Memory Lane: Laser Puck

     Laser puck, and glow puck were the unofficial names of a late 90's technology known as FoxTrax.  Fox Sports used FoxTrax (or laser puck) during its NHL (National Hockey League) broadcasts from 1996-1998.  The puck was lit up with a glow around it, and trails followed the puck after shots were released.
     The FoxTrax feature reminded me of a video game, and traditional hockey fans absolutely hated it.  I personally liked it, and casual hockey fans seemed to like it as well.  Video games continue to look more like the games on television, and the games on television continue to look more like a video game.  The NHL is currently experimenting with new puck tracking technology.

Over 2,000 Views A Month!

Hockey fights have contributed to the over 2,000 views per month that the Mitten State Sports Report currently receives!

     The Mitten State Sports Report has continued to earn over 2,000 views per month on a consistent basis for several months in a row.  It was during the month of June when the Mitten State Sports Report began to see an increase in the number of views that this publication receives.  By the time that July rolled around, the Mitten State Sports Report was receiving over 2,000 views a month.  In the last 30 days, the Mitten State Sports Report has received 2,395 views from all around the world, and the number will hopefully continue to rise.  The highest monthly total came in August when the Mitten State Sports Report received 2,400 views.  Although the number has continued to fluctuate, the amount of views per month has remained above 2,000 (since the start of July).
     At the beginning of August the total number of views received was just over 8,000.  Today (November 12th), the Mitten State Sports Report has been clicked on over 15,805 times.  That means that the Mitten State Sports Report has received almost the same amount of views in the last three months, as it received in the previous fourteen months combined.  With this kind of growth, there's no telling how high the ceiling is for the Mitten State Sports Report. 
     The Mitten State Sports Report has tried to shed some light on sporting events not often covered by the local mainstream media.  Local wrestling, ACHA hockey, and professional soccer are just a few examples of what you can find on the Mitten State Sports Report.  Thousands of sports blogs exist today, but the Mitten State Sports Report is different then all of them.  Most writers try to compete with the big dogs like ESPN, and FOX Sports, by covering games, and topics that are already under the microscope of the national media.  Instead of providing information about a topic, some bloggers use their platform to complain about athletes, or voice their displeasure about how "their team" is being run.  Controversial views that sometimes don't even reflect the opinions of the people writing them, have replaced the purpose of reporting, which is to reveal the facts.  The Mitten State Sports Report will continue to grow, and improve by reporting the facts about the local sports topics that interest you.  You can expect to find unbiased opinions about the teams, and games that are covered on the Mitten State Sports Report.  Most importantly, when you click on the Mitten State Sports Report you will learn something new about sports in the state of Michigan.
