AMESBURY, Mass. - The Hockey East Association today unveiled the schedule of the Hockey East Game of the Week on NESN, a season-long initiative that serves to highlight key match ups on the league schedule in primetime on New England’s top sports television network. The slate features both men’s and women’s games on Friday and Saturday nights. A full list of games can be found below.
The Hockey East Game of the Week on NESN is a league promotion that began in the 2020-21 season that spotlights significant games on the conference calendar each week of the season. To date, the games have featured national broadcasters, additional social media coverage from official Hockey East accounts, and special intermission interviews and content.
Each Hockey East Tournament game that is televised will also be deemed a Game of the Week on NESN and receive enhanced coverage. Details on selected games will be announced when the tournament fields are set at the conclusion of the regular season.
The Hockey East Association and the New England Sports Network (NESN) unveiled a slate of at least 49 games that will be telecast on the region’s top sports network during the 2022-23 season. In February, the two entities announced a multi-year extension of the longest partnership in league history, dating back to the founding of both in 1984. Hockey East is again set to return to the TD Garden for the men’s tournament semifinals and championship, March 17-18 and enjoy its typical exposure on NESN each night. The coverage will wrap with seven men’s playoff games making airwaves on NESN or NESN+.
The announcement comes at the onset of the 2022-23 season after a record-breaking 2021-22 season for Hockey East and its teams and alumni on NESN. Last season saw a record number of Hockey East games on NESN and more alumni in the NHL than ever before. In total, 109 Hockey East alumni appeared in at least one NHL game, representing nearly one-third of the 348 NCAA alumni to play in the NHL last season. All 11 current men’s member institutions had at least one former player represented. In addition, all 32 NHL teams had at least one Hockey East product in the lineup at some point during the regular season. Hockey East claimed six 2022 NHL All-Stars, and boasts over 100 NHL players for the second year in a row.
