HBO Canada has announced that the National Hockey League will get the “24/7” treatment. The Pitsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals will have their rivalry filmed, and documented in a four part series to air “North and South of the border.”
The 24/7 series has done documentaries, in the past, has gone behind the scenes with boxers Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather, and NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson. This is the first time the NHL will be the subject of the series. Many are hoping this gives Hockey some much needed publicity. The hockey special debuts Dec. 15 on HBO Canada HD, and will be available on demand and online following its network premiere.
The series is supposed to depict the rivalry between the two teams. It will contain Interviews and behind the scenes footage of both sides, and contain exclusive interviews of players, coaches, and front office staff.
The Penguins are off to a rough start in 2010-11 season. So far they have only amassed one with out of the four games they have played so far. They managed to defeat the New Jersey Devils in the third game of the season 3 to 1. The Capitals have only dropped on game so far, and have won 3 out of the four games they have played.
The series will film the run up to the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic 2011. The game will take place out side at Heinze Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is the second time the Penguins will be in the winter classic, and the first for the Capitals.
