From NHL.com’s Dan Rosen:
John Collins, Chief Operating Officer of the NHL, knows this not from just being an avid viewer, but from experience. As part of his gig during his 15-year tenure at the National Football League, Collins worked hand-in-hand with NFL Films President Steve Sabol and HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg to make sure the phenomenon that is “Hard Knocks” got launched properly in 2001.
He’s at it again, and Collins thinks the upcoming “24/7 Penguins/Capitals: Road to the Winter Classic,” a joint venture between the League and HBO Sports, is can’t-miss programming for the NHL and its fans.
The “24/7” program will offer fans four shows of unprecedented access into the world of the NHL’s best present day rivalry starting in December and running through the 2011 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic on Jan. 1 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. HBO episodes are scheduled for Dec. 15, 22, 29 and Jan. 5 (all at 10 p.m. ET, with encores at 11 p.m. ET each of those nights)
