CU & ECAC Tourney on TV

[Jim Hyla]

As of right now TWCNY does not list the ECAC Championships on their sports channel. I've emailed them to ask. Could some of you in other TW areas check and ask your locals?

is the ECAC finals on tv this year other than Tape delayed if you dont get cable?

That's my question.

I could be wrong, but I think it's not uncommon for Time Warner to wait until pretty late before announcing coverage. I'm pretty sure I recall coverage being announced in the past --after-- Cornell secured their spot in the semis. So I wouldn't yet sweat the fact that no coverage has been announced. I'd say if we beat Harvard, and nothing has been announced by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, that would be a good time to start worrying.

For what it is worth, TimeWarner Western New York has aired the ECAC semis and finals for the last couple of years, but this year it is not on their calendar.

I just got an email from Steve Hagwell. The ECAC Semis are on NHL network live. The Finals are on Fox College Sports live and NHL delay. I've checked the FCS listings and it looks like the Finals will be on FCS Pacific. Atlantic has the CCHA and Central has WCHA.

Please check your local cable listings and let me know if you find any problems. I've updated the original post.

Albany TWC is showing Union/Quinipiac. That leaves NHL Network as the only local hope.

I don't think there is any hope for this weekend in Ithaca except on the Internet.  Next weekend will be televised from Albany.

FWIW: Looks like all games will be available live online, via B2...

From the ECAC site: (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/2009-10/news/20101403_ChampionshipFinals)

"All games will be televised live via the NHL Network and Fox College Sports (championship game only) and streamed live via B2 Networks. Access to the B2 Networks broadcasts can be gained via the League Web site."

That's random.

The women's FF semi-finals are not on TV, only on the intertubes.

A link for the video feed can be found on the USCHO/women's home page.

Let's Go RED!

On game day I assume it'll also be on the ECAC Women's page.

I flipped through my TV last night and the info bar confirmed the live feeds on 3/19 (NHL Network) and 3/20 (FCSP).  [OT]WCBS is still "Teams TBA" for hoops (see my post on the "Other Sports" board).[/OT]

For those with Cablevision who can't drive to Albany this weekend (shame on us), you can purchase the Sports Pack which includes both channels for $5/month, or do what I did last year: Buy the Pack on Friday, cancel it on Sunday, and pay a pro-rated 33 cents.  Best PPV deal ever.

According to the athletics department, the games will also be available on Redcast:

Fans in the Ithaca area can hear Jason Weinstein's call of the games on WHCU 870 AM, while Cornell Redcast subscribers will also get live streaming audio of both contests.
