All USA games are on NHL Network, there will be a few other games as well. I haven't been able to find a schedule of all the games though.

Nhl netwok has their schedule listed thru 12/29. At first glance, it looks like more games are on than last yr.

Can you send me a link, I have literally Googled "2015 world juniors NHL Network schedule" and didn't get TV listings, instead I get the full schedule from NHL.com.

Its the full listing of nhl networks schedule. You have to filter each day and scroll thru. Not sure why they wont just put out a schedule.

Looks like two games are covered live on 12/26. The 1:00 game is shown on tape at 5:00. Three live games on 12/27. Both games are live in the 28th.

Thanks, they will probably release their schedule soon, it makes no sense not to.

The tripleheader, even though the 5:00 game is on tape delay will be nice on opening day.

For American TV, that's pretty impressive coverage. This tournament is growing with each passing year. Good to see!

Still wish it was available on one of the basic cable channels, maybe one day. Having all of these World Juniors games to watch will be great.

Problem is that you know they'll say the score of the early game during the 3:00 game, thereby ruining watching the game at 5:00

Very true. I love Gord Miller, but he's terrible for that.

Wow....just looked at it and the coverage in the States in unprecedented!! 11 of the first 14 games are covered live. On the 29th, they'll show live games at 1:00 and 4:00, cut to the end of a live game at 7:00, then show another live game at 8:00. My liver is not going to like this at all.

Great to see all this coverage in the U.S., will really help to grow the tournament down there.

I echo the positive statements about increased US TV coverage of this tournament. Been a huge hockey fan my entire life but only really got into the World Juniors around 09 and have been treated to some fantastic hockey that any fan of the game shouldn't miss.

My only plea to the NHL Network is this, please please please please please do not let EJ Hradek and Steve Mears anywhere near the broadcast booth. Both are knowledgeable hockey analysts, and should stay in the studio, where they belong.

It was all fine and good that the NHL Network broadcast games last year but I had to switch to TSN streams after about two games because these two were so awful.

I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for saying this but the hockey world is missing a well-rounded english language play by play guy who really loves and understands the international game.

Gord Miller, Doc Emrick, and Paul Romanuk are all solid in their own way, but they just don't quite cut it.

Steve Mears began his career as a play-by-play guy for the Penguins and Islanders. He does a fine job, in my opinion.

Can someone post the entire schedule of when all the games are? It would definitely help out a lot of other people too.

Thank you!!!!

Can't blame him for that - not his fault that another network is picking up TSNs coverage and showing it via Tape Delay.
Now if it was TSN is showing the game via Tape Delay and he mentions the score without giving a warning - then you can blame him - well actually sorta blame him as it would be the producer/director etc who is actually telling him to say the score.

Anyone know if NHL.com will be streaming any of the games as well?

I'd be surprised if they did

I think they streamed a few last year. I remember sneaking a game in while I was working. Unless I'm thinking of the Olympics

Seems you're right. NHL.com will be streaming the NHL Network coverage of all Team USA games from round robin play, but only Team USA games. Here's the full NHL Network WJC schedule along with that information: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=744492&navid=nhl:topheads

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

I vaguely remember watching the games on TSN.ca in the past (in the states). Am I incorrect? Are thry only available in Canada, or perhaps on tape delay?

This was maybe the case still in 2012 WJC. Now you need to authenticate via ISP subscription form, so a simple geoblock trick won't cut it.

But the on-demand archived games were freely watchable last year.
