BetweenThePipes00 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 When my son heard Dan Dunleavy's "Eichel Tower" call after the winning goal in Ottawa, he got all excited and said "We should build an Eichel Tower!" (He's 7.) So we did. Out of pucks. And it has its own twitter account. Trying to have some fun with it and show him how social media works ... give it a follow if you want ... https://twitter.com/EichelTower615 (Sorry if anyone feels this is spam of some sort, not trying to get anything out of this other than some fun for him.)

Eleven Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I can tell this is spam. You're obviously on a cash grab here. Seriously, this looks like a really fun thing for a dad and a 7 year old to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 hah! I just followed you earlier today. This is really neat. Reminds me of the "Population of Pominville" thing from a bunch of years ago. Is this going to be a career long tower? How much money are you investing in pucks?

K-9 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 My favorite kind of shameless self-promotion! Your son is a lucky boy and vice-versa. I look forward to that tower toppling over from too much weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then down on ISIS to destroy them under the weight of God knows how much rubber? That's cool BTP. I have someone who's about to follow you!

BetweenThePipes00 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 hah! I just followed you earlier today. This is really neat. Reminds me of the "Population of Pominville" thing from a bunch of years ago. Is this going to be a career long tower? How much money are you investing in pucks? Right now I am thinking we will have a new tower for each season ... but who knows. At first we were just using pucks we had around but I got a box of practice pucks for like $1 each ... if we do decide to make it a career-long thing, it will add up ... This will be next level when I can click on each puck to see a vine of that goal. That would be sweet .... would also mean probably having a website and more time than I can invest at the moment haha Thanks for all the support!

TM8-PL16 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Nice shout out from Dunleavy today. Oh man your kid must be over the moon. If Rick had spoken to me when I was a kid... Glad you noticed it too!!! That was clearly a shout out! pretty cool... BTP is my brother and he said they gained like 50 new followers today, HAHA! He also said there is a thread about it on Reddit and some guy from Czech Republic tweeted about it, LOL! it's nuts how it's getting around, but super cool!

BetweenThePipes00 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Wasn't it Dunleavy's call that inspired BtP's tower with his kid? It absolutely was his call that inspired it, and he has been great on Twitter about it. Never thought he would actually use "add a puck" in a goal call, though. PA, my son is indeed loving it. When we were kids the best we could hope for was Ted Darling mentioning our town when a puck went over the glass ... "There's a souvenier for a young fan from Kenmore, New York!" For years I thought he literally knew where everyone was from! My wife is in disbelief ... As of now more than 100 new followers since the goal today. Crazy. Thanks to everyone for the support!
