Does anyone know if home games will be broadcast on SZ online this year?

It seems like television coverage in general has been a last minute announcement the last 2 or 3 years. Has anything been announced yet for cable/satellite and/or over the air options? My understanding was that SZ Online got nixed last year in favor of the league's streaming package. :mad:

It doesn't look like anything has been announced for coverage of the games on television.

Atlantic Hockey appears to have moved to FLOHockey as their streaming provider, so you will need to signup for a subscription there to watch the games. Without going through the signup process you can't see the prices though it appears to watch live you need the PRO subscription which I believe is around $30 monthly.

The FLO rates are $30 /month for a month to month subscription, or $13 / month for a yearly package. They say you can cancel at any time. Both are pretty much the same as Stretch internet which was $100 for the season and an extra $40 for the playoffs.

I went back and looked, and last year it looks like there was no announcement about TV until about Oct 16, right before the first game. Ever since Spectrum shut down Spectrum Sports, it seems that RIT has struggled to get a deal in place for their TV coverage, and has always been announcing at the last minute.

It sucks that they have been denied permission to live stream their games for free on SZ Online (if that's actually what happened). I get that the league has a streaming deal in place, but I always figured that RIT owns the rights to their broadcast, so at the end of the day they can give it away for free if they so desire.

WBGT is standard def only, but it's better than nothing. And better than showing live broadcasts only on Saturdays with tape delay on Fridays.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but are they not playing an exhibition against a Canadian team this year? I suppose the game at Colgate is in the normal exhibition spot... it's also weird that they're playing that game before the Icebreaker tournament.

Exhibitions at break are good for getting back on the ice in a game situation when you've been off for three weeks. Seems like more teams are scheduling those these days.

That's fair. I forgot about the horrendously long winter break for college hockey (sure the students don't mind the long break from classes though!)

In other news, I heard a commercial for RIT sportszone on the radio today, and it sounds like they will be streaming live home games on the website again. Wonder if those will be available in HD with channel 18 being standard def only.
