First Blog Post!

Welcome to the first blog posting of Risers and Visors!

Who am I? /Why am I posting?

I am currently enrolled at Mercyhurst University with a double major in communication and Information Technology. I was a four year member of both the volleyball and lacrosse team at my high school, but for as long as I can remember I have always been interested in hockey. Over the past couple years my interest in hockey has pushed me from being just a casual viewer of NHL games towards more in depth views on the players themselves and what it takes to make it into such a competitive league. During this push into the depths of the hockey world I began to notice that the further away you get from the NHL into the junior league ranks, there is a surprising lack of coverage which is something I hope to help change through the creation of this blog.


What will I be posting?


I will primarily be using this blog to highlight interesting games in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), but as the season rolls along I will also be doing player profile on up and coming rookies, Stanley Cup Playoff Predictions, and even looking back on some of my favorite games of all time from seasons past. Since I am based in Erie, PA I will try my best to make sure that one of these games each week involves the Erie Otters in some way or another. Feel free to follow me on twitter for live updates or if you want to contact me about anything you'd like to see on this blog for the future!

Monday February 20, 2017 TD Place, Ottawa Ontario Ottawa 67’s* (20-29-6, 8 th in Eastern Conference)   Vs. London Knights (36-11-7, 3 rd in Western Conference)                                                                 Claus Anderson-Getty Images  This is game is a story of teams going in two different directions in the standings. London (6-4-0 last 10 games) is in the middle of a two game losing streak, but that does not take away from their stellar regular season that has them clinching a playoff spot over a month before the season ends. Ottawa (2-7-1 last 10 games) is in the middle of a 6 game losing streak and is in danger of missing out on the playoffs baring a huge end of season push. Skaters in the spotlight: Ottawa: Chris Martenet (Dallas Stars 2015 4 th round pick, #103 ove...

NCAA Finals: Denver Wins National Championship

Credit NCAA.com Frozen Four Harvard (1) Vs. Minnesota Duluth (2)  The University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs defeated the Harvard Crimson 2-1 in the first of two semifinals at the United Center in Chicago. Harvard led the play early with quick passing in the offensive zone. Tyler Moy scored Harvard only goal at 15 minutes of the first period, entering the zone and firing it over the shoulder of Minnesota's goaltender. This would be the last impressive change they would have as the Bulldog's would continue to bully the Crimson and would score the final two goals to win the game. Minnesota will await their final team to play in the championship on Saturday night. Denver(6) Vs. Notre Dame(1)  The Denver Pioneers used a six goal offensive explosion to be the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in the second semifinal game of the Frozen Four.
