Nationals Televised???

[quicktastick23]

Heard a rumor that some games at nationals may be televised. Any truth to this? Its prally b.s. but figured id ask.

I heard Altitude might to the DI Semi Finals and Finals but I don't know if it's true either. I'd like to know also.

Funny you should ask. I was thinking of sending an email to ESPNU to televise Nationals. Unless they are covering the Frozen Four, I can't imagine that there is much to cover this time of year. Even if they are covering the Frozen Four, NCRHA Nationals is in the same vicinity.

There will be 4 games televised throughout nationals. Comcast will choose the 4 games they think would be best to put on TV. They wont be nationally aired but the markets in which both of the teams playing will have the game aired along with the Colorado market. ex. The Boston Rink Rats and Snipers for PIHA Finals had the games aired on the St. Louis, Boston and Colorado Markets. ESPNU is a lost cause because (to my understanding) they can't do club sports games due to NCAA regulations

I'm not sure about that one...the one game taped last year between Boston and St. Louis was NOT shown in St. Louis. I'm assuming it was shown in Colorado...

Another NCAA regulation that makes all the sense in the world... :mad:

I think it was. I seem to remember seeing it. As part of the relationship between SIHA/PIHA and Comcast here, they tape quite a few games at Tour, and show them on the Comcast Channel here (plus, they usually have 5-10 games, youth, HS and PIHA, available on demand).

Getting back to another thread, I believe this a big reason for the health of the sport, especially at the youth level, here in Colorado.

Do you know if it is possible to get/buy a copy of the games from Comcast? Or is anyone going to record/Tivo the games and burn to DVD?

Thanks in advance....

Is there going to be a professional video taping company at Nationals again this year?

So I just witnessed women's college bowling (fat out of shape women rolling a ball at some pins) on ESPN U.....really? we can't get the national tournament on tv?:confused:

No, but Lifetime Media might be there again this year.

[BLIZARD_HOCKEY]

I think he was just being a jerk (as usual). :p

[RustyPipes27]

They are a professional company, but I was highly dissatisfied with them when I ordered from them in 2004. Just exercising my right as a consumer to complain when it takes like four months to a DVD that actually works. That was a long time ago though...

if i remember correctly didn't last yrs. games only have video and no audio.
