NBC Sports Digital launched its Snapchat account, NBCSports. The account debuted in advance of the 2016 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic on New Years Day. The account took fans behind-the-scenes into NBC Sports production trucks and down onto the ice during the marquee event.

The account also showed scenes from Fan Fest at the 2016 NHL Winter Classic Spectator Plaza, and the NHL Winter Classic Alumni Game.

A day in the life with Emmy Award-winning play-by-play commentator Mike Doc' Emrick on Instagram and Twitter as he prepared for the game;
A Twitter chat with Eddie Olczyk using the AnswerCam app to record and post his answers to fans' questions. Fans were encouraged to should use #AskEdzo for a chance to have their question answered by Olczyk;
#MyWinterClassic campaign, for which fans could submit their photos and videos of what hockey means to them. Select #MyWinterClassic submissions were used on-air during the NHL Winter Classic
In addition, NBCSports.com's Pro Hockey Talk had the latest stats, news, and storylines ahead of the game, with Mike Halford and Jason Brough from PHT contributing a series of Scenes from the Winter Classic posts on-site beginning tomorrow.
