All Atlantic Hockey Playoff Games to be Broadecast on the B2 Network :: Lakers' bid to host quarterfinal series continues this weekend against RIT

Feb. 19, 2008

Haverhill, Mass. -

The Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA) and the B2 Network announced today that every AH playoff game will be broadcast worldwide "live" on the B2 network.

The quarterfinals (best 2-of-3) will take place the first weekend in March at the sites of the top five finishers. Mercyhurst, sitting in the 4th spot at the moment, will try to solidify its bid to finish in the top echelon when it entertains No. 3 RIT this Friday and Saturday night at the Ice Center. Both games start at 7:05.

Just five points separate the conference's No. 1 team Army (31) from its No. 5, Air Force (26). All ten teams in the conference have four regular season games remaining. With Bentley and Canisius tied for 6th with 22 points, the Lakers need any combination of points adding to four to secure a "top 5" spot.
