CANTON, N.Y. -- B2 Networks and St. Lawrence University Director of Athletics Margie Strait today announced a multi-year partnership that will bring Saints ice hockey to the premier provider of broadband broadcasting.  The partnership will begin this fall with home games for both men's and women's ice hockey being shown live on B2 Networks.

With the addition of St. Lawrence, B2 Networks has partnerships with three members of ECAC Hockey for both men's and women's ice hockey; St. Lawrence, Brown and RPI. St. Lawrence's away games at B2 partner institutions will also be broadcast live and be available to fans worldwide.

"We are excited about the opportunity to expand our audience for our men's and women's hockey programs through our partnership with B2 Networks," said Strait. "Partnering with B2 Networks enables us to provide a higher-quality video broadcast to more fans at a very reasonable cost and will also allow our fans to see our men's and women's teams in action in several away games against teams which also are associated with B2 Networks."

By teaming with B2 Networks, St. Lawrence ice hockey will be available for viewing by a worldwide audience. Live hockey games will be aired through the school's athletic website http://www.stlawu.edu/sports/index.html as well as http://www.b2livetv.com/. Fans wanting to watch Saints hockey via B2 Networks will need a high-speed Internet connection and a current version of Microsoft Windows Media Player. Games will be sold on an individual basis for $6 ( US), and a season pass to view all St. Lawrence men's and women's ice hockey games broadcast on B2 Networks for $50 (US) will become available in the near future.

With 34 home games between men's and women's hockey scheduled to be broadcast and a minimum of three road games, the season ticket price is approximately $1.35 per game. Home playoff games will also be broadcast via B2 Networks, but are not part of the season pass program. St. Lawrence will continue to offer the free radio broadcast of all men's games and selected women's games through its web site.

"We are excited to announce that St. Lawrence University has joined B2 Networks as a partner for their hockey programs," stated Richard Brosal, B2 Networks Executive Vice President for Business Operations and Marketing.
