound nice) and it works as well so we will try and get more of that for you.



From what I understand it will automatically record the games for us.

Regarding the game in Windsor, I talked to the staff at Windsor Athletics and for hockey they are playing in a "new" barn at least for Windsor next year so they are not 100% sure of the setup but we will be there if we have to use or own internet it won't be a live broadcast as of now because of how we would be charged because its in Canada. We are working to get an internet connection there to do it live.

It seems like the season is so far away but we are about 10 weeks away and for our planning purposes its crunchtime. As once we hit the Sept. Tryouts our focus will turn to getting all the music done, conduct interviews for the season preview we hope to do and more!

We are also working on trying to get DIII a broadcaster we have a few interested people so I will begin talkin to then in the next week or so.
