The ACHA has partnered with ESPN to broadcast a "Game of the Week" on ESPN's online streaming service WatchESPN this season. Broadcasts are pretty high quality. The first three match-ups have been announced, with future games to be announced in the future. Future games will be chosen based on match-ups, rankings and rivalries. All games will be between ACHA DI teams and will be broadcast fridays at 7 PM. If you miss a game they're available on-demand at WatchESPN. The announced games so far are:
October 14: Lindenwood University @ Iowa State University
October 21: University of Jamestown @ Ohio University
October 28: Niagara University @ University at Buffalo
Liberty University is also broadcasting all their home games (ACHA Men's DI, DII, DIII and Women's DI) on BigSouthSports.com. Again, broadcasts are very high quality. If anyone knows of any other ACHA teams (particularly DI programs) that are streaming their games for free, please post them here.
For those of you who don't know, ACHA DI is very high quality hockey (much more than most people would expect from "club" hockey at least). Top ACHA DI teams can compete with and beat low to mid-level NCAA DII/III teams, and some schools such as Liberty, Ohio University and others regularly draw crowds well into the thousands at their on-campus rinks. If you have a craving for college hockey and you can't find a stream for your own team or don't feel like paying for WCHA, NCHC, Atlantic Hockey TV etc. then the ACHA is well worth it.
