You can watch an online stream of Friday's game at BU for free through BU's website. TV contracts for individual teams are few and far between. At this point, I believe North Dakota and Minnesota are the only two left with actual contracts with a network. UNH might still have something with NH Public TV, don't know offhand. TV deals for hockey aren't the most lucrative and networks don't benefit much from them since ratings are so low. A streaming deal for UConn would be the best bet - ideally following in the footsteps of many other HE schools and offering a live stream for free. BU, Northeastern, Maine, Vermont, and others do this already.
ND has a home game broadcast deal with NBC Sports.
LOLGood for you. Nobody cares.

Why can’t we get some of these road games on TV. Or at least on an accessible streaming channel? It’s frustrating. I’m willing to pay for road games, but we need a reliable way to do it.

Blow me.ND has a home game broadcast deal with NBC Sports.
CPTV would be a great home for all of UConn's home games.This might be old fashioned, but I always figured UConn hockey would be good programming for CPTV a la WBB
CPTV would be a great home for all of UConn's home games.
I feel as though UConn hockey has similar market potential as the WBB team in this one way:
I think there is a large demand in Connecticut for meaningful local hockey and I think there is large niche market of people who aren't really fans of the other UConn sports teams that would latch on to the hockey team.
All they need is semi decent local exposure to make it easy for people to follow and I think CPTV would be a great platform for that.
CPTV did not start broadcasting UConn women's basketball until Gampel started selling out on a regular basis in the mid 1990's. UConn hockey attendance has declined this season, so this trend will have to be reversed in order to convince CPTV.
