GeauxSioux Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 From the Score Media website... Given the Canadian sports fans’ love for quality ice hockey, the deal features live coverage of top-flight programs including the University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, University of Denver and the University of North Dakota. These schools have produced NHL stars including Jonathan Toews, Phil Kessel, Zach Parise and Thomas Vanek, and feature numerous Canadian players on their current rosters.

farce poobah Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 From the Score Media website... If they want Canadian viewers, who are fiercely proud of their successes, show DU, UND and Wisconsin from the west ... the combined list of native Canadians who became top-flight NHL players from those three schools borders on the unbelievable.

as15 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's a sports channel in Canada. Is it on basic cable in Canada or does it take an additional subscription to watch it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Is it on basic cable in Canada or does it take an additional subscription to watch it? I just thought it was a web page, I was shocked when I found out that it was a Canadian channel. I am hoping DirecTV will pick it up.

Bert81 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 This is great news for me (living in Canada) as I rarely have the opportunity to watch UND's games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
