Sport on the BBC: The best of this week's action
Sunday, 6 March
15:45-18:30, Ice Hockey - Challenge Cup Final: Nottingham v Cardiff, online & selected Connected TVs
Which probably means Smart TVs only and not via Sky or Freeview.
There's a fair few people going to be disappointed if that's the case. Shame.

How many Olympic gold medals have GB ice hockey won? One - but that was in 1936!
If it's a toss up between cycling and ice hockey on the Beeb, it's a no brainer which sport will be given priority. I can't stand cycling but it's one of GB's most prominent sporting successes in recent times, with Olympic glory, Tour de France success etc. The number of cyclists that you see on the road every weekend suggests that participation is very strong too. I'm just happy that hockey is on the Beeb somewhere, and I hope in time that can open other doors for hockey on mainstream TV.

I get what you're saying but sport isn't all about winning. If sports coverage was decided by winning we wouldn't have any international football. I was just saying that thousands of fans attend and pay to watch professional hockey every week (not including NHL TV watchers) and I thought for once we could have some TV coverage.
Belated thanks for the info. I downloaded a SAFERVPN trial period of several hours.
The result was excellent. I saw all the game with only a small amount of buffering.
Unfortunately as we all know the result didn't go our way but it was exciting to watch and being in France with MNL alongside, I was able to get totally involved.
So thanks again

There is snother issue.
UK sport has a finite end point with draws signifying the end - this is not true of hockey. Therefore to show a full game the subsequent scheduling needs to be flexible ((just look at what is scheduled after an FA Cup Final). I would suggest this mitigates against any live mainstream broadcast
Highlights and edited full games are another matter and I agree we deserve more coverage
