Wish I could watch some of these games, doesn't seem like there's many streams for NCAA hockey until the Frozen Four.

Same here, but I end up listening to the radio broadcasts. The first game I'll be able to watch is the game @ MSU on December 10 since it's on the BTN.

That's why I love the comparisons that our new goalie recruit (the name is slipping my mind and I feel awful, I should definitely know this) has had with Hunwick. They say he's supposed to be a not-as-tiny version of Hunwick. Which would be a beautiful thing. Add that with Nieves and Trouba, and that's an unbelievable class. Makes our football class look mediocre.

Jared Rutledge is the goalie that just committed recently. Seems from what I've seen that he's not interested in becoming the 3rd goalie to leave to the OHL before playing a game.

And it is awesome that Trouba, Nieves, and Giuseppe have all been recently projected as NHL 1st round draft picks in 2012.

No, only Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State (CCHA teams), Minnesota, and Wisconsin (WCHA teams) have teams currently with Penn State being added in 2012-13. The Big Ten Hockey Conference will start in 2013-14, can't wait for coverage on the BTN.

As far as I know, yes UNO is completely different and will not be a part of the Big Ten Conference. It would be nice if schools like Nebraska-Lincoln and Illinois started teams. I believe I've heard that Illinois is not interested in creating varsity hockey there though.

The game tomorrow night is on FSN-Detroit and Saturday night is on Comcast TV. Don't know if you live in Michigan or have comcast, but a decent chunk of conference games are televised this season. Comcast usually picks up a nice amount of games and then FSN/FSN+ picks up the rest and of course BTN gets the B1G games.

I think a split is about as good as Western will get this weekend. Yost is a hostile place to play. Western is deep with their scoring though, and that may cause matchup problems for Michigan. Ultimately I think Michigan wins both and sweeps the weekend.

I really don't expect to win either game. Yost is a tough place to play. But Western is playing pretty well and should have some confidence so I could see them taking 1 of 2. Hoping for a sweep to keep that 0 in the loss column . Should be a fun series regardless.

Side note: MSU player Branden Carney broke his neck at practice today. Sounds like he should be ok, but still, scary stuff.

We should petition for a college hockey board.

I am so happy its on FSN. Its the first game i get to watch this year.

I'm just glad fox and directv made friends so I can watch this game.

Dropping in from the Penn State board. I've been covering Penn State's transition from Club to NCAA hockey, complete with recruit articles and all that. I spoke with Zach Hyman when he was considering where to transfer(was committed to Princeton before Gadowsky left to coach PSU) kid looks to be a player, can anyone provide an update on how he has played so far? Covering NCAA hockey is going to be a blast, especially with all of the tradition of the Big Ten schools.
