    No. Just three months ago, all the league could say was "we're gonna give this away free." All summer long, that's the way folks assumed it would operate - free. Then, with no further word, it comes out as $150 ($125) a year. That's a slap in the face. If there was any doubt - and I mean any - that they could do if for free, they shouldn't have said free three months ago.

    "We're looking at is more as an investment," Minnesota State athletic director Kevin Buisman said. "I think it will create familiarity and interest for all levels — fans, boosters and alumni — and, equally, exposure to student-athletes and recruits. We need to guide them to a viable platform where they can catch games live or on demand."

      Free? Nothing is free. Whenever I hear the word free I am always leery of when the wheel will fall off.

        We've bought our yearly. I just hope the quality is improved as promised. Sad to see the fox thing not go through, but 125 for a full year isn't bad at all to me.
        MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

        Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...

          Yeah the $125 isn't a bad price at all, but like you, just hoping the quality is improved. Maybe I'll just pay for the first game as a single to see if it really is improved and then by the yearly package if it's good.

            It's $150 after October 1st. So if you like it, the first day will come with a $25 premium.

              Every school has HD cameras now. It's supposed to be better. Octoshape handles HD. We'll see how well, I guess.

                How about you address the subject matter ONCE when you quote me rather than purposely mischaracterizing me or what you incorrectly and might I add stupidly assume are my motivations.

                Also ... NMU is a crappy school in a crappy town in a craphole of a state. No surprise that you and it were ever affiliated in any manner. Now go shine Rick Comely's shoes ... Boy.

                  That's not very nice. It is not a crappy town.

                    The season hasn't even begun and already the trash talk has started.
                    NMU Hockey Since 1976 ...there at the beginning.

                    Bill Crawford, LSSU radio announcer, on NMU hockey: "This is their MO right to the tee: get out shot, get out played, keep hangin' in there, just rope-a-dope it in your own zone, get it up the ice, bang it in and win the game."

                      That's not mere trash talk. For our fellow ex-CCHA fans, uaafanblarg ("Donald Dunlop") goes through periods of such screeds. Naturally, he'll deny that it's an anger issue and claim that he's smarter than everyone else, "very passionate", or somehow "older and wiser", but many respected UAA fans (such as Suze) know he's a raging arse, and so should the rest of the league.

                            cant wait to visit Anchorage. I've heard it's a great city with a lot of great hockey fans.
