While many people are familiar with the NHL, many people seem to forget the old Jr. Ice Hockey Skate leagues that used to air after the NHL games on local UHF in the northeastern part of the Unites States. Okay, mentioning the Jr. Ice Hockey league in the same vein as the old, pre-cable UHF system kind of dates the Jr. league, but, oh well, it is still fun to reminisce

Of course there are still Jr. ice hockey skate leagues in the United States, but they seem to have fallen off the radar of television airings. In the early 1980’s, the UHF stations would general book a three hour block of time for an NHL game. If the game ran short or ran over, there needed to be a filler put in the timeslot so as to bring the conclusion of the ice hockey skate game to the hour or half hour mark. So, many times, Jr. High School kids teams would be sent out on the ice of the major arena to play a game in front of, well, no one. The arena would be totally empty as the fans would have long since departed. This made the television viewing slightly odd as the arenas were generally large enough to seat twenty thousand fans. Having the hockey puck slam around and echo in the cavernous arena was a fairly odd sound to hear emanate from the television.

Still, the Jr. Ice Hockey Skate Teams were fun to watch and they seemed to get a real thrill out of performing on TV and in the huge (empty) arena. Sometimes, these kids would put on ice hockey skate games that were more exciting than the professionals!

Unfortunately, as the 1980’s turned into the 1990’s, for reasons unknown, local UHF channels stopped airing the youth hockey matches. They are sorely missed, but they will never be forgotten.
