Interesting nugget:

QuoteFor the fourth time in the last eight seasons, the Big Red and Bobcats will meet in the quarterfinals – with the last three series going the maximum three games.

Do we know that this is a league-wide deal or JUST for the QU-CU series at Lynah?  Right now, I suspect that it's just for this QF.

Quinnipiac Athletic University, the only pro sports franchise in South-Central Connecticut, seems to put everything on it's athletics calendar on ESPN3 for its Mercedes/BMW dealer interested fans. I can't imagine that Cornell Athletics would lift a finger to find a media outlet like this on their own, and the ECAC already seems to have decided that Boxnet or whatever is a thing for them. My very fuzzy no-evidence guess is that Quinnipiac Athletic University wants to make sure CT fans of their ECHL franchise avoid straying to other entertainment now that they've lured them away from the Yale Whale in the big bad city of New Haven to their cushy Hilltop Suburban Athletic Mecca. Keep the money coming.

Edit: Credible evidence exists. In an odd coincidence, the Quinnipiac @ Yale first round series was...also broadcast on this Eleven Sports thingy, in addition to BoxCast. http://www.ecachockey.com/men/members/yale/20180301_Yale_M_Game_Notes So I'm pretty convinced now that the only reason we have this free option is our opponent.

maybe the network made a bid for the rights to the QF but nobody made a bid for games with the 9-12 seeds.

EDIT: Should have read Detective RichH's work first.

I am just surprised it was allowed unless the ECAC made money off the deal. maybe they did and maybe more than the buys they figured they would get from cornell/Quin fans?

There must be some loophole that allows the live stream to be on Twitch & Facebook. Note that Eleven Network, the "traditional TV" channel that is on Directv (I think?) will show the games on tape delay. That apparently was enough to protect any exclusivity reqts for Boxcast. (And still make $ for ECAC? I really have no idea how this works.)

Q pays 11, 11 pays Box? Seems like a simple answer.

Or Q pays them both.

so the game is on 623 for directv tape delayed.. also noticed that the directv channel is not the same feed as the elevensportsprime feed. Still trying to figure out how to stream it to a roku or some other device. they have a twitch channel you can buy but i cant tell if thats the same channel either.

The Q-Yale game looked good streaming live on my phone last Saturday.  It should look fine on my PC connected to the HDMI of my TV this weekend.

The absence of evidence is the evidence.

The premium twitch channel basically removes ads or something. It's the same channel.

I searched ROKU and there is no ROKU channel.

Twitch has built in casting support for Chromecast
