I am back! I finally figured out how to get back into my blog account.

Summer is update time so I will list all the additions that have been made at the site in the very near future.

Happy New Year!

New updates include NHL skeds from 1989-2003 that are not on the NHL Archive site. You can see the revamped NHL section here:
http://skedcentral.50megs.com/nhl/nhl.htm

Posted above is a scan of the new 8 panel Atlanta Thrashers sked with Kovalchuk on the cover. The Hossa sked is exactly like this one. I have yet to see the Lethonen cover but I'm betting its close to this as well. The cover on these 8 panel skeds is lighter (more white). The text above the player's head is much smaller than in the original 4 panel sked with Kovalchuk on the cover.

I am still working on adding NHL skeds from the 94-95 Strike season and the 03-04 season. 03-04 is the year that the NHL Archive apparently stopped actively posting skeds so there are a lot that have to be added.

Lots of random updates to the site.

Claude landry has provided scans and sponsor info on a number of NHL skeds from the current season and the Lockout season. Thanks Claude!

2 new 04-05 NHL sked scans. Philly and Toronto

new 06-07 Buffalo sked (see scan to the left). Claude says this is a 8.5 x 11 sheet. Whether or not that is considered a sked is up to you to decide.

Scans of this years Jacksonville (SPHL) and Texas (ECHL) skeds added.

Happy Holidays y'all!

2006-08-30T15:22:00.000-04:00

Another IHL update. This time some really cool IHL skeds from the 1950's and 1960's have been added.

Thanks once again to Rich for taking the time to send me scans and sponsor information.

August 17th 2006

2006-08-17T13:39:00.000-04:00

Another IHL update is complete. Thanks to Rich there are now IHL League skeds for all of the 1980's IHL seasons. Plus a number of other tough to find cover variations from those 80's teams.

Check them out here:

2006-08-15T07:46:00.000-04:00

Ah, the first NHL sked of 06-07. Hockey is right around the corner.

2006-08-04T08:08:00.000-04:00

IHL update complete. Many thanks to Rich for sending me scans from his and Roger Tate's IHL collections.

With the scans Rich sent there is now at least 1 sked for every team that played in the 70s in the IHL except the 70-71 Fort Wayne Komets.

2006 MLL is now complete. The 2 oddball skeds from Philadelphia and Chicago are up.

No regular skeds are known to exist for either of these teams.

Philly handed out a roughly postcard sized sheet that listed the Barrage's home games only.

More surprising, first year Chicago only has a ticket brochure available. Don't first year teams usually go all out in the marketing department?

Next year in outdoor lacrosse could be very interesting as the NLL tries to launch its own summer league.

2006-06-09T11:59:00.000-04:00

Big time update to the IHL section is complete. A huge thank you to Ed Moores who allowed me to scan in his IHL collection and then went through and gave me the sponsor information for all of the skeds.

The 3 skeds posted here are ones that I don't know what seasons they come from. If any one can tell me the years they are for I would appreciate it. I also need to know the sponsor of the Jack Attack sked.

EDIT: Thanks to Rich, John and Lou these 3 skeds are accounted for and have been added to the IHL section of SkedCentral in the right spots.

04-05 Boston Bruins combo sked from the lockout year
05-06 Atlanta Trashers postcard (pictured)
05-06 Carolina Hurricanes Subway sheet
05-06 Toronto Maple Leafs small radio station sponsored sked

May 8th 2006

2006-05-08T13:39:00.000-04:00

Mini update completed.

A Sting fan was nice enough to send me the late season Arizona Sting sked that's completely different than the one available at the start of the year.
http://skedcentral.50megs.com/nll/nll.htm

Update of the MLS 2006 page with the skeds I've gathered so far. The Sponsor info is incorrect but at least there are some pictures to check against. Dallas has at least 3 different covers. Kansas City has at least 2.
http://skedcentral.50megs.com/mls/mls.htm

Update of the MLL 2006 page with the skeds I've gathered so far. The Sponsor info is incorrect. 5 different Bayhawks skeds this year and not one of them features Gary Gait... gee I wonder why?
http://skedcentral.50megs.com/mll/mll.htm

Some NHL updates soon and a big IHL one as soon as everything is ready.

April 25th 2006

2006-04-25T09:25:00.000-04:00

The Original CHL has been completely updated. My thanks to John Wolak for letting me scan in his amazing collection and providing all the sponsor information.

A smaller update to the NLL section is underway with goodies I picked up at Harrisburg. Sponsor info coming soon.

I have begun scanning in the new MLL and MLS schedules as I get them.

Bits and pieces filled in other spots:
92-93 CHL League
94-95 Tulsa Oilers (new cover)
95-96 OKC Blazers

April 14th 2006

2006-04-14T10:45:00.000-04:00

The WHA update is complete. I have also added some of the oddball NHL schedules I picked up at Harrisburg from the 05-06 season, a 92-93 ECHL league schedule and 2 05-06 AHL tough skeds - the Chicago Wolves card and the Iowa Stars bookmark.

I'm now hard at work on the IHL update. Ed Moores kindly brought his IHL collection to Harrisburg for me to scan in. I'm about halfway through sorting the scans.

2006-04-10T10:28:00.000-04:00

SO MUCH STUFF!!

I scanned in a ton of old skeds at the Harrisburg show. The picture posted here is just a hint of the goodies I'll be adding to SkedCentral soon.

2006-03-15T09:46:00.000-05:00

Another small update.

I have pulled out 2 of the Coors Light WPHL skeds (see posted pic) that I have in my collection and created a seperate section for them. Apparently there was a set of these skeds in the 97-98, 98-99 an 99-00 seasons. The following skeds have been confirmed:

97-98
Shreveport

98-99
Austin

Tupelo

New Mexico

Central Texas
Alexandria - have a scan

99-00
Tupelo - have a scan

Monroe

Arkansas

Many thanks to Lou G. for the info on the skeds missing from my collection. If anyone has other skeds for other teams, please let me know.

I have created pages for the 1970's IHL. No scans, just accurate team info. 1980's IHL pages are next on my list.

This will be my last update until after the Harrisburg meet

March 9th 2006

2006-03-09T08:43:00.000-05:00

Quick update.

All the pages have been created for the original central hockey league section. No scans have been added but each page does have accurate team information.

The MLS section reformat has begun. I hope to have it finished by Friday. If not then, before the first kick of this upcoming season.

I added information to the NHL 2005-2006 sponsor list for Buffalo, LA and San Jose. Many thanks to Terry L. for the email regarding those sponsors.

I'm looking for sked scans from the following leagues:
All American Hockey League 1986-1989
Original Atlantic Coast Hockey League 1981-1987
Original Central Hockey League 1968-1984
Eastern Hockey League 1979-1981
International Hockey League 1945-2001
World Hockey Association 1972-1979

If you collect any of these leagues and can scan in your collections, please let me know. The other alternative if you want to contribute scans would be to bring your collection to the Harrisburg meet. I will be in Harrisburg with my laptop and scanner.

March 3rd 2006

2006-03-03T10:26:00.000-05:00

One more mystery sked. This one is a Baltimore Clippers card. Trying to figure out what year and league it is from.

Big time link update is complete.

I have split the hockey league list into current leagues and defunct leagues. The list of defunct leagues now has its own page.

New leagues now listed in the defunct hockey leagues section:
All American Hockey League
the Original Atlantic Coast Hockey League
the 1968-1984 Central Hockey League
Eastern Hockey League
World Hockey Association

I don't have many scans from these leagues but there are a few up. I will be adding more as I get them. If you collect these leagues and are going to be at the Harrisburg Sked Meet, I will be at the meet with my scanner.

I am still working on creating pages for the 1968-1984 Central Hockey League section. I have no scans from 1968-1976, 80-81, 82-84. So I didn't originally make pages for them. I am going back now to create them with accurate team information. So if you see a page error, don't panic.

The IHL section has been reformatted. Most of the seasons from the 70's and 80's have no page created yet. I will leave these blank until after Harrisburg because by then I should have tons of scans to add.

March 2nd 2006

2006-03-02T08:34:00.000-05:00

1 big add today is the corrected 2006 Toronto Rock schedule. The previous version of this card had all of the 2006 game dates, times and opponents but said it was the 2005 schedule.

I also found my Canucks postcard from this NHL season, so that will be added as well.

My first SkedCentral Update

2006-03-01T14:56:00.000-05:00

I have set this blog up to let folks know what updates I have made to the SkedCentral website.

If anyone can help me figure out what WHA season this Birmingham sked comes from, I'd be very grateful.

EDIT - Figured it out. It's from the 77-78 season of the WHA. Thanks,
John.

3-1-06
The NHL Section has been created and is ready to view. I am still missing lots of things from the lockout and current NHL season but a lot of stuff is up.

I am working on a WHA section and a CHL (the original CHL, not the current league) section. I had a group of scans from 2 Harrisburg shows ago. I just hadn't had time to start working on them until now. Lots of gaps there. I hope to do a bunch of scanning at Harrisburg this year.

I have begun the IHL section update. I will try to get the 89-90 through 2000-2001 seasons reformated and at least create pages for all the seasons previous to 89-90. IHL scanning will be done in earnest at Harrisburg.

That's it for now. More info as I work.
