    00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:05.500
>> I'm Tim King, I am the hockey color
analyst for the Penn State Sports Network.

    00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:11.760
My job entails basically cataloging
every piece of information

    00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:16.330
about the particular hockey
game that we're covering.

    00:00:16.330 --> 00:00:22.220
From the mundane to the important
statistics, backgrounds on the players,

    00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:27.850
you know what affiliations their parents might
have with the university, that sort of thing.

    00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:35.740
Game day for a home day, morning skate about
nine o'clock, just hang around the rink,

    00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:42.580
see what the guys look like, if somebody
looks particularly good or particularly bad,

    00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:46.670
do they look injured, do they look
like they're having a rough day.

    00:00:46.670 --> 00:00:50.160
Just talking to the coaches to
kind of get a feel for things.

    00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:56.300
Go back to the hotel in the afternoon and
just compile a couple more statistics,

    00:00:56.300 --> 00:01:01.230
make sure that I've got the
proper numbers that sort of thing.

    00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:07.280
Get to the rink about two hours before
game time, interact with the broadcast crew

    00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.430
from the other school, there's you know
maybe some question they have about our team

    00:01:12.430 --> 00:01:16.950
or a question or two I have about their
team and sometimes it's silly little things

    00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:21.510
like pronunciations or things like that,
make sure that you really have things

    00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:25.380
like that locked down before you go on the air.

    00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:28.660
Keep an eye on things during pregame
warmup, make sure nobody gets hurt,

    00:01:28.660 --> 00:01:33.910
make sure nobody looks out of
place or something looks wrong.

    00:01:33.910 --> 00:01:41.590
And then after the game probably leave the
rink 45 minutes and hour after the game ends.

    00:01:41.590 --> 00:01:46.110
And because of the way the college hockey
is setup, we'll play again the next night.

    00:01:46.110 --> 00:01:49.800
So you're taking all those statistics
that were generated during the game,

    00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:54.880
adding everything into what you already
had to make sure that everything you have

    00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:57.970
for the following night is up to date.
