The NHL
When the National Hockey League approached us during the initial planning stages for their Return To Play we faced one of our most challenging design & production feats to date. While no major League had returned to play, we knew that this problem would be solved in a variety of different ways in the months ahead. Our goal was to produce the best answer for the National Hockey League. Knowing that fan energy has always been an integral part of the game experience, how could we replace it while enhancing the at-home fan experience? Read The Case Study
