I doubt you will have any tv/online coverage, just likely radio only.

Same corner, but it's angled out torward the rink, instead of just facing west.

Tiger Alum.... idle thought but maybe, just maybe the Big Ten streaming might carry a student production of the games. It would cost but you might be able to watch.
an a side: When RIT was in the FF in Detroit I met some of the students and fans and those folks were the nicest group I've ever interacted with. Nice people! hurry back.

Doubtful on video.
There should be a link for Michigan's radio coverage as well as a gametracker link on www.mgoblue.com/icehockey
Doubtful on video.

Before ponying up any cash you should confirm if they will be streaming the games. The phone number for the athletic ticket office is 734.769.0247. They may not know but should be able to point you in the right direction.

All
Just got off the phone with the ticket department- I was not getting the e-mails for season ticket holders, and they were pretty mistified about it- to the point of calling me and trying to get it re-going. So if you are not getting info, shoot them a note.
Funny thing is- it was particularly mystifying because the e-mail I use is @umich.edu.... which is the same as the ticket office. they were seeing that the e-mails were not getting through. Odd.
Anyway, they were very helpful, so I encourage you to make sure UM communications are working properly- they will help.

The broadcast schedule has been released:
http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-hockey/spec-rel/100112aaa.html
Since neither of the RIT games are listed I doubt there will be any video stream. The mgoblue.com website has an audio (radio broadcast) stream and "Gameday" with play-by-play, stats, etc. I have had some problems in the past with the stream. The WTKA.com (official radio station) website has a more reliable stream. Click on the "Listen Live" button and a pop up will start to actually listen.

Last night was my first chance to see the new Yost for the first time and it seems to be all it was purported to be. Much brighter on the ice. The metal stands will make for the sound of foot stomping very loud. The sound system also seems much improved, but the buzzer from the timeclock was not working properly.
Also, I heard that the new lights have sliding shades that will allow them to be covered and uncovered quickly, such as for pre-game intros. Now only if we had some spotlights...

I've been sitting in the top row of Section 22 (now Section 10) for 15 years or more. It seems there had been only a couple of games where the announcements were clearly audible. Several years ago on a Friday night, inexplicably, the PA system was as clear as a bell. The following night and ever since, the announcements have been practically unintelligible. Last night was no exception. I challenge whoever is in charge of the audio to experience a game from our seats and then tell us that the PA system works like it's supposed to.

Don't feel like the "Lone Ranger". From my seat in row 1 on the blue line (west side, north end) it is unintelligible as well. Fortunately I sit close enough to the announcer to be able to read his lips.

I skipped out on the open house and the blue/white game, so tonight is the first time I'll get back to Yost. I'm very excited for the start of hockey season.
I'm told a new flag was purchased and will be dropped off at my house this afternoon.

+1.
Well, except for the flag part.
Look foreward to seeing the game. BTW, on Rivals, it'e being reported that goaltending will be Rutledge, Racine, and Janecyk periods tonight.

Re: Michigan Wolverines: 2012-2013 Season thread!!!!!!!
Nice to see a real game at Yost last nights.
Team looked ok- took them a period to really find their feet, but based on the line up- Red put a lot of new guys out there to see what they can do. Kinda hard to get a feel from them in one game like this. One of the veterans didn't do himself favors- Kevin Claire- he needs to be a LOT more confident with the puck. It's one thing for a freshman to be weak on passes, figuring out that the speed a higher now. It's another for a player like Claire. Hope he can find something to get the playing time.
We left after the second- my wife isn't 100% right now- so we are trying to just get better- so didn't see anything happening in the 3rd.
As for Yost. Looks good- I like how the windows appear at night- pretty cool.
But I'm not 100%.
While it's nice that the band has a much better spot- angled out to hear you- there is NO PLACE AT ALL to stand under them. We tried, and the ushers all just told us to not be there- everything is a walkway. And where there are no people- we are still not allowed to stand there between periods. So after so many years of going to listen to the band between periods- we can not do that at all anymore. big BOOOO. Sorry to the band that you won't be able to see you fans up close. Bad, bad design.
PA is WAAAAYYY TOOOOO LLLOOOOOOUUUUUUUDDDDDD. Especially for the music as they come onto the ice. It's bordering on painful. I go to rock concerts as well- turn down the volume.
The PA still has that stupid horn. For God's sake, stop it. We have a band.
For some teams, the intro with the lights and piped in music is needed. Yost it is not. Outside of the bleeding nature of the sound, we have a BAND, one of the best pep bands of all of college hockey, and they play a MICHGIAN introduction, as opposed some some sounds that resemble some kind of rock music I can't identify. We missed the entro to the band due to the overplayed music. As for the theatric lights- the fans are already smart enough to be up for the game- what's the point of the theatrics? Are we going to do something similar at Football games sometime soon? This isn't the bad basketball program where the arena didn't fill- this is hockey, where the fans come. Ok, last night they did not- but it was 1)Tuesday, 2) Widnsor, and 3) agains the Tigers. We left early, even.
Theatrics are needed when the fans need some kind of pumping up, generally for programs who suck so much that you need to distract the fans with stuff like that to get them excited. The fans here are better than that, and the program is far better than that. Plus, the band.
Anyway, that's my rant. I will probably shoot a note off to the athletic department about it, too.

Re: Michigan Wolverines: 2012-2013 Season thread!!!!!!!
I have been at several games over the past three years or so where there were MANY empty seats, especially on the student side across from my seats, mostly on the north end of that side.
I don't consider point #3 valid. The Tigers game didn't start until 9:10. That is USUALLY about the same time the 3rd period starts. So you would miss the first 3 innings to stay for the entire game.
CORRECTION - it was NOT a "Real game" - it was an exhibition game - meaningless. So you can make that point #4.
