NBC announcer Bob Costas reminisced during the first intermission about his days as the radio announcer for the Syracuse Blazers of the old North American Hockey League. The NAHL was the motivation for the Federal League in the movie Slap Shot.
Speaking of Syracuse hockey, it is interesting to note that the very first Calder Cup trophy was won by the I-AHL's Syracuse Stars in 1937. The Syracuse Crunch have been unable to reclaim the now AHL-owned cup in their 14 years of existence.

Costas Talks Syracuse Blazers Hockey
I'm a sports reporter who most recently covered Syracuse University football for Clear Channel Syracuse (620 WHEN & 570 WSYR).
I attended SUNY Oswego where I majored in Broadcasting-
Mass Communications. I was also the Voice of the Lakers (VOTL) from 2007-2009 on 88.9 FM WNYO Oswego. It was during this time that I created this blog, then known as the WNYO Sports Blog. Upon leaving Oswego, I took the blog with me. I am a supporter of SU & Oswego State Athletics, as well as the New York Yankees, NY Giants, and NY Rangers. The VOTL.com is also simulcast on Bleacher Report.
