  U Mass Lowell hockey was on WLLH with Bob Ellis handling the play by play
from the mid to late 80's (can't remember exactly when)  till the sale to
Mega, when he took over PBP duties on WJUL. Prior to Ellis' arrival at 91.5,
they had only carried mostly home hockey games with student announcers. Now
Ellis handles PBP with a student assisting with color commentary.

   And prior to WLLH's run as U Mass Lowell hockey home, the games were on
WCAP. IIRC, they had the games starting with the 1980-81 season (WCAP went
to 5KW fulltime in Oct.1980) and had the games till WLLH took over. I recall
that Chuck Jenest (sp? ) did the games on 980 at some point, I can't recall
who else did PBP during WCAP's run of UML hockey. I'm sure Bill O' Neill can
help my fuzzy memory. At least I hope he can....
