Hackett claimed he wanted to increase UAA's attendance at the Sully.  His solution:  Put all home games live, for free, on local tv.   Great way to get butts in the seats, huh?  Fans were complaining to him that it was killing attendance to no avail.  Now he's wonders why the dip?  Uh. Sure...   And regarding Away games?  For the first time, there was no radio coverage.  Zip.  Instead, Gilbert, AZ based "Stretch Internet" which is completely inaudible without headsets replaced radio.  Even with headsets, major portions of the games went silent due to technical issues.  Lastly, "WCHA tv", a pricey subscription service using Stretch Internet with constant buffering & stoppage was offered up.  Very unreliable and not the best investment for fans or sports bars.  I felt bad for David Tuttle, UAA play-by-play guy.  He had to continuously apologize to fans during every game because they couldn't hear his broadcasts.  College hockey doesn't have a chance to thrive under this soccer-minded AD.
