My Kent Hockey Schedule Hunt Begins
So my buddy mentions this Kent hockey game tonight. Problem is, I have zero clue when it actually starts. Figured I’d find it quick online. Spoiler alert: took longer than expected!
Starting Simple (And Failing)
My first thought? Just google it. Pulled out my phone, opened the browser, and typed in “Kent hockey schedule tonight”. Hit search. What do I get? A whole lotta nothing useful. Seriously. It showed me old season schedules from like three years ago, some ticket resale sites asking crazy prices, and news articles about random hockey games nowhere near Kent. Annoying. Tried bashing some words together like “Kent ice hockey game times now”. Same junk. Felt like I was digging through digital trash.
Wandering Down the Wrong Path
Getting frustrated now. Searched for “Kent State University Athletics”. Scrolled and scrolled, eyes starting to glaze over. Found the main athletics site. Okay! Clicked “Sports” at the top, picked hockey. Landed on a page showing stats, rosters, cool action shots… but where are the dang game times? Saw a link for “News” – thought maybe a schedule update? Nope, just stories about player achievements. Felt like the schedule was playing hide and seek.
The Lightbulb Moment (Finally!)
Took a breath. Thought, “Where do they have to put this stuff?” Then it hit me: probably right on the hockey team’s own page. Went back. Instead of clicking “News” or “Roster”, I looked for something screaming “Schedule”. Found it! It was tucked right there, kinda plain-looking. Clicked “Schedule” and boom! Finally got a list of all the upcoming Kent hockey games. Dates, times, opponents, even locations (home/away). Found tonight’s game time easily once I spotted it. Should’ve started here! Lesson learned.
Other Tricks That Worked (Later)
After finding the schedule the right way, I tested other ideas that actually worked:
- Used the team name: Searched “Kent State Golden Flashes Hockey Schedule”. Way better! The official schedule popped up fast.
- Checked their Social: I glanced at their official social media feed. Saw a post from yesterday shouting “Game tomorrow! Doors open at 7 PM!”. Useful confirmation!
- Thought about Sports Apps: You know those popular sports apps everyone uses? Opened mine, found “NCAA Hockey”, searched for Kent State. Boom. Schedules and game times right there.
The Takeaway – Keep It Simple!
Honestly, the simplest path is always best. Skip the vague searches. Go straight to the source:
- Find the official team or athletics website.
- Look for the big, obvious “Schedule” link.
- Scan for the game date.
If that fails for some reason, be super specific with your search terms (“Kent State Hockey Schedule 2024”) or just check their social media for fresh announcements. Don’t waste time like I did trying random stuff! Heading to the game now – made it on time.
