    Looks like former Beaver Andrew Martens has signed with the Wichita Thunder of the Central Hockey League:

    Also, I have heard that Lakeland Public TV has bought the rights to telecast Beaver Hockey Games! This will increase the market for BSU hockey as Lakeland Public TV not only covers an area from Canada to Little Falls, but also shows up on DirectTV and DishNetwork as part of the Twin Cities market (I get it in the Alexandria area). If they can line up all the sponsorships needed, it will be great for exposure of the Green and White!

        Good deal. Nice exposure for BSU hockey. It will help attendance, too. I would assume then, that both cable providers will carry the games via Lakeland? I never understood why BSU would want an "exclusive" cable company carrier (I understand the cable co's logic - but not BSU's - unless that's all they could get).

          Because Charter/Midco gave them a boatload of money. IIRC, the first deal was something like $90,000 for three years for the exclusivity, and was around $15,000 and up each successive year...

            That is sweet. Millsy - see if you can make a couple calls and get the powers that be at Lakeland to show the games in HD.

              I am just happy we will be able to get the games in our area, just in case we can't make it up there for a game or two! HD would be nice, but analog will work. I know they are digital with their over the air feed.

              Up for lunch sometime next week?

                Here is an update on the possible Lakeland TV coverage of BSU Home Hockey Games from today's Bemidji Pioneer:

                http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/event/.../id/100019339/

                I hope they can find a way to get it on the main channel and not one of the alternates. The exposure to DirectTV and DishNetwork customers in the Twin Cities market would be huge. I can't get the over the air channels in the Alexandria area, but my DirectTV package has it. The BSU alumni in this area would love to be able to see the home games if they can't get up to Bemidji for them.

                        Matt Climie and the Texas Stars fell 6-3 to Hershey in the AHL Calder Cup Finals. Texas still leads the series 2-1.

                          That is a nice deal and will give the BSU program some good exposure.

                            Note that I was referring to the old deal/money. I've not heard what the finantials for the proposed Lakeland deal would be.

                              Too bad it is looking more and more like the games will end up on Lakeland Plus if they seal up the rights.

                              Maybe they can find a way to show them "tape delayed" on the main Lakeland station?
