The Merrimack Warriors are stepping up their media presence - they announced yesterday that they will broadcast hockey games on ESPN Radio (1400 WLLH) in Lowell. It will be the first time in five years that Warriors hockey will be heard on an over-the-air station. The agreement includes coverage of home and away games. Northeastern hockey was formerly heard on WLLH, and no announcement has been made about Huskies radio broadcasts for the upcoming season. [Via Warrior Rink Rat]
