More first place votes coming Union's way with another win tonight and Minn's bad loss to OSU yesterday.

Go U!

The ECAC should get their act together. The idea should be to provide as much exposure as possible for the league championship. Not everyone can make it to Lake Placid (sadly), but the only way I could follow the game last night was a radio stream and a blog. No video stream unless you had an obscure sports network from you cable provider and the cable provider was signed up with Fox College network to allow it. After reading all week on the ECAC web site that the game would be streamed via America One, we find out this isn't true at the last minuet. I'm all for having the FF at LP but let fans who can't make the trip watch it online or on TV via a network that maybe more than 3% of the people can get. Pretty bush league if you ask me. Oh, and go 'Gate

You are getting exposure in Minnesota. Via Fox Sports Atlantic. The games were on last night and replays again late and this morning. The schedule shows tonight's game and replays Sunday evening and again Tuesday morning.
Here is the schedule going forward...

Good luck to both teams tonight. SCSU played Colgate early and Union around mid-season and displayed great hockey.

I'm with Bennycheck. After looking forward to seeing the game on-line all week I was bitterly disappointed that it was never broadcast. You would think the ECAC could do better than to hide this tournament in LP and then not see fit to go with media who can reach homes not tuned to never-heard-of cable networks. I mean this is their showpiece...come on! Not all of us can make the trek to LP. Exposure in Minny does me no good.

The fact that the internet feed didn't work yesterday certainly is in no fault to the league and without question not a fault of Lake Placid. These sort of things can happen anywhere. I purchased three different games this season through America One, paid my fee and the feed didn't work. Things happen, who knows why the feed didn't work, but hopefully they get it together for tonight's game for those that can't make it in person. For those of you who will be there in person, enjoy yourself as it is a wonderful site for hockey!

They announced that the games were supposed to be on America One right? Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe something went wrong? I doubt the ECAC just said "Ohhh forget the feed, they don't need it" ... Obviously there some error somewhere, that can happen anywhere, not just Lake Placid.

Can I come over to your place tonight and watch it? My point was that most people don't have access to Fox College Sports Network and a lot of fans (me included) would have happily paid to watch it online. We were told via the ECAC web site that we could, only to have the rug pulled out from under us at the last minuet. I love Lake Placid and hope they have the tournament there for many years to come, but if they want to spark and keep interest in the championship weekend they need much more exposure going forward. As I said, I'd guess about 3 to 5% have access to FCSN and if you don't, there is no way to watch the games. By the way, how's the weather in Minnesota. Do you have any brown liquid on hand? What time is good for you (ha ha).

It was listed all week on AO and disappeared yesterday. There was a post that said Fox had all rights to the games and the only way to stream it was if you had Fox College Network. It must be true, it was on the internet! I'll try to buy the game again tonight on AO but I'm not to sure that's going to happen. Hopefully next year the league can come up with a better plan for coverage.

Tonight's game is broadcast on America One for those of you who are willing to pay for the video :)

Link to AmericaOne stream for tonight.. don't know what happened last night, probably a tech glitch.

..or if you really want Minnesota weather and brown liquids, you can drive to LP :D!

Fittingly, the two hottest teams in the conference are squaring off for all the marbles. Something's gotta give tonight: either Union will 3-peat or Colgate will win the ECAC Championship for the first time since 1990.

Should be a great game!
 
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat? (Part II)

Here in the Albany area I watched the game last night on Time Warner channel 372, Fox College Sports Atlantic. You need to be a TW digital subscriber and pay for the Sports Pass which is $8.99/month. I'm not sure you could subscribe to it at this late time but you could try, go to the channel and it shows a # to call 1-866-321-2225. You could cancel after the game if you wanted. Let's GO U!

Sometimes, TWCS will simulcast a game, although given this weekend in the NYSPHSAA basketball championships, I highly doubt they will.

This weekend is the Federation Tournament. Are you sure TWCS broadcasts that? I thought they only broadcast the State Championships which were last weekend.

Congrats once AGAIN to Union! Clearly the class of the league these days.

It's classy for coaches to punch student athletes? Of course coming from someone who supports a team that intentionally injuries student athletes in order to advance in playoff series, I'm not surprised.
 
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat? (Part II)

Great win. U should be #1 overall going into the tourney!
