U.S. Olympic Hockey Schedule
The Winter Olympics are underway in Sochi. NBC is dedicating hours and hours of television programming to covering the various Olympic Sports. My favorite is Olympic Hockey. As much as I love the NHL, I enjoy Olympic Hockey even more. I watch both men's and women's hockey during the Olympics. If you're wondering, like I was, when the games will be on, I've done some research for you. I've even converted the broadcast times to Central Time, for easy reference.
According to USAHockey.com, the men's television schedule for Team USA is as follows:
Feb 13 vs. Slovakia. 6 a.m (7 ET) live, rebroadcast at 4 p.m. - NBC Sports Network
