Laval Rocket: 2024-25 Laval Rocket Thread

[Adam Michaels]

that pricing tho

It's insane. I won't be subscribing. AHL TV was around $85 CAD a year for the One-Team Home & Away Package because I only cared about watching the Rocket.

Now I'm forced to either pay $40/month or $204/year CAD only because there are leagues in the package I care nothing about. I can watch 3R play games since the ECHL is also offered. But not enough to warrant paying that much.

They have NCAA hockey, but it's Atlantic Hockey and the CCHA conferences, where there are zero Habs prospects. They have the USHL (0 Habs prospects). They have the BCHL, which feature Merrill and Vecvanags. But again, not enough to warrant paying that much.

So I'll have to lean on highlights for away games and catch RDS or RDS2 for the home games.

Just saw the email and came to say the same thing.

It's costing almost as much as it is to get sportsnet and tsn to watch NHL games.

They're not doing too well in the thinking department

I am a lunatic and will probably subscribe.

Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be subscribing for that price. That’s just ridiculous that they’d go from $85 to $204 for those levels of hockey. Just when Laval could be really good this year as well. It sucks. So it’s all or nothing with this? You can’t pick your team?

No. That is not an available option. You either subscribe for the whole thing or you don't subscribe at all.

At least RDS has the home games. So at least we have half the season.

 

[montreal]

I'll have all the Laval games so save your money as that shit is expensive as f*** just to watch AHL and some USHL/BCHL. I likely will skip out on the CHL package this year though as I'm not overpaying for both of them.

 

[ahmedou]

36 Laval Rocket home games will be broadcasted on RDS for season 24/25.

8th consecutive seasons of the Laval Rocket on RDS.

 

[JT3]

Yeah I won't be subbing this year at that cost. AHLTV may have had its issues but at least it was cheap. I guess I'll try to sail the seas to get my occasional fix if needed.

 

[Tyson]

Is Gabriel Bourque playing in Laval this year?

 

[Treb]

No, he doesn't have a contract.

 

[Treb]

I wonder who the C and A will be.

I'm guessing Gignac as captain with some of Dauphin, Condotta, Simoneau, Arseneau or Wotherspoon as assistants.

These are all vets, but what if they gave an A to Mailloux, assuming he starts in the AHL?

Of course it's mostly vets, Captaincy is about leadership and experience, not skill.

If a kid gets it, I would see it being Beck way before Mailloux.

Well, Mailloux got the C this weekend, not Beck. And Mailloux has a year of experience in the AHL. In any case I think it would be awesome that one of the kids be recognized as part of the leadership group.

I'm now debating about getting it.


They know how to get my half-assed money.
