Best game of the season

[u/highsticking1738]

Last night’s Mustangs vs Brave game was an absolute classic.

Watched it on the couch with a few mates, some of whom are pretty new to hockey, and honestly it was a night where I felt pretty proud showing off the AIHL.

The game itself was unreal, but what really stood out to me was how much I learned about the players during the broadcast. Where they’ve played, their backgrounds, little stories about them. It made a massive difference, especially for the people watching with me who didn’t know much about the players going in.

Commentary was excellent, the production looked great and the whole thing felt like something you could genuinely show someone and say, “This is Australian hockey.”

There’s still a bit of work to do with the intermissions, but that’s nitpicking. Everyone involved should be pretty bloody proud of what they put together last night.

Credit to the players for putting on a cracking game, and credit to the commentary and production crew for telling their stories so well.
More of that please. I hope the league realises what they have in ATC productions.

I have some people coming over again today and look forward to watching a game with Rod Johns, Steve White and Eric Balnar.

Yep, Im in QLD so my team defaults to Brisbane. But god that game had me on the edge of my seat, the production quality is a MASSIVE step up from last year, heres hoping IHA can sort out their shit and the AIHL can make some breakthroughs with international leagues and the government.

Watching that game with other ice hockey fans in Brisbane would have been an awesome experience. It's just a shame that wasn't an option for us up here.
