NESN and TSN to air this weekend’s Friendship Four in Belfast

BELFAST – Northeastern men's hockey fans will have the opportunity to catch the Huskies in action this weekend at the first-ever Friendship Four in Belfast, Northern Ireland on NESN and TSN, which will broadcast all four games during the two-day tournament.
 
NESN will air both semifinal games on Friday, including Northeastern vs. No. 4 UMass Lowell at 2:30 p.m. (ET). Prior to the Huskies-River Hawks puck drop, Brown and Colgate will take the ice in the first semifinal. NESNplus will air the third place game on Saturday at 11 a.m. (ET) prior to the championship game will be carried live on NESN at 2:30 p.m. (ET). Seth Bennett and Aaron Murphy will have the call for all four games, which will also be broadcast on TSN networks.
 
Bennett is an award winning television and radio broadcaster and sports journalist, who spent 12 years with BBC Radio Sheffield before turning to a freelance career. Fans are currently likely to hear him reporting the sports news for BBC 5Live, World Service and Radio 4. He also makes regular special features for the Sky Sports Elite League Ice Hockey Show. Bennett began his career at Radio Sheffield at age 20, when he became the station's ice hockey correspondent, providing commentary and interviews on the Sheffield Steelers. This led to the opportunity to commentate on Channel 4's coverage of the ice hockey Challenge Cup.
 
Over the past few years, Murphy has covered the NHL Premiere events in Europe, NHL All-Star games in Raleigh and Ottawa, and the Stanley Cup Final in Boston in 2011, New Jersey 2012, and Boston again in 2013.
