Union College: 2017-2018

Hey Folks! New to the forum and new to following Union hockey. Any tips for following the games from afar? I see the games appear to be streamed on Union Athletics TV. Before I drop the $$$'s, how is the quality? Also, assuming that they only stream home games, any tips for finding away games? Does the school typically send out links for those on social media etc.? Or are you typically left to hunt down each school's broadcast?

Thanks!

For the away games, the other non-ivies in league have free streams. With RPI, either go to rpitv.org or look for them on YouTube. Quinnipiac (can't remember if they do YouTube or a stream local to their site) is usually their video board feed so you're bombarded with "GET LOUD" and various promos. I've never seen Colgate's, but only because I usually go to that one in person. Clarkson and SLU you can usually find links on their respective athletics pages. All typically simulcast with either their home radio feed, or special broadcasters. Playoffs, however, will always be PPV because they're the property of the ECAC, not the schools.

For the non-conference, it really depends, but most have streams that are free to view.

Media Day To Be Streamed Live
Sep 07, 2017
ALBANY, N.Y. -- ECAC Hockey (@ecachockeyMWD1) today announced that it will officially begin the 2017-18 season by conducting its annual Men’s Media Day Monday, September 25 at 11:30 a.m. in the Exhibition Hall of the ECAC Hockey offices at the Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y.

The league will stream the event live on www.ecachockey.com providing the unique opportunity for fans to get the preseason outlook on the upcoming campaign.

Media Day will feature coaches from all 12 of the league’s men’s programs, who will be available to discuss the upcoming season, a special welcome from ECAC Hockey Commissioner Steve Hagwell and the release of the Preseason Coaches’ and Media’s Polls, along with the Preseason All-Conference selections.

New Haven Register picks .....

"Quinnipiac should contend for the ECAC Hockey championship this season, a veteran defensive team with arguably the top two goaltenders in the league. Yale probably won’t get much love in the league preseason poll, to be released on Monday. There are too many unknown factors for a team coming off a mediocre season. But the Bulldogs could be a top 4 team, especially since Keith Allain is still coaching, right up until the start of the Winter Olympics on Feb. 9."
 
Re: Union College: 2017-2018

It's supposed to have started at 11:30 am. The ECAC has always had a difficult history with video.

Re: Union College: 2017-2018

I just called the commissioner's office (518) 944-3131 and was told that they were just informed that the streaming was not working and they are now working on it. Some things never change.

FINISHING 16th in a 12 team league is quite a feat. :)
 
Re: Union College: 2017-2018

We are being picked in the middle for the ECAC. Both coaches and sportswriters poll us as 6th. I say somewhere in the middle 4. I would also put us in the middle 25 - 35 in the NCAA. Can the coaches use the first half to shore up defense and make a run in the ECAC for the second half? Could we make it to Lake Placid?
Next year we may only lose 2 starters and with another good recruiting class, I see us being very strong. This year the coaches must develop the team. BU will be a very good test. Maier and Scarfo played excellent last year in Boston. I like this team. Acid in the gut. They have the charcater. Can they develop the talent?
 
Re: Union College: 2017-2018

BU is picked to win HE. We are picked 6th in the ECAC. Could be a blowout. Who is going to start in goal?
