The Great Outdoors

Behold, for I bring you tidings of great joy! Earlier this week, the National Hockey League announced their hotly anticipated partnership with the Outdoor Life Network. In a deal that has twice been described as multifaceted, the Outdoor Life Network will air at least 58 games across the United States, beginning with the Rangers @ Flyers contest on October 5^th.

Realizing the essential role of the Outdoor Life Network in the surging popularity of bull riding and cross-country cycling in the States, NHL Commisioner Gary Bettman proudly announced that "[w]e recognize and appreciate that Comcast is making a tremendous investment in the NHL and that hockey will be a priority on OLN."

Games will be available in High Definition through Comcast's Video On Demand, which means that both hockey fans across the country will spend the next six weeks shopping online for HDTVs.

In a related development, the Outdoor Life Network has followed the lead of its television rival The Nashville Network, and is now simply known as OLN. Several years ago, The Nashville Network acquired the television rights for the WWF. Quickly realizing their mistake, they bought out the contract and signed a television deal with the World Wrestling Federation.
