ESPNU's Hockey Coverage

Re: ESPNU's Hockey Coverage

The lacrosse games also have corporate sponsers. So that may have something to do with why that is getting more play. So it's not just the lacrosse game of the week it's the Nike lacrosse game of the week (don't think it's Nike but I don't know who it is). If the NCAA could get a corporate sponser for hockey, it would be an easier sell to ESPN to get the games on.
 
Re: ESPNU's Hockey Coverage

The only ECAC game I remember was Dartmouth-Harvard in January. My "research" shows ESPNU with four more games on top of that.

And no, the B2 networks had the ECAC opening rounds while the NHL Network had the championship, and except for the latter maybe going the wrong direction, I don't see that changing.

And while I may be biased as a "competing" entity, but I didn't think the regular season ESPNU broadcasts were the greatest- the problem being they haven't seen the players on a regular basis.

Thanks, that's what i was looking for.
