GrumpyOldPucker Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 So what's up with all of the privacy codes for about 50% of the live barn Alpha ice broadcasts? Not wanting to start a pie fight about this, just curious. Any info is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOldPucker Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hmm interesting..... ACHA teams restrict the broadcasts but real legit D3 schools live stream their games for free through the school websites...... Big F'ng ROTFLMAFO salute Pittsburgh.

forbin Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I have asked and been told that Alpha blocks 99% of their weekday/night slots because of teams practices. They only allow it to be accessed on the weekends for games, but even then sometimes it’s locked. I am not sure about the college games but I know the majority of PAHL, PIHL and Vengeance games you can watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldPucker Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 I had an out of state friends ask me tonight about using live barn to try to watch a kid that's supposed to be playing at Alpha......Maybe it's gonna open up as the season progresses and more games are played, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSFBLJ Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 How will all the scouts watch little Tommy play?😀 They block practice sessions, who is watching that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifelongbender Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Most of the rinks block school hockey practice sessions, too. The programs are allowed to ask them to. I have noticed that it pays to wait for games at Alpha. For games that start between half hours, like 9:10 PM, for instance, it's not at all uncommon for it to still be locked at 9:00 but unlock a minute or two before game time, or even shortly after the game starts. It's frustrating but if you keep trying you'll often get in to watch the games after all. Edited October 21, 2021 by Lifelongbender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Handey Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Fishy behavior at Alpha? You mean the rink that was open all through COVID? Surprise, surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemesis8679 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 They block practices. If you play a game during a practice slot, you can ask and they'll give you the code. I assume it's a privacy thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad about his wife and 4 kids, though I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
