Ice Matchups Shine On MHSAA TV Lineup

January 8, 2019

A couple of match-ups involving four of the state’s higher-ranked ice hockey teams highlight an MHSAA.tv schedule packed with more 250 events to be produced in the coming week by School Broadcast Program participants.

The top-ranked team in Division 1, Detroit Catholic Central, will be at Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood for a Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League battle on Friday (Jan. 11) at 7:15 p.m. The Cranes were ranked third in the latest coaches poll in Division 3.

Then on Saturday (Jan. 12),  Birmingham Brother Rice, rated third in Division 2, will be at Calumet for a 7 p.m. face-off. The Copper Kings are fifth in Division 3. Catholic Central and Brother Rice each reached the Semifinals of the MHSAA Tournament last year.

In its 10th year, the School Broadcast Program gives members an opportunity to showcase excellence in their schools by creating video programming of athletic and non-athletic events, with students gaining skills in announcing, camera operation, directing/producing and graphics. Pixellot – the NFHS Network’s automated streaming solution – is used by schools wishing to live stream games but lacking the ability to staff events. The SBP also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.

Here’s the upcoming MHSAA.tv schedule of video streams being produced by School Broadcast Program members and the NFHS Network:
