“Given FloSports’ mission to providing high-quality college hockey content, moving AtlanticHockey.tv to FloHockey was the best move for us as a conference”, Atlantic Hockey Commissioner Robert DeGregorio said. “They’ve proven themselves to be a dedicated partner from the moment we met and I am confident that, together, the next four years on FloHockey will increase the league’s exposure and showcase the talent and quality of play our teams possess.”

As one of the premier college conferences in the country, Division I Hockey East features 11 teams from schools including: University of Massachusetts, Boston College, Northeastern University, Providence College, Boston University, University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of Maine, University of New Hampshire, Merrimack College, University of Connecticut and University of Vermont.

These deals further cement FloHockey as the No. 1 destination for college hockey with more than 1,000 college hockey games broadcasted from the Big Ten, WCHA, NCHC, and now Atlantic Hockey and Hockey East.
