COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – College hockey season is exactly two months away and the action on the ice will be heating up come October. Don't miss your chance to watch National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) games in 2015-16 on NCHC.tv as the conference's digital network returns for its second season.

As a “preseason” special for NCHC fans that did not purchase a NCHC.tv conference annual pass last season, NCHC.tv conference annual passes for 2015-16 are available at 2014-15 prices through August 31. The NCHC.tv conference annual pass grants access to all available games streamed on NCHC.tv. Included in the over 100 games available during the season are almost all home non-conference games and nearly every conference game, plus the quarterfinal round of the NCHC Tournament. NCHC.tv conference annual passes can be purchased here for the “preseason” price of $89.85, before the conference annual pass price increases Sept. 1.

For fans that purchased a NCHC.tv conference or school-specific annual pass last season, your annual subscription will be automatically renewed for 2015-16 at the original purchase price. Returning subscribers will receive a notification email from NeuLion, which hosts NCHC.tv, approximately 30 days in advance of your annual subscription being renewed. The email will also contain information about canceling your subscription, should you choose to do so. For any billing questions or issues or to upgrade from a school-specific pass to a conference pass, please contact NeuLion at nchctv@neulion.com.

While the first season of NCHC.tv was a success, the conference and schools have collaborated to make NCHC.tv even better in year two. In addition to more available games, among the improvements fans will see on the streams are improved graphics, more replays and an overall enhanced broadcast experience.

NeuLion will also be employing enhancements to NCHC.tv in the coming weeks to make it more user-friendly. On the schedule page, fans will be able to view games in a monthly, weekly or daily format, compared to just a weekly schedule last season. Game recaps from NCHCHockey.com will also be linked on the schedule page. Twitter feeds have been added to the viewing experience when watching games on NCHC.tv so fans can follow along on social media as well. NeuLion is also still exploring other possible enhancements.

For fans that purchased a school-specific or conference monthly pass last season, you will receive an email from NeuLion September 15 reminding you that your monthly subscription will automatically begin again in October. The email will also contain information about canceling your subscription, should you choose to do so. Monthly subscribers are eligible to upgrade to an annual pass, including the “preseason” conference annual pass special. For any billing questions or issues or to upgrade to an annual pass, please contact NeuLion at nchctv@neulion.com.

For new subscribers or subscribers that purchased a “mid-season” or “year-end” pass in 2014-15, school-specific annual passes and monthly passes will be available for purchase on NCHC.tv here in September as the season approaches. School-specific annual passes, which grant access to all available NCHC.tv games (home and road) all season for your favorite school will be offered at $79.95, while a school-specific monthly pass will be $16.95. A conference monthly pass, which gets all available games during a month, will be $24.95 while a conference annual pass beginning September 1 will cost $94.95.

The NCHC drops the puck on the 2015-16 season Saturday, Oct. 3 with five exhibition games and two more the next day, all of which will be available on NCHC.tv. The regular season begins Oct. 9-10 with all eight NCHC teams in action while six of the opening weekend games can be seen on NCHC.tv.
