NeuLion announces a new long-term partnership with the American Hockey League to bring a one-of-a-kind online experience to fans worldwide using NeuLion technology beginning with the 2008-09 season.
AHL Live is now available via
ahllive.com showcasing high-quality live AHL games not available anywhere else on the Internet. AHL Live offers hockey fans an opportunity to tune into their favorite team with a simple Internet connection. This subscription-based service gives fans an all-access pass to watch live games for the entire season or on a pay-per-view basis, as well as access to live game audio and archived games.
AHL Live will capture each of the league's 29 clubs and stream 1,160 games throughout the AHL season, which began on October 8. This exclusive service is the only way fans can watch live games online, where the viewing experience expands the reach of the AHL to a global audience.
Individual games are available for $6 each, and a team season pass is just $140 for 80 regular-season broadcasts (all prices US). Calder Cup Playoff games and the annual AHL All-Star Classic will also be available.
NeuLion and the AHL plan to offer additional service features such as game highlights, player interviews and features, video on demand and other behind-the-scenes video in the near future.
