NHL fans will be able to tune into the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic 2009 on New Year's Day on their wireless phones with V CAST Video from Verizon Wireless.
At 1 p.m. ET on Jan. 1, the Chicago Blackhawks will host the Detroit Red Wings in the league's annual outdoor game to be played this season at Wrigley Field, home of MLB's Chicago Cubs. The game will be streamed in its entirety and can be found under the "What's Hot" channel on V CAST Video.
"We know people like to watch sports and get the latest scores when mobile, so it's a great match," said Debra Lewis, spokeswoman for Verizon, Basking Ridge, NJ. "V CAST Video has also started offering more long-form programming, including full episodes of highly-rated shows, so we think this game is another great example of giving customers programming they want in the form they want it.
"And, this is just part of our overall relationship with the NHL -- no news on what might be coming in the future," she said. "This is the first game to be shown on V CAST Video, although some games may have appeared on V CAST Mobile TV, which is a different service."
Verizon Wireless is teaming with the National Hockey League to bring both avid hockey fans and casual sports enthusiasts the opportunity to watch the game on New Year's Day.
