"Mike in Toronto" Barrett to Appear on "Fans in the Stands"

Mike Barrett, also known as "Mike in Toronto" on Blake Sebring's Tailing the Komets blog, will be Wendy Bartle's guest for this week's edition of "Fans in the Stands", which will air during the first intermission of the Komets Game of the Week broadcast. Mike, who is a longtime friend of Komets forward Colin Chaulk's family, was visiting the Summit City with Chaulk's mother and father-in-law. Though he only attends a few Komets games a year, he follows news on the team closely and is as true a fan as any. Mike will share stories regarding his relationship to Chaulk as well as discuss his views on how the sport of hockey is perceived in the US as opposed to Canada -- and how that may be changing. He will also talk about his own hockey team, the Milton Oldstars, and the charities their play has benefited over the years. Remember to tune in to Comcast channel 55 or Verizon Fios channel 25 on Wednesday, March 31 at 8 PM or on Thursday, April 1, at 4 AM or Noon to learn more about Mike, his association with Chaulk, and the ever-changing landscape of hockey in North America.

UPDATE: Due to the station temporarily misplacing the game tape, this game (recorded Friday, March 19, 2010) did not air as originally scheduled. One wonders if Homer Simpson now works at Access Fort Wayne. D'oh! When a new air date and time has been scheduled, I will post it.
