That was the last regular season game but there was playoffs after that. I actually went to the last game And it was like in the 90s outside.There was a fog over the ice the whole game. Good times
Pretty cool that it’s at least the practice facility of the Bears. Better than having it imploded. But yeah, it brings back great memories when Christian Matte, Serge Aubin, J.F. Labbe, Marc Denis, Phillip Sauve and David Aebischer and Mike McHugh etc played in here back when the Hershey Bears were known as the Baby Avs.
It's also used for Is Lebanon Valley College's hockey program and an US Premier Hockey League team called the Hershey Cubs and hosts hockey tournaments and public skating.
I was at that game. The "FAREWELL OLD BARN" sign was mine. ABC27 actually interviewed me, but I guess it didn't make the cut :( Sure do miss watching the Bears play there. Great memories. They should still play a game or two there a year for old times sake.
@@JustMyClassics it depends on weather or not the cubs decide to be awake for the game but for the most part they’re pretty good Edit: also my family’s on their “billet list” (player housing) so we get two free tickets to their home games
Petty good quality but the Cubs did struggle quite a bit last year. Might have just been the games I went to but it looked like more fights or scuffles than the Bears. But hey it's a $10 ticket to see a game in a very historic building. But the atmosphere isn't anything like a Bears game.
Love the vid, but technically, this game wasn't the last at the old barn. The last game took place on May 3rd in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Bears lost to the Houston Aeros, 7-1. Houston ended up sweeping Hershey that year.
I enjoy every trip to Hersheypark Arena but never knew it as the Bears home as I didn't start watching hockey until 2008. I'll never forget all the times I saw Disney on Ice from way above when I was a kid. I'm sure a lot of people have fond memories of other events.
No matter what team you like, if you don't admire the passion Joel has for everything he touches, you just don't know what respect really means, this guy is all heart...love him!!!!
hey you there person with the mind of your own? oh ya you make the right decisions. will your decision making lead you to check my channel out? and end up actually liking the music within? oh baby its great shit
Of anyone notices, Holtby does that after big shootout wins. He did it when he beat the Lightning in a shootout. They seemed to just skate off the ice afterwards.
First there was the cry baby Crosby incident for Pittsburgh in the '09 playoffs, now this.... I didn't realize that the penguin is symbolic for hissy fits... Grow up, guys...
