Game Notes
GAME NOTES AND MINOR OBSERVATIONS, MARCH 22
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008The final, final set of game notes for the 2007-08 season. Thank goodness. I love calling the games and all, but quite honestly, this season has not been much fun. I know the fans have had a tough time dealing with it. Try doing your best every night to make it SOUND good.
THERE’S STILL A […]
MINOR OBSERVATIONS, MARCH 21
Friday, March 21st, 2008GAME NOTES
Here’s the final set of game notes for the 2007-08 season. I’ll say this; it’s a heck of a lot more fun, and way easier, to do game notes when your team is winning.
GUTS GARBS
Josh Garbutt could have easily pulled the chute, sat out the last few games with an injury, and collected a […]

BROOM-WIELDING FURBALLS
If nothing else, Phil and the game ops crew will make sure you’re entertained tonight. The first intermission will feature MASCOT BROOMBALL, featuring some of the fuzzier creatures from around the Valley. This ought to be a hoot.
COACHES SHOW AND GREEN BEER
We […]

GAME NOTES, MINOR OBSERVATIONS, MARCH 7
Friday, March 7th, 2008Early edition game notes for this weekend.
Make sure to get to the game early on Saturday to get one of the Killer Bees wall clocks being given away. And don’t forget to set your clocks ahead Saturday night. That’ll make Sunday’s 4 p.m. game at Austin all that more fun.
And just as a reminder, there’s […]
GAME NOTES, FEB 29
Friday, February 29th, 2008Game notes for this weekend.
Hopefully the team can play the same type of game they played in Odessa. Lots of heart, passion and effort. I, like you and the coaching staff, wonder why that only seems to show up once every 10 games or so.
Bees Owner/President Troy Nelson was quoted in the paper as saying […]
GAME NOTES, FEB 26
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Game notes for Feb. 26 at Odessa. Tonight’s game is at 7:05 PM on KURV 710 Talk Radio, www.allinbroadcasting.com and the CHL Network. Probably a short pre game as we follow The Drive Home with Davis Rankin.
GAME NOTES, FEB. 21
Thursday, February 21st, 2008Here’s this weekend’s game notes.
I know some of you bring headsets to the games to listen to the radio feed in the arena. I want some feedback. How is it working out?
How is the customer service at the arena? How is the customer service from the team’s front office? Let me know your thoughts.
Same thing […]
BUCKS STOMP BEES 4-1
Sunday, February 17th, 2008By:Rachel Reida
Hidalgo, Texas — Matt Summers nabbed the game-winner nearing the end of the first period en route to a 4-1 Laredo Buck defeat of the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees Saturday night at the Dodge Arena. Travis Banga picked up the lone goal for the Bees at the 13:00 mark giving […]
GAME NOTES, FEB 16
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Good news everyone! The Bees finally won a game!
Here’s tonight’s game notes along with my patented, copyrighted, trademarked, formatted Pointstreak text stats.
What a weird night around the league Friday. Odessa gets throttled, Wichita beats Colorado and Tulsa beats up on the RiverKings. Top that off with a Rio road win and you’d think there was […]
GAME NOTES, FEB. 15
Friday, February 15th, 2008What better way to spend the morning than sitting in the ice cold “press box” at Chap Ice in Austin? So begins the eight-game pre-playoff playoffs between the Bees and the Ice Bats. Can the Bees magically snap out of their funk? Can they at least play spoilers to Austin’s playoff bid?Can they run the […]
TONIGHT’S GAME NOTES
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Here you go, tonight’s gamenotes hot off the presses.
SOLUTIONS, AND THIS WEEKEND’S GAME NOTES
Thursday, February 7th, 2008I’ve gotten a few emails, phone calls, etc. regarding Saturday’s incident.
Despite the actions of one presumably intoxicated cementhead, Killer Bees hockey is a fun, affordable, safe, family entertainment option. We, and the Dodge Arena, will not tolerate that type of behavior.
We are working to identify the one fan who was responsible. That said, SOMEONE […]
GAME NOTES, JAN. 31
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Here’s this week’s early game notes, updated player bios and full stats pack. Enjoy crunching the numbers.
Make sure you show up early this weekend if you want to get the giveaway items; T-shirts on Friday and fleece blankets on Saturday. They’ll go quick.
Brian Sandalow tells me he has an interesting story for Friday’s Monitor that […]
GAME NOTES, JAN. 26
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Here’s this weekend’s game notes and Statwiz. Statwiz is a pretty neat Excel-based system my friend Mike, with a ton of help, developed while in Worcester. Essentially, you plug in the game stats and it updates the rest of the stuff on its own.
Both games this weekend will be broadcast on KURV 710 Talk Radio, […]
GAME NOTES, JAN. 21
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008Here’s the game notes for this week’s games at Rocky Mountain and Colorado.
Similar to what happened to me in New Mexico, the altitude and cold weather has me in a fit. I’m congested with a runny nose, yet dry as a bone. I’ve been running the shower just to get some humidity in the room […]
GAME NOTES, JAN. 18
Friday, January 18th, 2008Here’s this weekend’s game notes, including the full stat pack.
A few folks over on the Bees message board had some questions that I’d like to get into more at some point, but here’s a few quick replies.
I’ve said it a million times; an affiliation at this level needs to be a perfect fit. It can […]
GAME NOTES, JAN. 11
Thursday, January 10th, 2008Here’s this weekend’s game notes.
Robin Big Snake has signed with the team and is expected to be in the lineup this weekend.
GAME NOTES, JAN 8
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008Here’s a copy of tonight’s lineups so you can print it off and take it with you. I’ve had a few people ask about getting the lineups at the game; all you need to do is go to the Pena Eye Institute Info Booth and ask and you’ll get the lineups and notes.
Speaking of notes, […]
GAME NOTES, JAN. 4 2008 — UPDATED
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Well, Happy New Year everyone. It’s been rough goings lately on the ice so hopefully the turn of the calendar turns the team’s luck.
Regardless of wins and losses, we have an exciting weekend on tap and some great giveaway items. On Friday the first 1000 fans get 2×3 5th anniversary player flags courtesy of M&S […]
GAME NOTES, DEC. 31
Monday, December 31st, 2007Happy New Year everyone.
While you sip champagne with your friends, the team will be driving back from Laredo for the second year in a row. How nice would it be to end the year with a win at the LEC?
Here’s tonight’s game notes along with the full stats pack. There’s a few scoring changes that […]
GAME NOTES, DEC. 28
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Here’s this weekend’s early game notes.
Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas. I want to thank all the wives and girlfriends for putting together such an amazing spread on Christmas day! It hit the spot, that’s for sure.
Some fun things going on this weekend here at the Hive. If there’s one this we try to do, […]
THE CHRISTMAS MOUSE?
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007Here’s tonight’s updated game notes. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN Radio 1240 AM as well as online.
Well, the road trip is almost over. It’s been a long haul and it’s a shame the team couldn’t at least pull a point out of Friday’s game after the grit they showed to tie things […]
GAME NOTES, DEC. 21
Friday, December 21st, 2007Here’s tonight’s updated game notes. Game time is 7:35 MST. Broadcast on KURV 710 Talk Radio.

GAME NOTES, DEC. 15
Saturday, December 15th, 2007Updated roster and game notes for tonight’s game at New Mexico.
And the roster shuffle continues…Jared Silver gets waived to make room for Dan McNeill, and Dennis Maxwell is due to come off the IR. We’ll have to wait and see what, if any, changes are made prior to tonight’s game.
UPDATE: Dennis Maxwell has been activated […]
GAME NOTES, DEC. 14
Friday, December 14th, 2007Here’s this weekend’s game notes.
It’s awfully chilly here in Amarillo. Makes for a more Christmas-like feel, at least for those of us from cold weather parts. Maybe in time I can get used to wearing shorts on Christmas day. Word is we’ll be heading right into a storm on our overnight to New Mexico.
Minor Observations
Glens […]
GAME NOTES, DEC. 7
Thursday, December 6th, 2007This weekend’s updated game notes, roster and player bios.
Don’t forget your Teddy Bears. Did anyone see the big Spiderman looking thing that got tossed on the ice somewhere? Where was that? Can someone here top that?
And yes, Tuomi is related to the Corpus guy. I’m told they’re cousins, but I need to confirm that.
GAME NOTES, DEC. 1
Saturday, December 1st, 2007Hard to believe we’re already into December. Holy smokes. First you can’t wait for the season to start, next thing you know it’s Christmas creeping around the corner.
We’re on the way to Austin, expecting a 5 a.m. arrival or so. Just passed through the Falfurrias border check with no hassle.
Here’s tomorrow’s game notes. Internet signal […]
TONIGHT’S LINEUPS
Friday, November 30th, 2007I’ve gotten some response from fans who like to print out the game notes and take them to the game. They asked that the lineups be made available here as well. So, when I can, I’ll make the lineup sheets available here on home game days. So, here’s tonight’s lineup. If you need one when […]
GAME NOTES, NOV. 30
Thursday, November 29th, 2007Here’s this weekend’s game-notes-113007.pdf(early edition).
Also updated the player bios. Enjoy, and if something doesn’t make sense, feel free to let me know.
Last night’s TIP-A-BEE at Outback in McAllen was a lot of fun. I’ll post some pictures in a bit.
Here’s something I want to put together for our TV broadcasts. It was a staple of […]
GAME NOTES, NOV. 27
Monday, November 26th, 2007game-notes-112707.pdf
Here’s this week’s game notes, nice and early for tomorrow’s game at Laredo.
Heck of a comeback win Saturday night. Ken McRae must be losing his mind in Corpus. He’s a good coach and a good guy. Speaking of Corpus, fellow blogger Greg Rajan wrote a very interesting piece about the comparisons between recruiting in college […]
GAME NOTES, Nov. 24
Friday, November 23rd, 2007Here’s tomorrow’s game-notes-112307.pdf.
Tough game tonight; Texas wins their eighth one-goal game. They are 8-4-0 on the season. And one of those losses was a one-goal game.
I wasn’t sure whether or not Texas had a CHL Network feed; they didn’t. As far as I know, it’s Austin, Wichita and Texas as the only teams with no […]
SAVE ME SOME STUFFING
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving and trying to remember what it’s all actually supposed to be about. Which is to say it wasn’t originally intended as a day to rest up so you can get up at 4 a.m. on Friday and go stand in line at (insert big box store name here) […]
Game Notes, Nov. 21
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007Here’s the early version of Wednesday’s game-notes-112107.pdf.
Remember, if you are a season ticket holder you have a “bring a friend on us” coupon in your book. If you plan on using it, redeem it early since this game usually sells out.
The game will be a net-only broadcast, both on the CHL Network (video) and allinbroadcasting.net […]
Game Notes, Nov. 16-17
Thursday, November 15th, 2007Here’s an early look at this weekend’s game notes.
game-notes-111607.pdf
As for the Herauf-Looby trade, I like it. This team desperately needs goal scoring. Herauf was an all star last season and a rookie of the year candidate. Hopefully he can recreate last season’s success with the Bees. I’ll miss Looby being around though. He’s a good […]
OFFICE SPACE SPECIAL
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007Today marks the first office space special of the year. Game time at the Laredo Entertainment Center is 11 a.m. Broadcast is on ESPN Radio 1240 AM.

Sunday, November 11th, 2007Today’s notes game-notes-111107.pdf
So, Youngstown is the last of the undefeated in regualtions. 9-0-1 is a pretty impressive start. All over Laredo, people are taking cover because the sky is falling. Oh, I mean the Bucks lost a home game. Same thing. The Bucks really poured it on in the third period last night, but […]
Game Notes, Community Events
Thursday, November 8th, 2007Here’s the early version of this weekend’s game notes.
game-notes-110907.pdf
Make sure to visit the community events section of the website to see what’s coming up. This Saturday is the car seat giveaway. I’m amazed at how often I see kids in cars jumping around in the back seat, so I’m happy that the team is […]
Tonight’s Notes
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007Here’s tonight’s notes.
game-notes-110307.pdf
As far as transactions go, yesterday’s moves were not nearly as eventful as it seemed they might be.
n The Bees signed defenseman Jon Hedberg prior to Thursday’s game at Laredo and placed F Marlon Joseph on the 14-day injured reserve, retroactive to October 27, prior to […]
Pink Sticks and Game Notes
Friday, November 2nd, 2007A quick turnaround today after last night’s loss at Laredo. The bus pulled into the Dodge a little after 1 a.m. and the guys were back on the ice this morning at 10 a.m. They practiced with pink-taped sticks today and signed them after morning skate. We’ll auction those off in the lounge Saturday […]

The Bees travel to Laredo tonight for their first test against the 6-0 Bucks. Three shutouts in six games, outscoring their opponents 37-9…I don’t how they’ll be able to keep that pace up, but if they do, look out. Personally, I’m hoping they pull a Colorado Rockies and […]
Updated Notes, TV Time
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Updated notes and stats. I usually will post just the notes, but I decided today to include the full stats pack. I’ll do so from time to time.
Don’t forget tonight’s game is on TV - XERV-9, cable 19. Ask for it at the bar if you aren’t coming to the Hive tonight. The radio broadcast […]
