"We are excited to provide this service to our loyal fans," said Scorpions Senior Vice President/General Manager Geoff Kent. "I would like to thank the Colorado Eagles and our friends at Comcast for helping to make this possible."

"We're happy to support the New Mexico Scorpions with this broadcast," said Comcast Marketlink General Manager John Hurley. "As a Scorpions corporate partner, we're thrilled to bring a live CHL game to all the hockey fans in Albuquerque."

The Scorpions also announced that they are teaming up with Charlie's Sporting Goods for a unique promotion.
