With the NHL looking to expand worldwide, the league has announced a new broadcasting partnership with DAZN that is going to change the sport for the better.
Hockey is a worldwide sport that appeals to various countries. However, if you live outside of North America, it can be difficult to watch the games.
Now, the NHL is trying to change that as it will be migrating its NHL.tv product over to DAZN, one of the world's leaders in sports broadcasting.
Today, both sides announced a multi-year deal that will bring NHL games to over 200 countries.

This is one of those moves that could change the NHL forever, in a positive way.
If you are serious about growing the game, then this is how you're going to have to do it.
Per DAZN CEO Shay Segev:
DAZN's landmark agreement with the NHL is a significant step forward in our mission to deliver the most exciting sports action to fans across the globe. We're excited to bring a premium North American sports property to a broad international audience through an innovative, accessible, and immersive viewing experience. By combining the NHL's thrilling content with DAZN's global platform and best-in-class technology, we're unlocking new ways for fans to connect with the game they love -- anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
Per NHL Chief Operating Officer Steve McArdle:
The NHL is a global League, and with 30 percent of our Players born outside of North America, engaging our international fans is a significant priority. Media distribution is at the core of our global strategy, and we are thrilled to partner with DAZN to continue to expand our global reach and engage with our fast-growing international fan base. Our shared commitment to innovation, gold standard technology and providing an exceptional content delivery service will allow us to deliver NHL content to hockey fans around the world on the platforms they prefer.
Only time will tell whether or not this turns out to be a real success, or a failed gimmick.
