UMaine Athletics to offer free video stream of home games

The University of Maine Athletics Department announced it will offer free live video streams of its 2015–16 home events.

Black Bear fans who formerly paid to watch ice hockey and football games online will now be able to watch the home events free of charge.

“We have Black Bear fans in every state of the country as well as Canada and overseas,” says Karlton Creech, UMaine’s director of athletics. “Free streaming is one way for us to thank them for continuing to support our student-athletes and University of Maine Athletics. We are thrilled to share the excitement of home games with all of Black Bear Nation and hope it will lead to further support at our games.”

Fans interested in other sports will continue to have free access to UMaine’s America East teams through AmericaEast.TV.
