In Boston, we get Hockey East coverage on NESN (New England Sports Network) and FSNE (Fox Sports-New England), with FSNE showing a few midwest games. Hopefully, you can pick them up on satellite.
I'm Boston College fan, Beezer follows Maine, Octo is a True Blue Michigan loyalist and Burgie's roots are with Minnesota. Sharkalope and I think HR are also college pucks enthusiasts.
Here's a Hockey East website, if you haven't been there already:

Octo,
Haven't seen Jim Howard play live, but saw him shutdown BC a few weeks back...quite impressive. Should be an interesting HE final Maine vs UMass...the perennial power versus the upstart Minutemen. No upset though...Da Black Bears will prevail.
