NHL opens with digital press

A new NHL season spells a new digital frontline as part of its recent ties with BAMTech, with the league offering fans more digital access points than ever as consumption experiences broaden to a wider array of devices and platforms including live streaming, mobile app, in-venue, social media, original team content, and more. Among the new opportunities this year will be NHL.TV as it hits its first full season with the ability to watch every out-of-market game live and on demand in HD on more platforms, including the introduction of its new tvOS app for Apple TV. Meanwhile, the NHL App now stands as the official app of 25 NHL teams with new features this season allowing fans to watch two minutes of live action from every regulation period in every regular season game without blackout restrictions and access to live out-of-market games via NHL.TV.

Hockey fans attending games and other live events at participating teams’ home arenas will now have customized and comprehensive mobile app venue experiences with a brand new product called Arena. This first version will allow fans to search events with a complete calendar, buy and manage their tickets, enter with mobile tickets, get in-app notifications and promotions and order in-seat food delivery.
