NHL's Web Video Gets More Social

The National Hockey League has pulled back the curtains on a new video player, replete with more original content and more sharing features designed to further infiltrate the Web’s top social networks.

The new NHL VideoCenter product, developed by the IPTV tech provider NeuLion, essentially replaces NHL Network Online, NHL.com’s original video platform.

Besides game highlights and interviews, VideoCenter offers fans three new channels: NHL Shootout Channel, which deliver full-length coverage of games that end with shootouts; NHL Press Room, for live press conferences; and NHL Library, an archive of clips.

VideoCenter also promises a larger video screen, faster loading times and more useful search, according to league officials.
