Ten of the Omaha Lancers' home games in 2006-07 will be televised on a tape-delay basis by 24-hour college sports network, ESPNU.
"This is a great opportunity for us to showcase our players and the entire USHL," said Lancers President Luc Robitaille. "We have 14 Lancers on scholarship, so it will be an exciting and fun way for college fans to start following these players before they go to college."
The games will be televised tape delayed at noon CST on the following Wednesday from when the game is originally played.
The schedule:
- Tri-City Storm, Oct. 11
- Lincoln Stars, Nov. 15
- Ohio Blue Jackets, Dec. 6
- Indiana Ice, Dec. 20
- Lincoln Stars, Jan. 3
- Sioux Falls Stampede, Jan. 17
- Chicago Steel, Feb. 7
- Green Bay Gamblers, Feb. 21
- Des Moines Buccaneers, March 21
- Lincoln Stars, April 18

Cox custmers don't get ESPNU way to go Lancers
Yes, Cox Communications does not carry ESPNU in Omaha, but the channel is available via Direct TV.
You would think since the lancers used to be in Omaha the would try to get the games on a channel that most of Omaha gets ie ESPN or ESPN2.
You aren't going to get a USHL hockey game on ESPN though...
Great exposure for the Lancers and the USHL on a national level on a channel that's offered elsewhere, but apparently not in Omaha. Maybe it's Cox that should join the 21st Century and have it on their system. How many Knights' games are going to be on national TV, anyway?
