Story Highlights

Whip-around studio shows are becoming more common in live sports these days, however, none may be as fast-paced as what ESPN produced in NHL Frozen Frenzy.

On October 22, all 32 teams in the National Hockey League were in action in a rare quirk in the schedule. To celebrate the occasion, ESPN partnered with the league to host live studio coverage on ESPN2 and ESPN+ taking fans around to all 16 games throughout the night.

On the latest episode of SVG Rewind, ESPN's Managing Producer Kevin Davies joins us to break down what it was like to produce NHL Frozen Frenzy, what roles are needed to pull off a show of this caliber, what was learned along the way, and much more.
