NHL Upgrades TV Apps With Enhanced Highlights, Condensed Games, and More

The National Hockey League and ViewLift have relaunched NHL, free apps available across a range of device platforms that allow hockey fans to create a customized feed of the latest highlights, condensed games, features, and other content.

The new, upgraded apps can be downloaded via Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV and Roku, each with a unique native User Interface (UI) developed by ViewLift to enable fans to select their favorite teams so they can access related video content on the app’s homepage.

On top of the customized team feeds, the apps showcase League-wide content, including general highlights from all games, must-watch moments, top goals, saves and plays, and “Weird NHL” – humorous and quirky features.

The NHL app on connected TVs will give hockey fans plenty of content to consume with a new, easy user interface.

“The redesigned NHL app gives fans easy and engaging destinations to catch all the latest highlights and recaps of their home teams and the League overall,” says Nili Doft, NHL Senior Vice President, Digital Media. “ViewLift’s expertise in sports streaming is ensuring that we can curate and present compelling content to our fans.”

“The NHL has taken hockey’s speed and athleticism to elevated levels, and these new-look NHL apps on major large-screen devices bring the action to fans around the world,” notes Rick Allen, ViewLift’s Chief Executive Officer. “With must-see hockey content, this is a real treat for sports fans as we head into the holidays.”
