Tips on TV?


Posted at 12:01 am by Nick Patterson

Hmmm. This is interesting.

Last winter the WHL and Fox Sports Northwest came together to broadcast a handful of games involving U.S. Division teams from January onward. It was generally believed that FSN would broadcast more games this season once the new year began, though there has yet to be any kind of official announcement regarding that.

Well, the league media guides finally arrived while the Tips were on their road trip, and I picked up my copy this afternoon. This evening I was thumbing through it when I cam across a full-page advertising the WHL on FSN, and lo and behold it included a broadcast schedule. Ten games were listed -- nine on Friday and one on Wednesday. Here's the schedule as it was listed:

Jan. 8, Everett at Seattle
Jan. 13, Portland at Kamloops
Jan. 15, Everett at Chilliwack
Jan. 22, Everett at Portland
Jan. 29, Seattle at Spokane
Feb. 5, Seattle at Portland
Feb. 12, Spokane at Everett
Feb. 19, Everett at Tri-City
Mar. 5, Seattle at Kelowna
Mar. 12, Tri-City at Spokane

Again, there's been no announcement of this, so I can't confirm whether any WHL games are going to be broadcast by FSN, and if they are I can't confirm this schedule is accurate (though you'd think that if it's in the league's media guide it should be legit, even if it is an ad). But if it is accurate, it's quite the treat for Tips fans. Everett is involved in five of the 10 games, and four of those are on the road.
