Grand Forks -MSN, CSi 75, is sending a crew to Las Vegas to broadcast the Oct 27 hockey game between intense rivals UND and University of Minnesota, which is scheduled for 9 p.m. Central.
Because it’s UND’s home game, Midco has exclusive rights.
“Aside from personally being excited to be able to call the game, it’s a great thing for our network,” play-by-play announcer Alex Heinert said. “We’re going to be able to take a crew on the road and broadcast a really special event—it’s the best rivalry in college hockey—and bring the game back to people in this area.”
Heinert said ever since this game popped on the schedule, Midco has been working toward broadcasting it.
“We’d expect this game to be our most-watched game of this upcoming season,” Heinert said. “It’s going to be a tremendous event.”
The Vegas game, which will be played in the 7,500-seat Orleans Arena, will be the only meeting between the historic rivals next season.
