Story Highlights
The National Hockey League was the last of the four major U.S. sports leagues to host a non-bubble regular season. As fans gradually make their return to the seats, how is that affecting in-venue productions and digital content? Similar to At the Ballpark, On the Gridiron, and On the Hardwood, At the Rink looks at the operations of NHL organizations to see how they are coping with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and adapting to a sense of normalcy. SVG Associate Editor Kristian Hernandez and Director of Digital Brandon Costa spoke with personnel from the Avalanche, Blackhawks, Canadiens, Capitals, Ducks, Flames, Flyers, Golden Knights, Hurricanes, Jets, Kings, Lightning, Maple Leafs, Predators, Red Wings, Sharks, and Stars to learn about video operations in 2021.
