With the NHL owners set to lock out the NHL players I they don’t have a new Collective
Bargaining Agreement on September 15th, 2012 hockey fans are going to be looking for options when it comes to watching hockey.
Like I mentioned in an earlier post – NHL fans have options. One option that you will have – NBC Sports Network is going to show 24 college hockey games during the 2012-13 season, if the NHL owners and the players don't solve their labor dispute - this will be one of the few options hockey fans are going to be looking for to file the NHL hockey void.
Not all is lost NHL Hockey fans.
On Friday nights - if there is a lockout - NBC Sports Network will college hockey on the television dial - you can check you local listing to see what channel it's on. For DirecTV subscribers NBSN is on channel 603.
There are a few dates on the schedule where there are going to be double headers, for instance on November 30th, 2012 you will be able to watch Boston College play Boston University at 7:30 PM Easter followed by Wisconsin at Denver University at 10 PM Eastern.
Also, you can expect CBS Sports Network to release their college hockey schedule very soon. Here is the link to the NBC Sports Net Announcement.
