Saturday Jan. 30 at Trinity (EE) at 3 pm - There is no webcast of this game planned at this time, according to David Kingsley of the Trinity sports information office; however, he noted the Trinity radio station has webcast games in the past and could do this one as well. The Bantam radio station just hasn't released its schedule yet.

Friday Feb. 12 at Amherst (EE) at 7 pm - Amherst Sports Information Director Alex Kantor indicated the game will "likely" be webcast atwww.amherst.edu/athletics/jeffcast but to check the link as the game approaches to make sure.

Saturday Feb. 13 at Hamilton (EE) at 3 pm - There is no webcast of this game planned at this time; however, the Hamilton student radio station might do one. More information about a possible webcast will be available as we get closer to the game, according to Hamilton Sports Information Director Jim Taylor.

Friday Feb. 19 at Colby (EE) at 7 pm - Colby Sports Information Director Bill Sodoma reports there is no webcast of this game planned at this time; the Colby student radio station could provide coverage but the schedule has not been formalized yet.

Saturday Feb. 20 at Bowdoin (EE) at 4 pm - James Canton, the sports information director at Bowdoin, stated the school plans to webcast the game at http://www.bowdoin.edu/video/athletics-live.shtml and provide live stats at http://livestats.prestosports.com/bowdoin/. However, there could be a scheduling conflict if the Bowdoin basketball team hosts a NESCAC playoff game, which would negate a hockey webcast.

To sum up, half of NEC's remaining 12 games on the road will have live coverage with the possibility of others added at a later date.

We will pass along updates as they become available.
