“Getting ready to break the ice…”

After 4 years of living in AZ I was finally able to get to a supercross. I always had hockey games keeping me busy. Dad and I drove up this morning to check it out. Went and saw the old gang in the TV crew. I definitely miss this!

Ironically got sent this tweet and was asked to whip up a quick graphic for In-Game Live this evening. I guess I dodged a bulletlast year (no offense to anyone in Utah). I thought they were gonna have this all figured out a couple seasons ago, but Tempe didn’t want to let the Coyotes pay for the project outright. So they started a negative information campaign and outspent them 10-1 in local marketing. I’ve said it before, but congrats Tempe! Enjoy your gigantic landfill, you gigantic morons.

So this was super fun. Yesterday I was building a ton of odds boards for Sports Grid. I have to find basic betting stats, win/loss stats, scores, etc. but I also have to get player images to use for cutouts. I’m working on NHL boards and when the Vegas Golden Knights/Buffalo Sabres game came up I texted my buddy who works for VGK. I said “Hey dude. Who’s your favorite player on the team that you know will likely get time on the ice tonight.” He responded with “Jonathan Marchessault.” A couple minutes later I sent him this graphic. Yesterday was fun… looking forward to more.

I started working 2 new Saturday shows for Sports Grid, “Gametime Decision” and “In Game Live.” I’m building graphics and editing highlights. Working on live TV is very different from your home office than it is on the road. But some things stay the same…

I was very saddened to hear about the loss of Art Eckman. I had just turned 20 years old when I moved to Atlanta to work for MotoWorld on ESPN2 in 1996. One of my first features that I edited was a piece about Ryan Hughes’ recovery from his broken jaw that season. Art had written and voiced the piece and worked very closely with me to get it fine tuned for air. From that first collaboration on, Art never yelled “Hey kid” or treated me less-than because I was younger, or a fresh production assistant. (I couldn’t say that about all of my co-workers at the time). He could have bossed me around, and I would have done what he asked. But he didn’t. I didn’t realize it until I started to get older, but that spoke volumes about his character.

Art’s voice was immediately recognizable, and would shake the woofers out of a speaker like a heavy metal bass player. I woke him up early one morning on a phone call and thought I had woken up a broken tuba by mistake.

Shortly after leaving Seals, I got a call out of the blue from Art. He was working for this new “internet website thing” called Motocross.com. Because I had helped him fix his home computer, he figured I’d be a perfect guy to help them out with photos and stories. Enter the next phase of my career.

The last time I saw Art was in 2014. He was in San Diego for a few days and a bunch of tv crew folks got together to drink margaritas and swap old stories. It was great to see him and David Bailey together again. They were a special team on camera. Art was a solid guy with and an amazing broadcast talent. It was a privilege to work alongside and learn from him.

Who knew working for a hockey team for 2 years would turn me into a fan? Came to check out opening night. Not gonna lie, I missed it a bit! Thanks to the Tucson Roadrunners for the tickets!
