GCI, an Anchorage area cable company is shooting the game. Kurt Haider, the Seawolves play-by-play announcer on KTZB 550-AM, will provide the audio. So he should be pretty knowledgeable about Alaska Anchorage.

But the video feed will be pretty basic, said Dallas Baldwin, the Seawolves' hockey sports information director. Camera angles will be limited, Baldwin said, and she is not sure if replays will be provided.

"It's pretty basic and simple," Baldwin said. At least it is free.

The games will be broadcast on radio locally, too. Wally Shaver and Glen Sonmor will be on WCCO (830-AM) on Friday and KNOF (95.3-FM) on Saturday.
