NOTICE BOARD
COVID-19 Related Postponements
Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic many of our partners have had to make difficult decisions regarding when to begin their 2020-21 seasons and/or whether to play at all. We will update this notice throughout the summer as more information becomes available.
- The WSHL announced in May that they will be going dormant for the entire 2020-21 season, but they have plans to return to the ice in Fall 2021.
- Throughout the summer many of our ACHA partners in consultation with or at the behest of their schools have made the difficult decision to forego playing games this Fall. Any games that were originally scheduled to take place have been postponed and they will not play games until January 2021 at the earliest. We will provide updates ASAP for each partner's plans to return to play. The following partners will not be playing games this Fall:
Central Michigan Univ.
Florida Gulf Coast Univ.
Grand Canyon Univ.
John Carroll Univ.
Univ. of Miami (FL)
Northern Arizona Univ.
Univ. of Oklahoma
San Jose State Univ.
Slippery Rock Univ.
Univ. of Alabama
Univ. of Tampa
Reduced Quality Notice: Partners with Low Bandwidth & Other Limitations
Due to a lack of available bandwidth at their home facilities, the following partners will produce reduced quality live streams on a regular basis. Please be aware that broadcasts from these facilities may experience picture freezing or drop out if the limited bandwidth is further compromised in any way:
None!
Additionally, the following partners who film their home and (some or all) road games may produce reduced quality live streams when broadcasting from opponents' facilities if the available bandwidth is not sufficient:
John Carroll University
San Jose State University
Slippery Rock University
University of Alabama
University of Kentucky
All games will be recorded at full resolution and will be posted on-demand ASAP after each game's conclusion. If there are any significant variations from these established limitations - including live broadcast cancellation and/or Video-On-Demand Only recordings - we will post separate notices ASAP each week. Thank you for your understanding and for your continued enjoyment of Black Dog Hockey broadcasts!
DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER!
Please note: Internet Explorer (IE) has been deprecated by Microsoft and it does NOT support HLS-based video playback. If you attempt to view content on our site with IE, it will not work.
Our main video player for live streams is an HLS-based Clappr Player which is compatible with most devices and most major web browsers, including Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. We recommend using Google Chrome on PC's, Mac's and iOS devices for the greatest viewing experience.
Android devices (including smartphones, tablets and smart TV's) may not be supported. If your device does not support our main video player, you can try our "alternate" JW Player by using the “alternate player” link located below the video player on the “universal player” page. Unfortunately, live digital video recorder (DVR) capabilities are not available on this video player.
If you have any questions about whether your chosen device/browser combination is compatible with our site, please review our FAQ page.
About Your Subscription
- Scheduled live broadcasts may start late or may be cancelled altogether, often due to reasons beyond our control. We will endeavor to inform customers of delays or cancellations as far in advance as possible through our NOTICE BOARD.
- Your 4-Hour Game Credit or 30-Day Pass can be used to access any live broadcast or any recorded game in our active VOD vaults.
- You can switch to a different game or recording at any time during your viewing session.
- 4-Hour Game Credits are activated when you log into the viewing area after making your purchase. Once logged in, your 4-hour window runs continuously until expired. Unused time cannot be saved between sessions.
- If you purchase a 4-Hour Game Credit and do not log in, it will remain in your account for use at a later time.
- If you purchase a standard 30-Day Pass and are not a current subscriber, the 30-day period begins as soon as the purchase is made.
- Standard 30-Day Passes do not auto-renew. However, if you have an active subscription, you can make a new 30-day purchase at any time and your subscription expiration date will be extended by 30 days from its current expiration (not from date of purchase).
- If you want to maintain an active subscription but don't want to make repeated purchases, you can purchase a 30-Day Pass with the auto-renew option. The credit card you provide will be automatically charged every 30 days to maintain your access to the site. You can cancel at any time or update your credit card information on the "My Account" page (click the link at the top or bottom of any page on the website). When you cancel a subscription, it will remain active until the end of the current 30-day period. There are no refunds.
- Nearly every game will be recorded and made available on-demand. On-Demand content will usually be posted at live stream quality within an hour of completion and will be posted at full resolution (often higher quality than the live stream) within 24-48 hours of completion.
- Games can be started on one device and completed on another. However, each account can only be active on one web browser and one device at a time, so be sure to log out of your account before transferring between devices and upon completion of your viewing session.
