Satellite television subscribers have access to all of the major professional sports from the United States. With a standard subscription, you will have access to at least one MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL game every week. In most cases the subscribers will have access to more than one game, depending on the sport. The least popular televised professional sport is the NHL, and it gets the least amount of coverage. With the appropriate package you can watch plenty of games every week, but without the package your options will be severely limited. In fact, most people do not understand hockey, and in a lot of cases, they watch the game strictly in hopes that a fight will break out at some point and they will be entertained.
For the true and passionate hockey lover, there is nothing better than watching college hockey. College hockey is much different that the NHL for a number of reasons, the first being that it is more passionate and competitive. In the NCAA hockey, the teammates usually play for each other as a whole, and not individually trying to increase their value once they reach the professional market. Previously college hockey was hard to find on television outside each teams, respective region, but now with the many new additional channels, changes are significantly increased that you can watch your favorite college team on Friday and Saturday nights.
Surprisingly, one of the biggest backers of college hockey is the ESPN network and its relatively new ESPNU channel which targets university athletics. This is ironic, especially due to ESPN's never-ending attempt to distance itself from the NHL. On ESPNU you can catch games from different conferences every night of the weekend starting in October. You will also have access to the regional quarterfinals and semifinals on ESPNU and the national championship, which has come to be known as the ‘Frozen Four,' on ESPN itself.
Hockey is more of a northern sport, due to the fact that ice is needed to play the sport. In the south the winter months are too short and not consistently cold enough to support outdoor hockey rinks, but the NHL is trying to spread the sport to all of the major cities, including those in the southernmost states like Texas and Florida. At the college level now there are even a couple of teams from southern states, like the University of Alabama at Huntsville.
College hockey can provide some of the most intense athletic matchups that you can find on television. There is no satellite television package that caters directly to college hockey, but with subscriptions to the FOX sports packages, and the college sports packages you can cheaply afford to watch college hockey on your satellite television. For example, you can watch Boston University at Boston College starting at 7 p.m. on a Friday night on NESN, and later y0ouo can catch the University of Minnesota play against Denver University at 9 p.m. eastern time.
College hockey is athleticism at its best because these athletes are playing on a much smaller stage than the NCAA football and basketball players, who are mostly all playing individually to benefit and launch their careers. A satellite television subscription will afford you the opportunity to see these young athletes in their prime.
