NESN's contract is with Hockey East; as such, Harvard is not part of that
deal and the only time the Crimson will appear on NESN is during the Beanpot,
the ECAC Final Four (sue me), or any HE-ECAC games NESN chooses to show.
 
NESN also does cover quite a few BC games; in fact, BC is probably their
biggest draw.  Here's how many times the eight HE teams are scheduled to
appear on NESN in 1991-92, not including playoffs or the Beanpot:
 
BC            8          Merrimack      5
BU            8          New Hampshire  5
Maine         5          Northeastern   5
UMass-Lowell  4          Providence     6
