WCHC Sports -Holy Cross Men's Hockey
Fan feedback received via e-mail regarding WCHC Hockey broadcast and highlight clip.
comments welcome: wchc@holycross.edu

I'm a fan of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers who would like to
compliment WCHC on the professionalism of its hockey broadcast team. I
listened to the broadcast of the Holy Cross - North Dakota game last Saturday.
The announcers (whose names I don't recall) were accurate, informative, and
fair-minded, all while being caught up in the spirit of an amazing weekend for
their team. I even enjoyed hearing the replays of the goals from the previous
night's game though I, as you can imagine, had hoped for a different outcome.
:-) Anyway, congratulations on a job well done.
I love the energy of the announcers on the tape. Just listening to itgets me fired up for Milwaukee. Thanks again and best of luck to HC next year and in the years to come.
Great clip, I was there to see it live as a Sioux fan cheering for Holy Cross. What a great game! Thanks for sharing it on siouxsports.com
I have to agree with others that listening to your highlight audio gave me the chills. It was amazing to be in the
arena to witness college hockey history in the making. The atmosphere was positively electric, and it carried right over to UND's game with Michigan and into the next night for the UND-Holy Cross game. I wish you could see
the video that they showed on the arena scoreboard before the UND-Holy Cross game because it did a wonderful job of setting the tone for the game.
I want to commend you for the excellent highlight audio, praise your broadcast team for its work during the games in Grand Forks and congratulate
Holy Cross's players, coaches and fans for how they conducted themselves during the NCAA West Regional tournament. Well done!
I really enjoyed the highlight tape of your win over the Gophers. Being a die-hard Fighting Sioux Fan, it is hard to describe how it felt for us to see your team work their tails off and beat Minnesota. Pure Joy!
Hope you all enjoyed your time in North Dakota, and hopefully this can be a stepping stone for your program.
As I listened to the audio highlights on your website I have to admit that I had a chill running up my spine. I have already e-mailed the sight to several of my family and hockey friends telling them that they need to check it out.
What a great piece of audio! I was actually out of the country for the West Region tournament and had to listen to the HC/Minn game over an internet audiocast, and I listened to the Holy Cross audiocast. Great job all-around - both by you and by the HC hockey team. Class act and earned a lot of respect, especially with us Sioux fans!
Thank you for the great listening!
Thanks for providing an outstanding hockey mix of the Friday night's Holy Cross/Minnesota game. As a Fighting Sioux fan, I cheered the entire night for the Crusaders, and was as ecstatic as anyone when Tyler McGregor scored the OT game winner. Listening to the mix brought that night back like it
was earlier today. Listening to the announcers was pure entertainment. Where you are a student based station, your announcers maintained professional composure as much as any broadcasting team I've ever listened
to. The radio broadcasters showed more class than any broadcasting team I've ever heard. The game mix was put together very well, and I hope it serves as a great memory for the outstanding season the Crusaders posted
this season.
Hello from Fargo, ND! I've listened to your HC Hockey Mix many times today and each time it causes such a rush of emotion. I can't thank you enough for sharing it with us!
I am partial to Fighting Sioux hockey for several reasons, one being the way they pride themselves in being tough and self-assured, yet humble. That seems to be the same way the Holy Cross players and staff conduct themselves. Your broadcast clip indicates that you and your staff work with that same integrity. Very truly impressive and heartwarming! Thanks again and best of luck in your future endeavors.
I am an active duty Air Force Master Sergeant, UND Fighting Sioux season ticket holder, and huge college hockey fan and an even bigger Gopher hater. This past year I have been stationed here at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar and have been in college hockey blackout (hell). The only way I
have been able to follow ANY college hockey is the SiouxSports.com fan site by following the posts that members put up during games, sorta like a gametracker or chat. I followed the link that was recently posted on
SiouxSports and found your website. I downloaded the highlight clip and absolutely LOVED it! You guys rock! I could imagine the sight of the crowd, the elation of the Crusaders, the dejection of the rodents!
Listening to the audio mix takes me right back to that night. Your enthusiastic call gives me chills! I will never forget the heart, grit and joy this team showed at the tournament. Thanks so much for memorializing that memory for me.
Just a quick comment on the great job you guys did at the West Regionals,especially the HC/Minnesota game! The raw enthusiasm, professionalism and style during the broadcast was indeed refreshing and a joy to hear. You made that game broadcast enjoyable to listen to, you were fair in your comments, you set an example for others to follow, and you beat any professional broadcasters hands down. Just a
great job!
I know you've heard this many times from Sioux fans but you guys did a fantastic job. I just listened to the mix you put together from the hockey game on Friday night (you know, the one where Holy Cross destroyed Minnesota?) and it was so awesome I had to listen to it again.Great job.
I just listened to the radio clip. Thank you very much for the warm feeling all over. I am a UND alum living in Denver Colorado and really appreciate the quality efforts of you work. Maybe you could do some cooperative programming with students from the University of North Dakota ?
I will spread the word about Holy Cross. I hope you do the same with the University of North Dakota.
I loved your highlight mix. That was an awesome game and I was so happy to be there. I loved hearing the emotion in your voices and the emotion on the team's faces. Thanks for the chance to cheer for you guys, it was great. A UND/Holy Cross Fan.
Thanks for putting up the radio mix, it is a spectacular momento to one of greatest nights of hockey I've seen.
Thanks for being so real during your broadcast, and thanks for the highlight clip. "We're not going home yet!" Great Stuff. I'm sending it to my brother stationed in Shanghai, he'll love it.
Thought I would drop you guys a line and say thanks for a wonderful job putting these clips together, and helping us sioux fans relive one of the most memorable experiences of college hockey ever.
Last night, I listened to the entire WCHC broadcast of the Holy
Cross-Minnesota game. As I was listening, it occurred to me: These guys do such a great job that I'd really like to hear their broadcast of the Holy Cross-UND game.
Nice job with the HC radio highlight tape!
It was an awesome game to attend.
A big Sioux salute to you and your
radio staff. Hope the guys enjoyed their visit to ND.
There will be some HC gear worn at Gopher games next season!
hi, my name is doug iverson, formerly of UND, and i can't really say much about this clip because it's so good, it takes my breath away! but i can say this: it was incredible. i know you guys have seen the sioux forum and all the talk about it on there, so you know that hundreds, if not thousands of sioux fans have heard this now.
not only was i brilliantly impressed with the highlight clip, i just listened to the, "sioux thank you" and was very honored and apprecialtive of everyone at HC for recognizing our fans. that means a lot to us that you would take time to give thanks to us. it just makes me even more proud to be grand forks, nd, native and a sioux hockey fan. thanks again, and keep up the good work. don't be afraid to chat on the sioux forum every once in a while.
I am a born and raised North Dakotan which means it is my birthright to be consumed with "Fighting Sioux Hockey". The emotion you guys gave to everyone listening back at Holy Cross was priceless. Being in northern Wisconsin I cannot get back home that often to see my beloved team. I,
like those individuals back on your campus, have to live the game through the emotion of the broadcast I listen to on the internet. My brother sent me the clip to listen to and I loved it. I am glad you were able to experience
the "Ralph" and that your team was able to reap the rewards of having 13,000 fans behind them. The thing I miss about home is the people. I am glad you were able to experience the good hearted nature of the people in ND. Now you know why we put up with 40 below winters....The people keep it warm.
WOW !!
I have listened to your clips (Hockey Mix and Sioux Thank You) a couple of times now, and each time I listen to it I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes as the OT goal was scored! I was at that game, as I am a HUGE Sioux hockey fan, and I can't remember any game in the past that has gotten the response that the HC/MN game got. Thanks again for putting together such a great game clip and the Sioux Thank You clip.
Thanks to you and your staff for the professional clip. The call on the game winning overtime goal is intense. I've sent the link to many Sioux friends (and now fans of HC) who all feel the same. My Goofer friends aren't as joyous.
I have recently come across your highlights from the HC vs. UM game. Thanks so much for the work you put in to bring us the highlights from the game. I live in Denver and was not able to attend the game in Grand Forks. I happened to turn on your broadcast about 5 minutes before the overtime session started. I was yelling so loud when HC scored the game winner that I missed what the announcers had said. I hope you enjoyed GF and I hope you guys can make it back there some day. Congratulations to your program.
I just listened to the audio of the highlights against Minnesota as well as the "Holy Crap" show. It was great to hear the excitement in the voices of your announce team, along with the thunderous support from the North Dakota fans at Engelstad Arena. Good luck in the future, and thanks again for posting the WCHC link and for your kind words to the Fighting Sioux faithful.
I just want
to tell you I was totally impressed by your announcing highlight clip. You guys did great! It was heartwarming to hear your enthusiasm for your team.
As a huge college hockey fan and a mom of college kids myself, I wish you guys the best in your professional careers!
Having watched you guys call the game because I was sitting in the press box, this clip is even more special!! I have passed this on to everyone I know and I want to say you guys were awesome and thanks for the memories!
I also want to thank WCHC for putting the highlight clip online to download. I have listened to that thing numerous times. The call by the broadcasters is unforgetable. Thank you for everything. I will always be a fan of Holy Cross.
The Sioux aren't going home yet, baby!
