I agree with Dick Tuthill that the CCHA really has its PR and broadcasting
act together. We get the CCHA digest out here on the west coast and it is
a great advertisement for the league. I wish each league had one half
hour per Friday for a full two hours of the weekly summary, each league
touting its own, of course...... maybe the ECAC will wake up? If not, I
am beginning to agree with Dick that some teams might reconsider a move to
HE.... does anyone know the league addresses where one might right to ask
them to put on a show like the CCHA digest? The program College Hockey
USA is "sort of" an overview of all four leagues, but tends to be WCHA
dominated...... I think each league would benefit by a program, or,
perhaps a full one hour show with 15 min dedicated to each league. On top
of that, as I have seen on tape delay, the ECAC broadcasts are orders of
magnitude less professional and complete and competent (and whatever else
you want to use :-)) than the ones I see from HE and CCHA.
