Calling ALL United State Hockey Fans with Center Ice (and Everyone else for help!)

[SaveHextall]

We really need to find a way to get more people involved in this. i'm not sure how many are awre of it or even care, but our hockey brethren should want to help us out with this.

I sent an email a few weeks ago; like Drake noted, CI has shown some of the games with little advance warning in past years; hopefully, they show them this year; it would be nice to know.

 

[Sinurgy]

Done!

"NHL Center Ice will televise most U.S. games in the World Junior Championship"

Very promising, but certainly nothing concrete.

 

[GernerPSU]

I don't have CI but I'm all for helping the cause.

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Come on people keep sending them emails

I looked at Center Ice Extra(channel 540 on Dish Network) yesterday and it said it would be showing the world junior tourney

I have Comcast cable CI and I noticed the same message last night when I was checking the scores; I imagine it will be like in past years and only be the USA games; I will hope for more, but I am happy they at least plan to show some of the games; I have not found any schedule information as of right now.

Well, it looks our e-mails turned out to be a SUCEESS at least for the USA games!

Some games are already being listed on Direct TV (which will definitely be listed for all sat/cable providers with center ice!)

At first center ice told us that they would not be carrying the WJCS (for those who called them up) but like last year it has been a late year ADD!

THANK YOU ALL FOR SENDING IN YOUR MESSAGES TO CENTER ICE!

NHL Center Ice To Carry Most U.S. Games In 2007 World Junior Championship; usahockey.com to Audiocast all Team USA Games

Opening faceoff is set for 9 a.m. (EST) from Leksand, Sweden. NHL Center Ice will also carry Team USA’s tilt with Canada on Dec. 27 at 1:30 p.m. and its match-up against Slovakia on Dec. 30 at 11 a.m. The lone preliminary-round game not televised will be the USA-Sweden contest on Dec. 31.

Guess we should thank CI and ask for additional non-USA games next season.
Meanwhile good to be able to watch the ones being televised this year!

Thanks everybody who e-mailed in.

 

[firstroundbust]

directtv should have a tsn feed/channel permanently, imo.

Dish Network Ch. 541- USA vs Germany Tuesday at 9 am

At least that's what it says on my schedule

 

[MeHateHe]

TSN broadband will webcast three of the US opening round matches, plus one QF, both SF and the final.

It's here:

Sent my feedback. Hopefully it does some good.

3 of 4 USA games, meanwhile TSN, a Canadian channel, will televise all the games? Garbage.

I'm interested in watching the other teams too.. not just the US.

Did someone say Center-Ice is going to show all the games next year?

No.


But sometimes when they air the US broadcast they end up leaving it on and not cutting away, when they do that we get to watch the game after (usually Canada is playing in it).

 

[bayrider]

thanks, i'll keep that in mind

nope, not tonight

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Going to really suck if we can beat Slovakia tomorrow and then it comes down to the Sweden game that won't be aired

 

[Lessy]

I've read through this entire thread and from what I've gathered, if the US were to meet Canada in the semi finals, the game would be on Centre Ice? I'm currently vacationing in the United States and would like to know if I'll be able to watch that game and/or the gold medal game if Canada's involved in it. Can anyone confirm this

 

[Realm]

The only way you will see any of it is if the US is involved. If the US plays Canada it should be on, as the 1st meeting was on (taken from TSN)...If the US makes the gold medal it will probably be on as well.

What state are you in? If you are in the south, good luck either way.
