Hey Im currently running a website and was wondering what would it necessarily take to get internet broadcasts some hockey games on my website? The site I run is for the league itself and I know there are a couple radio stations broadcasting games on the radio but was wondering what it would take to get those broadcasts online?

You would have to turn the analog data into streaming media of some sort. You would also need a license from the league and a contract with the radio station.

Tried to post a couple of days ago but wouldn't let me 
Go to Winamp site and download Winamp 2 (latest version) and Shoutcast DSP plugin and Shoutcast server. Read the readme files on the site and set it up. It's very easy.
I broadcast live DJ mixes using this. It just takes the analog input from your soundcard and encodes it as MP3 on the fly. You can specify the bitrate in the setup as this will affect the total number of listeners who can access it if your running the server locally. If it's just voice then 24kbps mono will suffice which means roughly 10 listeners from 256k upstream line. It will also re-encode any other format so if you have pre-recorded stuff as .rm or .wav you can re-broadcast as streaming mp3.
Hope that's a help
