The fast-paced league has a few tweaks this season, the most significant being the length of the tournament, where the games are being played and how they are broadcast.<\/p>\n
3ICE moves to the Midwest after playing over five weeks last season in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at Baptist Health IcePlex, the practice facility of the Florida Panthers.<\/p>\n
\u201cXtream is a really great state-of-the-art arena that just looks great on television,\u201d 3ICE founder and CEO E.J. Johnston said. \u201cIt’s a great building, it\u2019s the right size and it’s fully wired.\u201d<\/p>\n
The games will be taped and delivered to air in five three-hour episodes that will appear on NHL Network, NHL YouTube, FanDuel Sports Network, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Game+ and DAZN in Canada along with regional sports networks like Altitude, NESN, MSG, Sportsnet Pittsburgh and others.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re in about 70-75 million households in the U.S., another 10 to 15 million in Canada,\u201d said Johnston, a reality TV producer and son of former NHL goalie and executive Eddie Johnston. \u201cWe’re really excited about this.\u201d<\/p>\n
