No more NCHC on CBSSN. Hopefully on ESPN+ after the contract with Sidearm expires in 2027.

Definitely wouldn't bet on it,  but curious if TNT / HBO streaming would maybe be someone the NCHC is talking to. Obviously have the NHL now and they are doing more sports streaming as well.

IMO this is good news.  Having to get CBSSN every year for just a few games was irritating.  I'm also hoping for ESPN+, but it will probably cost the league moving to ESPN+ as I don't thing ESPN would pay much as it's probably not adding a bunch of users as most people will already have it.

Will miss Starman though.  Positive is we should get Alex now for the full season.

Good call, Amazon and Apple are trying the same thing. ESPN having a near monopoly on hockey could result in another service overbidding just to get some puck on their platform.

Personally my go to is Prime Video, tons of good neo-noir movies and (for PNW residents) every Kraken game.

Dang, I enjoyed CBS SN coverage.  Best of luck to all parties, it will be interesting to see which direction the NCHC goes.

Starman will be missed, hopefully stays on the air somewhere. Does his homework and knows the game. They did Holden dirty though.

Yeah, it's not a great setup for fans having marquee games unavailable on streaming in this day and age. Doesn't help that they only get mid-major games in other sports.
