When the news about the new college hockey conference the National Collegiate Hockey Conference first broke; there was a story written by Duluth News Tribune writer
Kevin Pates that mentioned the possibility of the television channel Versus being in the mix. Many hockey fans and self professed experts were skeptical about this development; it appears that just maybe the rest of this story is emerging… Now Ken Schott has this story in his blog today. Stay tuned.
Ken Schott; Parting Schotts --- There could be a national college hockey package coming to Versus this season.
Numerous sources have indicated that Versus is discussing the possibility of televising regular-season college hockey games, beginning in January. What conferences would be involved, or what night the games would be shown (either Friday or Saturday) is unclear right now. Versus, part of the NBC Sports Group, is the cable home of the NHL. A few months ago, the NBC Sports Group signed a 10-year deal to keep the NHL on NBC and Versus.
A Versus spokesman declined comment.
