Wed, June 16 04 "Moose's on location in Hawaii Arena 2 report!" 

Hawai'ian Islanders v. Central Valley Coyotes @ Neal Blaisdell Centre Arena, 6:30 p.m., HST, Saturday June 12th, 2004 By: Rich "Moose" Salzer

Last Saturday Night I had the best time I've yet had covering the Arena 2 League, since it started in 2000. I was given a Media Credential and Pass for the Islanders Business Pavilion of Blaisdell Arena for Islanders v. Central Valley game. The food was very Ono and the atmosphere Ohana as I met many of the great folkes who make the Hawai'ian Islanders and their sponsorship possible. Many exchanged business cards with me I feel many lasting connections were made. The theme for the evening was "You've got to KIDing" as the kekei were treated to great party with games, prizes, et, al. As far as the rest of the Arena2 teams I visited none are quite as good at putting on a party like the Islanders. 

There was a
Hula show with young ladies from a local school and music. The game started promptly at 6: 30 p.m., HST and the Islanders wasted no time in scoring following a great kick return by Anthony Arceneaux. It meant a lot since the Islanders had hit an unexpected dry spell lately, dropping two games in a row and dropping to second place in the National Conference West Division. The Islanders and dropped to 8th in the Af2 Coaches Power Poll before this game also. In the first quarter both teams started a little tight before settling into their basic Offences. Hawai'i is know for it's running game, but the 1-8 Central Valley Coyotes hug with them, trailing only 7-6 after one surprisingly low scoring first quarter. In the second quarter, QB Darnell Arceneaux, Anthony's brother caught fire and hit strike after strike to Anthony until the Coyotes Defence finally shut them down somewhat. 

The Islanders were without such quality players as FB/LBs Kekei Misipeka, who
I knew from the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos, who won the Grey Cup last Nov., Fabrian Manumaleuna, OL/ DL Mose Tuia, the League's only player from New Zealand and DS Eddie Klaneski, who 'is out for the remainder of the season with knee surgery. So Central Valley hung in there, down only 33-27 at the half. Anthony Arceneaux had 3 TDs, two on receptions and one kickoff return. The Islanders really came out fired up in the third quarter scoring 21 of the next 24 points. Central Valley switched Defencive coverages in the third quarter to blanket Anthony Arceneaux but it backfired as Darnell Arceneaux continued to find Nian Taylor and Robert Kemfort open. Even TE/DE Joe Correa caught a three yard pass in the third. In the second half Hawai'i's Defence came alive too, intercepting three passes and taking two back for TDs. Kemfort, Josh Robinson and Desmond Maul each had one pickoff. 

Hawai'i outscored Central Valley 37-15 in the second half, finishing the
night with my buddy from the University of Hawai'i, Shawn Withy-Allen scoring his first Pro rushing TD. After the game Withy and all the Islansders signed autographs for 30 minutes as is the Arena Football custom since the League first started in 1987. Much Mahalo to all those who made the night possible for this travelin' Virginia-canadian, Kama'aina! I was treated like an Ali'i. Mahalo to Thomas Yoshida, Tau Harrington, Alema Harrington, Kimberly Dey, Chris Dey, and especially to Kekei Misipeka, who gave me a ride back to the stree my hotel is at in Waikiki. I will cal to get Media / Business passes again this week. With the Islanders, you're always in the game. 

In the Hawai'i Football League this past weekend:
Kona Razorbacks 29, Hilo Storm 6

Kaua'i Cowboys 8, Pacific Irondogs 6
Arena Football League Semi-Finals:
Arizona 45, Colorado 41
San Jose 49, Chicago 35

Tues, June 8 04 "Moose's Massive Arena report! This weeks playoff picks!" Myk Aussie

Speaking of NHL / Skating related events, you may have missed hearing about this one. The best U.S. figure skater of all time, Kristi Yamaguchi (Mrs. Bruce Hedican, of my beloved Carolina Hurricanes) did the opening coin toss at the Af2 Hawai'i Islanders game Sat. a week ago. It didn't help the Islanders as QBs Kane Claunch and Kevin Feterik lit the Islanders up for 10 TDs in the highest scoring game in Af2 history, San Diego 91, Hawai'i 77. The Islanders lost by a touchdown this past week- end, too, 52-44 to Bakersfield. They still are tied for first in the National Conference West at 5-3, with Bakersfield. They get their good luck charm back in town as the 'ole Moose, yours truely makes his way to the Aloha State for two weeks of fun and frolic to hit 5, 6 or maybe seven Islands. 

Af2's other results:Florida 46, Macon 29
 
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 57, Manchester (N.H.) 41

Tulsa 62, Wichita 49
San Diego 45, Central Valley (Ca.) 24

In the Arena League playoffs this weekend: San Jose got by a stubborn Defending Champ Tamps Bay Storm team, 56-52. Jay Gruden can drive from Orlando down to Tampa now to help his older brother John Coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2003 Super Bowl Champs) since his beloved Orlando Predators got beat 52-42 in Chicago by the hard-charging Rush. And Colorado did away with New Orleans, 45-42. On NBC Sunday, Arizona, who's been blown out in the last two Arena Bowls, got by L.A. by two TDs. Here's my analysis and picks for the Semi-Finals Arena playoffs: Arizona (2-2 in four Arena Bowls) - Lead by ancient players like QB Shredrick Bonner, WR/KR/DB-LB Hunkie Cooper, OL/DL Mark Tucker (the original 'American Gladiator'), and injured WR/LB Randy Gatewood, they've won their last nine games. This could be the last run for the Rattlers in a long while since the team, a model of consistency in the league, is up for sale and it's doubtful COach Danny White will be back. 

I say
he ends up in Dallas and Will McClay ends up in Arizona, unless White and G.M. Gene Nudo can buy the team. Wayne Gretzky is interested in acquiring them. The reason why I'd love to see these guys go down to Colorado is because I know they will get blown out in the Arena Bowl and I don't want to see these guys go out the way Marv Levy's Buffalo Bills did. OL/DL Jon Morris & TE/DE William Gaines have had career years. Both, along with Bonner are one time Arizona Cardinals (I think they probably could take the Cardinals, too!). Kicker Nelson Garner is from here in Virginia at James Madison University, too. I like these guys but they don't match up well at all v. the other three remaining teams in the race. Take the... Colorado Crush (Denver 1-0 in Arena Bowl I) - John Dutton is the only QB in the Arena playoffs to be undefeated in Arena Bowls, going 1-0 with San Jose, while starter Mark Grieb was out with a broken clavicle (collar bone to you and me) in '02, suffered in game 13, after San Jose had been 12-0. 

Don't worry, in case you don't
remember: San Jose BROKE ALL of the Rattlers, 52-14 in Arena Bowl XVI that year. In Colorado, Big John Elway, the greatest QB in the history of Pro Football and primary Co-owner, has put together a monster. FB/LBs John Peaua, a former Rattler and Rich Young (a former XFL standout) are pure dynamite in the backfield and ex-Calgary Stampeder Willis Marshall has had a fine year, punctuated with last weeks Offencive player-of-the-week selection. Ex-Toronto Phantom Damien Harrell is now the best OS in the league. At 6'3" 200 lbs. he's a tough match up for the aging Rattler secondary. But making this deal even tougher is that the Rattlers are banged up and Colorado is the fastest team in the league. 

They had the second best rushing attack to...
Chicago (0-1 in Arena Bowls as the Chicago Bruisers in '88) - With ex-Rattler / ex-Sabercat Bobby McMillien, the second rusher in Arena Football history, with two Arena Bowl rings to his credit (Arz.'97 & S.J. '02), FB/LB Jamie McGourty and ex-Hamilton ('97) reserve pivot, Ray Philyaw, a priority free agent acquisition in the off season, the Rush (synonymous with their nickname) the best Rushing Team in Arena history. OL/DL James Baron has slipped a bit (he's penalty-prone now) playing alongside Riley Kleinhesselink and John Moyer give the Rush blocking and pass rushing a-plenty. Baron, a TE/NG, has lost two Arena Bowls with Nashville ('00 & '01) and would like nothing better than to at least get one. Philyaw has exceeded everyone's expectations (sort of like Marcus Crandell when Calgary won the Grey Cup in '01). 

This will be lifer-Coach (& former Pro QB) Mike Hohensee's
teams best chance to win the Arena Bowl. They've got the rest of the league on the run, which brings us to. San Jose (1-0 in Arena Bowls) - While QB John Dutton got San Jose the Arena Bowl with his M.V.P performance in '02, Mark Grieb had to play the good soldier / Trent Green role. See if you can follow me here; Trent Green, former third San Diego QB ('94 Super Bowl season team) gets hurt for the Saint Louis Rams by FORMER San Diego teammate Rodney Harrison in a preseason '99 game; enter former Arena Bowl QB Kurt Warner - Rams win the Super Bowl. Warner's backup - ex-Ariz. Arena Bowl winning QB, Paul Justin. Justin's backup; current Ariz. No.2, Joe Germaine. Still with me? Mark Grieb wants this Arena Bowl himself. This year. San Jose's clock is ticking, too. But not as much as Arizona. Barry Wagner, Joe Jacobs, Shalon Baker, a former Edmonton Eskimo rookie of the year, Keala Keana'aina (from the Big Island-Hawai'i), Sam Hernanadez (Arena League Reggie White, alltime sack leader), et, al are headed for the Arena Hall-of-Fame, Des Moines, IA, in a few years. This team is probably the best coached in the league. Darren Arbet, Terry Malley and Michael Church are the best 1-2-3 puch in the league as H.Coach, Offencive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator. Can they withstand Chicago's RUSH?! Stay tuned, folkes!

Tues, June 1 04 "Arena Football Massive Report and results!" Moose

By: Scott Baxter & Rich Salzer

OL/DL Jeremy Staat has left the Los Angeles Avengers for the rest of the 2004 season {this was before game 16 on Sun. on NBC - R.A.S}. Staat, from Arizona State, was a teammate of the late Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan one month ago. Staat is mentally exhausted and stillnot over the death of his good friend Tillman. It has not been announced whether Staat will return next season. The Avengers could have used the talented OL/DL/ST'r Sunday, as his Avengers fell 52-50 to Orlando, who has won 7 out of their last eight games. And what a great game it was! New Orlando Kicker Jason Wells, who spent much of the last two seasons with the Dallas Desperados, was signed at 8: A.M. Sun. morning to replace injured regular kicker, Jay Taylor, who will be on the playoff roster. Rookie Orlando QB (who does have some NFL / NFL E experience) has been outstanding for the Predators the last 7 weeks since returning from injury. WR/LB/KR Cory Fleming, who got a Super Bowl ring from the Dallas Cowboys in Jan. '96, along with Oronde Gadsden, a former NFL / Ar.FL standout, was had a career year for the Preds with 127 catches. And FB/Mac LB Rupert Grant has an unbelievable 9.5 sacks from behind the 'D'line at his position. An alltime

Arena Football record. The Arena Football League this year had better ratings on T.V. than boxing (a dumb so-called sport in my opinion!), the NHL and golf (I guess 'Tiger-mania is over, eh?) and the Arena League topped 1.9 million fans thought the turnstiles and there was a great article on the Arena Football League in ESPN the magazine (not one of my favorites anyway) last week. ESPN should take police that they first promoted the League when it started in 1987 Commissioner C. David Baker said more Arena expansion is on the way: Saint Louis, Washington D.C., Jacksonville, Boston (the Flutie Bros. team, eh?) and Miami in the next two years. Also no word from the biggest Commish in Pro Sports history yet on the proposed NAIFL in the great white North. 

Those boys have
been in touch with both Myk and I about adverting on MykWebT.V. with nothing final yet. And, before I forget again, Los Angeles Avengers Defencive Coordinator was our H. Coach at the Univ. of Hawai'i when I was there in '80-'82! Remember Kids, I will be in the 50th state from June 11th-June 21st for two Hawai'i Islander's games, and I'll say hello to future CFL standout (I hope!) Hawai'i QB Shawn Withy-Allen, so I'll try to send some of you post cards "from the edge", so-to-speak. I e-mailed Mr. Thomas Yoshida for Media Credentials and I hope to hook up with my old radio buddies, Super Bowl Wayne LaVelle and Randy Miyamoto. Aloha and Mahalo!

Arena Football Update The Arena Pro Football League's attendance rose again for the sixth consecutive season.
