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.

What a !@#$ show at a NCAA D3 school. wouldn't be surprised if they drop the sport in a few years like how rumblings of AIC closing.

On a side note, looked up where the school is. They are in the middle of some big mansions, and some of their buildings are mansions. Real interesting school

Apparently BU may bring Wassilyn in early this year. (Doing that instead of bringing in Tynan Lawrence would be insane IMO) 

 

Bet Bryn and Dane will be hot on the phone to check in with Lawrence’s advisor if BU actually pulls the trigger on it. Maybe it sits fine with Lawrence but wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t either

Bringing in Lawrence would require Lawrence to have accelerated to graduate HS in 2025 instead of 2026, not sure if that has been done to make bringing him in early an option.

Dude I surf with occasionally went there, it's smack dab in the middle of the best surf spots in New England, with the best waves while school is in session. I had no idea they even have hockey.

True, granted Wassilyn would be the same situation (underaged who had to accelerate education)

The first time I heard of them was a club team last year, thought they were Canadian lol.
