When BTSH moved to Tompkins Square Park in 2009, the previously dreaded late game quickly became a lot more desirable.  In addition to the obvious benefit of allowing players to sleep in from their Saturday night activities, the new location allowed more spectators to stay and cheer on the competing teams.  Bars and restaurants were now in close proximity, and league members didn’t mind watching the late game, as civilization was just a two minute walk from the court.  Combine these advantages with your humble correspondents’ increased focus on the late game matchups in the weekly previews, and the tradition of Hockey Night in Tompkins was born.

Extended coverage of the prestigious Hockey Night in Tompkins games began during the 2010 season.  Teams playing in this coveted time slot began to anticipate longer, more thorough previews written by BTSH.org’s cub reporter Jesse Kalb.  His unique style and extremely accurate “Jesse the Greek” predictions garnered him a cult-like following among even the most casual of site readers.  As a result, we at the media are extremely proud to announce that Kalb will return to cover the Hockey Night in Tompkins games in the 2011 season.

Thus, with anticipation building on who will have the privilege to compete on this league-wide stage, here is the complete Hockey Night in Tompkins schedule for the 2011 season:

All Hockey Night In Tompkins games will begin at 5:30 PM, except for March 27 and September 18, when games will begin at 4:30 PM.
