How to watch NCAA men's hockey championship from anywhere
If you're going to be traveling outside of the US during the championship and still want to use your streaming services, you can try out a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are easy ways to change the virtual location on your electronic devices so that you can access websites and apps that might not be available where you're vacationing. This suggestion is best for Americans who are simply out of the country at the moment since all of the streaming services we've recommended require US forms of payment.
