Another alternative for watching hockey during the NHL lockout is to watch your local college’s club (ACHA) hockey team. Most games are free and you can see awesome plays like this one, which was made by Kennesaw State forward Justin Day.
According to the Kennesaw State Twitter Account, ESPN asked them to provide them with the game footage for consideration on Sportcenter’s Top 10. And yes, this game was against the Alabama Crimson Tide’s club hockey team.
