4-8-24 LIVE HIT (6 P.M.): Team USA talks preparation for Canada in group stage at 2024 IIHF Women’s World Championship

Live hit during NEWSChannel 2 at 6:00 on April 8, 2024 at the Adirondack Bank Center in Utica, ahead of Team USA’s final preliminary round contest against rival Canada. The game was a highly-anticipated rematch of the 2023 golf medal game at the IIHF Women’s World Championship.

It was a battle of cosmic proportions on the day of the total solar eclipse in North America! All elements of the segment were gathered, written, edited, shot, and produced by me.
