BOSTON - Hockey East Association Commissioner Joe Bertagna announced on Wednesday the league’s composite television
schedule for the upcoming 2009-10 season at the league’s annual media day at Legends Restaurant in the TD Garden.
New England college hockey fans will have access to 50 telecasts involving Hockey East teams in the 26th season of league play,
highlighted by NESN’s “Hockey East Friday Night” package and the national contract with ESPNU (indicated in bold). The league will
also receive valuable regional and local exposure on Cox Sports in Providence and WABI-TV in Bangor, Maine. Hockey East fans
can also watch games live on the internet, as video streaming is available at all league schools, excluding select TV games.
The Hockey East Association is a 10-team Division I college men’s hockey conference and an eight-team Division I women’s league
which began play in 2002-03. Founded in 1983, the men’s league has won six NCAA championships in the past 17 years.
