This week at CONSOL Energy Center was spent preparing for the 2016 World Cup of Hockey preliminary round games next week.
I ran (literally) to CONSOL in between classes on Thursday for an hour and a half to prepare credentials for team Canada, North America, Russia and the Czech Republic for the week. As soon as I finished, I had to run back to campus for my 1:00 class and then immediately go to the North Shore for the start of the Reds Pirates series. That was a busy day.
Unlike a typical game day, the players for the World Cup of Hockey all need credentials for the event.
The Russians spelled names a little differently than we're used to. For example, Evgeni Malkin's name was spelled Evgeny by the Russians, so that's how we had to put it on his credential. The Czech names were a bunch of consonants thrown together and required careful spell checking.
Next Tuesday is the practice day for the World Cup and Wednesday is game day. I will go in for a couple hours on Tuesday to help with the practice, but will be there virtually all day Wednesday for the actual games. There were originally four interns for the 2016 fall semester for the Penguins, but one had to step away so there are now three of us - two of which are Point Park students.
The Czech Republic plays North America at 3:00 and the highlight of the night comes at 7:00 when team Russia and Malkin play team Canada and Sidney Crosby.
