NBC To Televise 16 Olympic Women's Games
Granato, Mleczko Join Broadcast Team
Compiled by USCHO Staff

NBC has announced its 2006 Winter Olympic television schedule featuring live coverage of all preliminary and medal round women's hockey games.

The gold medal game will be presented live on NBC, Monday, Feb. 20. All U.S. games prior to the final will be televised on the USA Network. All other games not featuring the U.S. will be televised on CNBC or MSNBC.

Mike Emrick (play-by-play) will pair with two-time Olympian A.J. Mleczko (Harvard '99) as the lead team on women's games, with Pierre McGuire reporting.

Bill Clement, the former NHL All-Star and "NHL on NBC" host, will host hockey coverage on USA, MSNBC and CNBC, his fourth Olympic broadcast assignment and third for NBC. Long-time U.S. captain Cammi Granato (Providence '93) will work with Clement for women's games.

The U.S. roster features six players with remaining collegiate eligibility, and 10 players who graduated from a U.S. college since the last Olympics. The Canadian roster features four players with remaining collegiate eligibility, and six other alumni of U.S. colleges. Across the two premier Olympic rosters, Harvard is the school best represented with six veterans. Minnesota, Brown, and Dartmouth each have five. All of Minnesota's Olympians play for the U.S.

Minnesota-Duluth could have as many as 10 representatives on six different Olympic teams. Current UMD freshman forward Michaela Lanzl will be featured on the German Olympic team. Several UMD players are also in contention for the Finnish team, which has yet to be finalized. UMD alumni have already been named to both the Swiss, Swedish, U.S. and Canadian national teams.
