UVM has more home games on national TV than we do.

No love for the River Hawks. Last years story line of "Worst to First" isn't enough to give us more TV games? At least one being at home?

I agree on that!
Sunday games aren't too bad, since they are at 4pm, but if they were at 7 or later, I wouldn't be as okay with it.

If that were true, perhaps there'd be more TV time.
Re: UML 2012 Offseason Thread: "If this is a dream, don't wake me!"
I'm not surprised by the lack of home TV coverage. Knowing all the construction changes that took place this summer, running cables for TV would be a logistical nightmare for NESN. What probably needs to be done now is a whole new internal cabling system for TV events that also ties in with the internal control room for video production.

Wouldn't that be part of the renovation plan? Why do they "need to run cables"... Shouldn't the building be wired up to an extent to plug in and go?
Re: UML 2012 Offseason Thread: "If this is a dream, don't wake me!"
The building has never been wired for external television production. It may have been part of the cuts that were implemented when the building was built. I'm sure it will be in the future at some point, especially if the University wants to really promote the team via television.
You might think that Comcast (which owns NBC and NBC Sports, I believe, and is also the parent company of Global Spectrum, the arena management company) would want to work a deal with the University to make this happen.

Along with Captain Riley Wetmore. Coach Bazin announced that Josh Holmstrom, Chad Ruhwedel and Colin Wright will be wearing the 'A' for the River Hawks this season. http://bit.ly/OoykCo
Good group of young leaders!

Re: UML 2012 Offseason Thread: "If this is a dream, don't wake me!"
I can picture the conversation over in the HE offices.
Joe Bertagna: "OK everyone. I just got off the phone with University of Hawaii and Alaska Anchorage and we're working hard to get them to join Hockey East. This should add $20 to the tv contract we're going to sign and then once the tv people figure out that no one will watch these games because they still don't understand how to follow a puck on tv, we'll just kick them out of the conference. Anyway, here's another bright idea. We'll do another Frozen Fenway. Let's do Uconn/Notre Dame and UML/Merrimack this time and let's schedule it for a day that the Patriots are playing in the NFL playofs."
Hockey East financial experts: "Joe, that would be a terrible idea. We project attendance to be about 4,645 people and we will take a loss of about $673,234."
Joe Bertagna: "Great, do it then! Just think of all these people that are going to watch this on tv. That's why attendance is going to be so low, everyone will just stay home and watch it! Maybe ESPN will televise this game and pay us a lot of money for the tv rights to this."
Hockey East marketing experts: "Joe, ESPN is going to televise the WSOP and the Westminster Dog Show that night."
Joe Bertagna: "Hmmmm... Well, let's see if NESN will bump another episode of Charlie Moore Mad Fisherman for these games. Think of all the people that hate football that will turn off the NFL playoffs to watch these scintillating matchups!"
