Thanks, Kevin. Those are good points on the delay.

You might be able to find an app to get the hockey game, but the audio will probably lag behind the live action. This is due to the internet relaying the audio from the arena to a server somewhere on Earth, and then it’s relayed through other servers back to you. I don’t fully understand why this is the case, since VOIP programs like Skype give almost instant communications between computers over great distances. Wish I had better news. If it were me I’d invest a few dollars on an inexpensive radio to get the game. Oh yeah, speaking of getting the game over the air, some stations delay the over the air broadcast for at least seven seconds, and maybe even more. I think they do this so if the mics that pick up the action in the arena catch one of those words that you don’t use on the radio, the station can hit a button to cut the offending word from going over the air. I experienced this at a Kentucky Basketball game. I had a radio with me to hear the game. The crowd would get excited about something that happened, and about fifteen seconds later I’d hear what happened to get them so excited. Some venues have a transmitter that is designed to cover only the inside of the arena, and you tune to that frequency to hear the game. Whatever you do, good luck. You might want to contact either the Avalanche team, the arena where they play, or the radio station that broadcasts the game and see what’s available. Who knows. There may indeed be an app that will do exactly what you desire. I’m just telling you what I’ve experienced. Have a blessed day, and don’t work too hard.
