<v Speaker 1>Saturday for the coolest thing you'll ever see their Teddy

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Bear toss matt Enee against the Fort Wayne Comments. For

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>more on that, Let's go straight to the source, the

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>outstanding play by play voice of yours Cincinnati Cyclones. That

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>would be Rudy Hodgson. How are you?

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I am great, Thanks for having me on. Great to

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 2>hear your voice. And I'm excited to see the Teddy

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.639
<v Speaker 2>Bears fly here at Fitch Banks Center this weekend. How

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>are you?

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I am well, And I'm excited about this because I

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>love when you you can paint the picture of all this,

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>because the visual it is iconic. Explain the concept in

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen?

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so. The Cyclone post of Fort Wayne comments, this Saturday,

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>it's a four pm puck trump And for those that

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 2>don't know what the teddy bear toss is, once the

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Cyclones score their first goal of the game, you can

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>bring as many bears as you like to the building

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and you throw them over the glass, throw them at

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the opposing goalie if you like, and all those bears

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>go to a great cause. They benefit our Cincinnati Police,

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati FD and it's all amazing. Matthew twenty five minute stries.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Also in the mix.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Have you been hitting ahead by a stuffed animal while broadcasting?

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>No? But I'm not sure if you remember this, But

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>last year I said that broadcast is before me. What

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>warned me that if they if people don't like you,

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>they'll turn around few bears at you. So I'm must

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>be doing a pretty good job because nobody throw a

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>bear at me last year.

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's right. Okay, so backtrack a little bit here,

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>refresh my memory. Does this take place when a goal

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>is scored or when the game is over? What's the

0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>moment that triggers it.

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>All the Cyclone's first goal, so it could happen at

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 2>any point. Last year we got down to the wire,

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>it's like five minutes to go in the game, but

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>it could happen as soon as the Cyclone score.

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that it's a matt and a I

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>love because you can go late afternoon and still have

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your Saturday night to enjoy as well.

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and it's a day full of hockey because earlier

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 2>in the morning we have our frozen five K ten K,

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 2>so I'll have all the hot chocolate, all the marathon,

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>all the runners want to come down, and so it

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>could be a whole day at the bank. So you

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>can run for a couple of minutes and then you

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>can go go enjoy a meal and then come on

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 2>back to the rinks.

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of meals, I must ask were did you happen

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to be part of the meal the team meal at

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Ruby's where the chef prepared a goalie mask cake.

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it. It is awesome. It is fantastic, and

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm jealous. I kind of want my own. My parents

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>are coming in town for the first time next month,

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and that's the first place I'm going to take them

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>to and I'm going to make sure we get the

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>goalie helmet.

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 1>That was awesome. Go back to yesterday if we could,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 1>because it was Kid's Day, so that was an early start.

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.640
