Watching Behind the Scenes

We weren't able to get any of the college hockey conference finals on TV tonight, so I managed to do the next best thing to catch the end of the WCHA final between Denver and North Dakota.

The Pioneers and Fighting Sioux went to double overtime, before Matt Frattin won it for NoDak with a goal at 5:11.


This is a screen shot of the FSN North website. FSN streamed all of the camera angles as well as the behind-the-scenes commentary by the producer and director.

It wasn't easy to follow all the cameras, but you could see how they set up the replays and all of the different camera shots.

As a TV play-by-play man, you're hearing the director's calls in your ear while calling the game. Hmmm, maybe a one-camera broadcast isn't so bad after all!

Congrats to the conference champs: Air Force, Boston College, Miami, North Dakota and Yale. The final tournament brackets will be revealed Sunday morning.
