Gary, I heard that the local Time Warner cable station will be picking up the ECAC game, so it will be televised in Ithaca.  In West Palm Beach, the game would be on CSTV,  but I heard it is not going to be live and is going to be rebroadcast Saturday morning, 11 am, and the final will be broadcast live on CSTV saturday night.

The game is also supposed to be streamed for free on XMI.

Appreciate the responses guys.

Below is CSTV's Friday schedule.  Why they can't do the game live is a mystery.  I've sent two requests to them without any response.   Their feedback page is:

We should let them know they should be doing the game.  I'm also very concerned that XMI will not be able to handle the traffic on Friday.

Because basketball hype is more important than actual hockey.  Still, it can't hurt to make our voices heard and let them know there is an audience for hockey.

But no one will be watching CSTV for basketball, with the games being on CBS and highlights continuously on ESPN.  Who would really tune into "Tourney Talk"?

I just sent the following comment to College Sports Television, which
is broadcasting the ECAC Hockey League tournament, but tape-delaying
the Cornell-Vermont semifinal.

======================================================================
Dear CSTV:

As a college hockey fan, I've appreciated the nation-wide coverage
CSTV's Friday Night Hockey has given to this great sport.  I live in
New Orleans, but am able to watch college hockey live every weekend on
CSTV (which I get, along with numerous regional sports networks, via
DirecTV).  As a Cornell alumnus and ECAC Hockey League fan, I'm also
pleased that CSTV will be broadcasting the ECACHL tournament with
play-by-play by former Big Red radio announcer and CSTV hockey analyst
Adam Wodon.

I am disappointed, though, to see that the first semifinal (Vermont vs
Cornell) is not scheduled to be broadcast live on CSTV Friday, March 18.
CSTV's schedule during that game (4:30pm-7:30pm EST) contains no live
sporting events.  (It's a half-hour of Full Court Press, 90 minutes of
The 1 College Sports Show, and two episodes of Coach.)  I am writing
to express the desire I'm sure is shared by many Cornell, Vermont, and
other ECACHL hockey fans to see the ECACHL semifinal live.

I imagine we're fighting a losing battle, since the Friday schedule
contains what look like a bunch of NCAA basketball tournament analysis
shows.  The sad truth may be that hype for basketball games broadcast
on another network is a better sell for them than actual live playoff
hockey, but we can only change that equation if we make our voices
heard as hockey fans.  I encourage anyone else who cares about this to
make their opinion known via
<http://www.collegesports.com/feedback/cs-feedback.html>.  I'd
recommend being respectful and stressing how much you appreciate the
live hockey coverage they do provide.

John, make a separate thread so people see that better.  I saw it on USCHO and sent feedback.

Could you please respond on that thread to bring it back to the front page and counteract the complacency of the two posters responding so far?

Done.

If the Cornell game is tape delayed are we to assume it will be played without television timeouts?

Though it's tape-delayed on CSTV, it's going to be live on Time Warner Syracuse (serving the Ithaca area as well) and Adelphia Cable.
