IN-GAME NOTES

–5:58 p.m. PT: Warmups are under way!

–5:32 p.m. PT: Start time has been pushed back to 6:30, which means warmups around 6. For now, the rain has subsided.

–5:21 p.m. PT: Just watched the Zambonis exit the ice and proceed to dump out all the water they had at Bakersfield College’s Memorial Stadium’s 15-yard-line. Not great. Believe we should be getting an update soon as warmups are “scheduled” to start momentarily.

–5:15 p.m. PT: It’s raining. Pouring really. Two Zambonis on the ice just sucking up water, trying to keep the ice in playable shape. Kudos to them. Conversations up in the press box are about how last year’s Bakersfield-Stockton outdoor game was postponed due to rain.
