Just wanted to get everyones thoughts on the final game and see what everyone thought about the broadcast.

I was happy to see that both Long Island and HB had a really preofessional look in regards to their equipment. The broadcast was very well done.

I thought that explaining the differences between the ice and inline game was a really important and done well.

I think the AIHL has done a great job hopefully those people involved had a great time.

It was a blast! I know Ruppy, Dave, Anthony, Keith and Mario we're very busy working on the website all weekend as well, posting video, stories and keeping live stats.

So great to finally see teams from opposite conferences battling it out.

Was really interesting to see what goes into making an ESPN broadcast as well. Their crew was excellent and we're huge in making the championships a success.

Hopefully the players had as much fun as we did.

My favorite memory for the weekend was getting all the teams on the floor together after the Elite championship game for a group picture.

The entire experience was unbelievable. I would like to thank Keith Noll and the AAU for allowing me to be a part of it. Being able to see all of the division winners come together over a weekend was a lot of fun.

My favorite part of the trip was working with Ratcast and ESPN Dave Gardner, Ruppy Hailey and Anthony Flynn did a great job.

We will be working over the next few days to share all of the behind the sceen videos heading up to the Minor and Elite Championships on ESPN 3.

Great job to everyone involved.

Keith of AAU did a fantastic job with this event. He didn't stop working for a minute all weekend long. (It's just too bad we couldn't get him in the hot tub for an interview.)

Practically everyone from the AIHL that was there worked nonstop as well.

Anthony Flynn was constantly updating the new website with photos, videos, and stories. Mario Sousa was working the portable video camera 24-7. Ruppy, CJ, Nicole, Jeff Haze, and even French Toast and Milk Bone all worked their tails off at this event.

Lastly I want to say thanks to everyone who had confidence in me to do the broadcast for ESPN. I hope I did the league justice with my performance.

The broadcast was awesome. Thanks to everyone for the hard work. We also thought the attention given to explaining the difference between ice and inline was important since the frame of reference for some new to the sport is probably ice hockey. Also though the teams in the championships represented themselves well and looked professional. It was nice that the jerseys for the 495ers had really easily readible names on the jerseys- it made identifying players easy.Good job to all involved- its a great step for the sport to be so well represented.

Unfortunately, Cablevision, which I'd say 70% of people on Long Island have for their internet service, doesn't offer ESPN3. So the majority of Long Island (including myself) wasn't able to watch the games.

We learned of this during the Championships. We will be working on getting it up on our website in the near future so hopefully you can see it then.

I see from the website and You Tube that there are a lot of clips from other games during the weekend. Is there anyway to view the whole games?

If you go to ESPN3.com, look under replay and you will find the game listed. Now sure how long it will remain up there.

Craig, we are still working on uploading additional clips from the finals. Due to the Ratcast team trying to get every team involved there were no complete games outside of the Finas by ESPN3. Both key Ratcast members Dave Gardner and Ruppy Hailey were involved with the ESPN3 production.

We all had a blast being involved in it. I am currently adding some additional content to the Ratcastradio channel on You Tube now. I am hoping to link more stuff to the site once uploaded.
