A Visit to the Allen Americans Video Archives - Guaranteed to Make You Smile

 

I thought today would be a good day to have some fun with the blog by looking back into the video archives and find a few of the favorites that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Just sit back and enjoy the personalities of players from the past and the creativity of the game operations staff. Whether you have watched these videos a bunch of times or never seen them they will make you smile.

- By far the most viewed of the lip sync videos was the Garrett Klotz's "Wrecking Ball"

- Klotz also did this video to Wrecking Ball. Tom Manning from game ops was playing the Denver player and produced this video. He told Klotz to make the hit "real" which was a mistake if you know Garrett Klotz. He destroyed Manning.

- Darryl Bootland and Jamie Schaafsma - Hashtags

- The famous Martinson vs McCelland flex-off during game two of the 2013 CHL finals against Wichita on the way to Allen winning their first championship.
