Olympic Hockey HDTV schedule announced

NBC Olympic Logo

Hope you like your Olympic hockey in high-def because NBC recently announced the television coverage; there's more minutes of high-def hockey than Sean Avery's penalty minutes (but Sean is getting closer with 168). Right off the bat, every single Team USA game will be carried live on either NBC, USA or MSNBC. The NBC games will be high-def of course, but what about USA and MSNBC? Those games will have a live high-def simulcast on Universal HD, so that you get the full 1080i feel for the ice. The first puck drops with the USA Women's team on February 11, 2006 at 2:30 p.m. ET against Switzerland.
