I'd prefer to watch an Olympic gold medal round game than a Stanley Cup finals any day.
College Hockey is very much like European style. And, their Frozen Four is coming up in a few weeks. Typically, it's carried on ESPN2 (semis) and ESPN (finals).
Good luck finding College Hockey on any other time of the year...unless you're near a hockey school. I'm in the South....we've got 8 channels worth of cars driving in circles, but do they bother to put on any of the major College Hockey Games? Noooooooooo.....
