Ok, I am a big hockey fan and all things NHL. After our class discussion about youtube and the video possibilities online, I decided to check out what youtube had in terms of NHL hockey action.
Well It turns out the NHL has it very own youtube channel where they upload highlights from games across the league each night. In addition, they have a highlight package of the top 10 goals, hits, saves and games of the week for every week of the regular season and playoffs! Let’s just say I am a fan!
The ability to stream video online has increased dramatically the reach and audience that a niche sport like the NHL can now obtain. Viewers in Europe, Asia and Australia can now log on and see exactly what is happening with the NHL and see videos from every team in the league. This is a great promotional tool for a league that struggles to get air time here in America and overseas. I have heard reports that the NHL leads the sports community in online presence and with a great youtube channel I can see why that is.
So if you are interested in hockey at all or to see how a video account can bring together a world wide audience, check out the NHL channel at youtube.com
