Hockey moves fast, and so does the schedule
An NHL season packs in a lot of games, often on weeknights when you've got plenty else going on. Between work, dinner and everything else, it's easy to lose track of when your team takes the ice.
And hockey doesn't wait. A game can turn in a couple of minutes, and the intermissions are just long enough to wander off and forget to come back. Miss the start of a period and you might miss the goal that decides it.
Heading to overtime? Turn on the OT alert and Sports Alarm will let you know when a tied game goes to overtime, so you're back in front of the screen for the finish.
