Two Minnesota “hockey dads” completed a record-length pass of a hockey puck on Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis in November that will be recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, they say. Zach Lamppa and former NHL player Tom Chorske completed a pass of 904 feet, 3 inches on Nov. 20, 2018, breaking the record of 894 feet. A YouTube video of the pass led to an interview of the men on the NHL Network. Lamppa, from Detroit Lakes, said they attempted to set a new record to prove that anyone is capable of doing great things. “I’ve always wondered how far I could actually pass the puck in perfect conditions,” said Lamppa. “We did this to inspire people. You never know what’s possible until you try.” They broke the record on their first official attempt, with Lamppa sending the puck over 300 yards to Chorske. “The people at Guinness make the terms,” said Lamppa. “We had to have regulation equipment, a survey crew, and … [Read more...] about Watch: 2 MN ‘hockey dads’ (1 with a Stanley Cup ring) set Guinness world record for longest hockey pass

Access to the mainland ice caves remain CLOSED. Ice continues to move around quite a bit. Over the last few days, open water has been visible from Meyers Beach as well as near Eagle Island. This ice is typically poor quality ice, which reacts poorly to movement due to weak bonding along the fractures.

Science Museum’s Omnifest to screen 5 films; Common Good Books is for sale
At the moment, the Science Museum of Minnesota’s Omnitheater is the only movie theater in the state running large-format film on a daily basis. It’s one of the few remaining theaters in the world where film arrives in canisters the size of tractor wheels. That era is ending. And the Science Museum is giving it a grand farewell. For the 20th birthday of Omnifest, its popular annual salute to giant-screen films, the museum will screen five films it had a hand in producing. (It’s the largest museum producer of giant-screen films.) And all five will be actual films. Later this year, the theater will convert from a giant-screen film projection system to a digital laser-projection system. When the conversion is complete, the Omnitheater will become one of the first IMAX Laser Dome theaters in the world. The very first opened in San Jose, California, just two months ago, in November 2018. The new system will deliver better contrast, brightness, clarity and color. And it will … [Read more...] about Science Museum’s Omnifest to screen 5 films; Common Good Books is for sale
