The Gophers' 27 televised games will lead the way for another season of national exposure for Big Ten hockey, the conference announced on Monday.

The Big Ten Network will televise 27 games, including the Hockey City Classic at Soldier Field in Chicago and the Big Ten hockey tournament in Detroit. ESPN networks will broadcast six games and Fox Sports regional networks will televise 29 games.

The coverage will kick off with the Gophers hosting Bemidji State Oct. 24 on BTN. ESPN's first broadcast will feature the Gophers and Notre Dame on Nov. 9. Fox Sports North and FSN Plus will carry 11 of Minnesota's games, BTN will broadcast 11, and ESPN four.

The Gophers have nine games without television rights, most of which are on the road, that can still be picked up. They currently have 27 games scheduled for television between the three networks.

BTN's Frozen Fridays will be back for eight straight weeks of coverage starting on Jan. 9, with additional games on Thursdays and Saturdays. A postgame show will air on Fridays and Saturdays.

This year's Hockey City Classic will return to Chicago on Feb. 7 and feature Michigan against Michigan State. Last year's event was held at TCF Bank Stadium in front of 45,021 fans. The Gophers beat Ohio State 1-0.

In addition to BTN's 27 broadcasts, some regionally produced broadcasts will be available live on BTN2Go.
