Hockey East will be back on NESN this year. That's the good news. The
other good news is the championship game will be live for the first
time in two years.
Bad news, the package still does not begin until January and seems to
be similar in number of games to recent Fox Sports New England deals.
Overall, it has to be an improvement.
