It turns out that the Jan. 4 Wisconsin game against Colorado College won’t be televised by the Big Ten Network. That was scheduled to be the network’s first hockey game of the new year and the first of eight broadcasts in the second half of the season. Now, the BTN schedule shows only four games.
A Big Ten Network spokesperson said the games were removed from the schedule because of logistical issues with production trucks and equipment being needed at other televised events.
