The NHL was no match for Alabama's A-Day spring game this weekend.

Despite the NHL having six playoff games on cable television this weekend, Alabama's spring game actually got better television ratings, according to SportsBusiness Daily. Alabama's A-Day spring game earned a 0.6 television rating on ESPN which was better than anything the NHL achieved on cable television this past weekend.

The NHL's two games on network television NBC did manage better ratings than the spring game.

Alabama also saw resurgence in attendance for its annual spring game coming off a national championship win in January. The school announced the A-Day attendance at 76,212 which was more than 11,000 more than the 2015 spring game attendance.

The White team (first-team defense) won the game, 7-3, and running back Damien Harris was named the game's most valuable player.
