0:30 There were hundreds of people in attendance, each of them eager to see if the Toronto Patriots could repeat as OGHL champions. After just two periods of play with Toronto, leading three nothing against Kingston, it was getting clear that they were the favourites to do it all again. Then there was four. Then there were five. Finally there were six. Time was ticking down and Toronto was ready to bring a hockey championship back to the city. So it was played by play man Jamie Neugebauer, 0:58 And for the second year in a row the Toronto patriots, back to back champions here in 2015. 1:10 A staple of the junior hockey since getting his first job in the league in 2011, with his voice being lent to hundreds of live broadcasts for live streaming service Hockey TV over the past few years. 1:20 The goalie kicked off the net as the goal was going in. That is an absolutely outrageous call! Hope someone from the league is watching that. 1:34 Hockey was always his biggest passion. Like many Canadian kids, he dreamed of playing in the NHL, specifically for his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs. But also like other Canadian kids, the dream died early. Jamie mainly played ball hockey and took part is some other hockey camps. playing the game was never really in the cards for the energetic commentator. 1:52 Matthew Cairns, you can really skate here is Cairn's going live. And they score. Welcome to the Patriots! 2:06 Before getting involved in commentary, Jamie wrote for a couple of small blogs before eventually contributing articles to sports net, among others. Jamie got his first job in hockey, the OHL's Kitchener Rangers, acting as a staff writer for the 2007-2008 season. A former sports journalism student at Centennial College, Jamie was brought on to volunteer for former OJHL the Vaughn Vipers by former head coach and general managers, Jason forte. A guy he'd become great friends with later on. Once the team folded in 2012, Jamie joined the North York Rangers the team he'd stay with until they were eliminated by the Oakville Blades during the 2017 OJHL playoffs. Jamie's love of the OJHL was clear from the beginning. He wants to be involved in as many ways as possible. In the following five years, Jamie would go on to work for the Toronto Patriots who won two titles of them on the mic, the Newmarket Hurricanes, the Oakville Blades the last team who would go on to commentate. 2:58 That one is a forward pass given away to Robert Ward, probably the wrong guy to give it to here's the breakaway. Ward shoots, scores! 3:04 Steve Mitchell a camera operator in the OJHL has known Jamie ever since he started in the league. 3:09 I've known Jamie about six years now I was with him from day one when he called his first ever OJHL game inVaughn. The very first outing was a little bit shaky, he improved as the season went on, and I really consider him to be the top announcer in the OJ. 3:27 But after spending the last six years of his life calling Junior A hockey games, Jamie's time in the OJHL is coming to an end. Jimmy recently got engaged to his fiance earlier in the hockey season. With that he had a major change. He decided to move to Regina for the upcoming year, leaving behind a legacy that has gone unmatched for any announcer to ever grace the league. His love for the game is something that is evident through his work covering four teems this past season, there is no doubt that Nugee, as he's called, is an extremely busy man. He had many memorable moments during your time in the league, but his first game provide a highlight he laughs about to this day. 3:59 My first ever game, absolutely exhausted and went to triple overtime. Crazy game I was absolutely dead tired, no professionalism. And in the third overtime there was a stop play where a Queen's University player physically like on purpose just body check a referee from behind and and basically just kind of destroyed her. Being exhausted and having no experience, I started laughing because I thought it was kind of funny. Didn't want to get hurt and obviously only the referee did but the funny thing about that situation was there was all these reviews obviously with the Ontario University athletics board and university about suspending that Queen's player and the broadcast included me laughing about the situation. 4:43 Jamie has left a big impact in the league and the people he worked with. He appointed Jake Howard is color commentator in Oakville to be his replacement in North York for the upcoming campaign. Jake loved his enthusiasm for hockey and had no complaints about working with them. 4:57 No, I'm not going into a big thing about how nuts he goes, showing you his true passion and love that he has for this hockey. For this game in general and the Oakville Blades especially. He just has a passion that you can find every day. 5:11 Jamie will remain a commentator in the near future working with the University of Regina Rams starting next season. But for the thousands of people who have listened to him over the past few years, there's unlikely that we'll find anyone so enthusiastic to bring fans junior hockey in Ontario. For the hockey house, I'm Stephen Ellis. 5:30 He shoots, he scores. Mathew Wittaker wins it in double overtime. And the Rangers take this one from behind! It's a four to three win.
