I kind of like scripting in #HudlSportsCode so I have decided to share some of my knowledge! Check out this video if you want to script rows dynamically in your output windows. https://t.co/2cgxaVbsCx

What a game by Helle. Congrats to him and KC on the gold.

That said… 3-on-3 doesn’t belong in a game like that. 🇨🇦

I get the economics of the Olympics and broadcast rights… but what’s going on with all the ad breaks during the opening ceremonies on the Canadian broadcast?

It’s becoming borderline unwatchable.

Congratulations to Scott Arniel and the @NHLJets coaching staff for being named October’s #NHLCA Coaching Staff of the Month!

What does it take to keep a hockey team healthy, happy and performing at a high level during a grueling road trip?

I got an up-close, eye-opening look on the #NHLJets 6-game, 11-day trek through 3 time zones.

The @NHLJets are off to a record-setting start of the season and claim the #NHLCA Coaching Staff of the Month for October.

Plus… Scott Arniel made #NHL history as the first Head Coach to record a win streak of at least 8 games to start their tenure with a new team. Congrats!👏

I'm looking for an intern this year with a main focus of in game breakdown. Must be in Winnipeg. There is an honorarium per semester. Feel free to reach out with any questions or pass on to any potential interns. If you're looking to get in to hockey ops this is a great start!

After 2,726 games coached, the most in NHL history, Rick Bowness announced his retirement following the 2023-24 season.

Over the past 5 decades he has been a mentor, leader, and a friend to so many people in the hockey community.

Congratulations, Bones, on an incredible career!

Hey @AirCanada could anyone help me out? You have cancelled 2 flights on me for “crew constraints”, the flight I did get on was 1:10 late.

I was supposed to be in Ann Arbour yesterday afternoon and I present at @TheCoachesSite live conference at 2pm. New Flight leaves TO at 2.

Congratulations to our Video Coach, Nigel Kirwan, on his 2,000th NHL game, all with the #Bolts!! 👏

Growing up, my dad always told me that when you are at a hockey game in the crowd, keep your eye on the puck, but the offside camera that's a new one. 📹👀

Congrats Oliver! Lots of great content there. I'm sure that number will keep ticking up! 📈

Really cool to see the YouTube channel hit 1000 subscribers for a very niche topic like video analysis! I love hearing stories from Sportscode users about how the videos helped them in their careers. It led to me getting a job as well so really to the network these videos created
