Q: Can I subscribe to the NVHC calendar with my Google calendar?

A: Yes, here is how.   You can access the Google calender through the Master Schedule tab that can be found in the left tab menu of the website. In order to access the feature you need to have schedules/games entered into the system so that a master schedule appears.  Once games are displayed a button titled "Subscribe/Download Schedule" should appear below the mini numerical schedule on the left.  Click this button and then RIGHT click on the link "Copy this link into your calendar program to subscribe to this schedule" and select "Copy Link Location".  Then do exactly as that link describes and paste the link into your calendar program (Google Calendar) to subscribe to the schedule.
