    Re: ESPN and Hockey East Reach Multi-Year Agreement

    ESPN appears to be confusing college hockey with basketball. I mean showing 4 UConn games?!?! And non-conference Quinnipiac gets one more game than both UVM and Maine? Granted, we suck, but c'mon!

      Q: Is ESPN generating any revenue from the NHL by showing their games?
      A: No. So as a result they don't care about the NHL. ESPN would rather show you a spelling bee, HS cheer competitions or any other crap programming that pays their way onto their channel.

        Aren't all UVM and Maine home games already streamed for free?

          When I watched a Quinnipiac women's game, it was pretty similar to what Quinnipiac was putting out previously. So that tells me ESPN3 is merely acting as a distributor.

            That's exactly what's going on. All production being done in-house on Q equipment. ESPN3 is merely a carrier.

              That's what NESN Plus just did this past wknd with the NU-Maine hockey game as well.

              It was the NU announcers / play by play guys, and also NU student journalists between periods & NU commercials in between periods etc. Now i'm not sure if that's what folks in Maine/ elsewhere saw (between periods) .. but around here it was clear they were merely distributing (airing) the NU feed on TV. Nesn + used everything the U provides on its stream already.

              We don't always win Hockey East or the Beanpot (#trilogy).. but when we do.. we are the Champions

                i want to add... if airing it this way got them to save $$$ and get the hockey to more households (i'm sure it did), than what the stream does... i'm for it.

                  At the beginning of the decade, when TWCS would broadcast RPI games (and simulcast on NHL Network a couple times), they'd bring in their own crew to do it all (albeit a few times they grabbed RPI grads). After a few years of that and finding it was both expensive and not very high quality (the decline of B2/A1 had a little to do with that as well), RPI-TV would produce it all in-house, add some commercials, and send to TWCS. From what I understand when I asked them about it a few years ago, the cost for TV was substantial to pick it up because they'd have to bring out an uplink truck, so RPI-TV chose to just distribute it themselves first on their own platform with third-party software, and now on YouTube.

                  It's not all that surprising that TV stations would depend on experienced producers at the sites to run the cameras since they'd save a ton of money. If the TV uplink hurdle could be crossed, I'm sure we could potentially see a lot more become available.
