Covering the Last Laker's Home Game of the Season

It has been an exciting summer here in Peterborough. Although the weather hasn't been the nicest - we've had a great season of concerts with the Festival of Lights and the Lakers are fighting for a chance at the Mann Cup.

We've had great games here this year and the TVCogeco crew has enjoyed bringing you all the action on Cable 10.

Did you know that Peterborough fans provide the largest spectator audience to any of the teams. Not by a small margin either - we have, on average almost 2000 more fans per game show up! http://www.pointstreak.com/prostats/attendance.html?leagueid=832&seasonid=4236 Now if that isn't proof that "Peterborough Rocks", what could be!

Last week, I had the privilege of delivering the game ball to centre field on behalf of TVCogeco's staff and volunteers. I would have loved to run out there with the whole crew - you'd be surprised how many volunteers show up every game to help bring the game to you on Cable 10. There is a significant commitment from every one of the crew to ensure that each game is covered through the season, so you know its fueled by a love of what we do.

On Monday night , I was pinging Twitter's server by the minute to catch the game's results and thanks so some fans and the Examiner's posts - I was able to get some details.

Tonight's game is bittersweet. The Lakers are down 3-2 against Brampton in a fight for a chance at the 2009 Mann Cup. A Laker's win would force a Game 7 and put them one step closer to that chance - but unless we travel to Brampton - we wont see that game.

Tonight I'll be in the end corner with the camera rooting on our guys in the hopes that there WILL BE a Sunday game.

Let's pack the place and show Brampton what team spirit really looks like!
