Sideline? More like the front line.
Being the sideline reporter for a professional hockey team (or as some of the young, French-Canadian rookies who don't know my name call me: "interview girl") might seem like a pretty neat job - especially for an intern.
However when the pressure is on for the players (like now, during the playoffs) trekking onto the ice in my patent leather heels can be like walking straight into a war zone.

My very first byline and coincidentally, screw up.
Full disclosure:
My sophomore year of college, I was working in my first real newsroom at the Fort Myers News-Press.
I had been shooting a video 2-3 minute highlight videos of high school football games - easy stuff. One day the sports editor, Ed, called me with a new challenge: Taking stats for a football game.
A few things to consider:

A few things to consider:
- I knew nothing about football (still don't).
- I had never covered sports before.
- I had only written one article ever. And it was a 300-word play preview.
Why did I accept? Well, because I have a serious problem with saying no.

My first fan: NHL/Olympic goalie Olaf Kolzig
In the grand scheme of all things broadcast, my job doing the on-ice interviews during intermissions of ECHL hockey games is one of the least im
portant. I have one minute of air-time twice per game and maybe an extra minute if one of the stars of the game is an Everblade.
Did I mention my boss' advice? "Be brief. Fans want to hear players, not you."
You can imagine my shock when the first time I was "recognized" in public as the on-ice reporter for the team was by NHL goalie and ECHL hall of famer Olaf Kolzig.
