Prior to the 2009 season, teams in BTSH always dreaded seeing a late game time listed on their schedule.  With the rest of the league already at the bars, the last game of the day meant playing on an empty court and taking a lonely walk in the dark from Corlears Hook Park (or Moffo Rink) to Rivington Street.  However, when the league moved to Tompkins, the late game took on a whole new meaning.  With bars in close proximity, league members actually stayed to watch their friends compete, even after sunset, making the day’s final contest a much bigger event than it was in years past.  Combine that 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.

Thus, with anticipation building on who will have the privilege to compete on this league-wide stage, here is the Hockey Night In Tompkins schedule for the 2010 season:

All Hockey Night In Tompkins games will begin at 5:30 PM
