It’s finally here. Ever since UAH and the WCHA released the 2013-14 schedule seven months ago, we’ve had this series circled on our calendars. It’s time to begin our new era against our longtime rivals.
Typically, “Catching the Game” will let you know about how you can follow all the action. That’s great for road games, but for home games, we can’t stress it enough: WE WANT YOU THERE. One of the building blocks to get the program to where we want it to be is you, so get your tickets now.
Remember that for tonight’s game, the first 500 fans receive a free UAH T-shirt, free schedule magnet, and free poster.
If you simply can’t make it (or don’t live nearby), you can watch the games online with WCHA TV on America One Sports. You can get a season pass that will allow you to watch all conference games for all 10 WCHA teams.
For audio only, you can listen to the games online with the Beaver Radio Network. You can also follow @UAHHockey and @UAHChargers on Twitter for updates, or live statistics on UAHChargers.com.
