Yale at Cornell Televised on CBS College Sports Network

ALBANY, NY – Some places were built for Friday night, where fans fill the stand to see greatness, toughness, legends, champions, and tradition.  One of those places is Lynah Rink in Ithaca, NY home to the Cornell Big Red.  The historic venue will play host to Yale at Cornell, two of the two most recent successful programs in ECAC Hockey, which will tangle in a Friday night match-up at 7:30 p.m. televised by CBS College Sports Network.

The traditional solid defense of Cornell will try to stop the high-powered offense of Yale. 

CBS College Sports Network's broadcast team includes play-by-play announcer Eric Frede and analyst Dave Starman.

CBS College Sports Network will also host the 2011 ECAC Men’s Hockey Championship.  This year's semifinals will be held Friday, March 18.  The first semifinal contest is slated to begin at 4:30 p.m., followed by the second semifinal game set for 7:30 p.m.  The following day, Saturday, March 19, the championship final will be broadcast live at 7:30 p.m. from the historic venue.
