The Versus sports network, which will be rebranded as the NBC Sports Network on Jan. 2, has announced it will televise 16 NCAA hockey games this season, including three University of Denver contests against conference rivals Minnesota (Feb. 10), North Dakota (Feb. 24) and Nebraska-Omaha (March 2).
The 16-game schedule stems from the network’s multiyear deal with Notre Dame to have its home games televised on the NBC Sports Network beginning in 2013-14 season.
“We are excited to be launching our first-ever college hockey package by building a destination on Friday nights on the NBC Sports Network with many of the preeminent brands in the sport,” Jon Miller, president of programming for NBC Sports Group, said in a release.
