The International Hockey Federation (FIH) and its partner Endeavor Streaming are delighted to announce that the recent launch of the reimagined Watch.Hockey service was truly successful.
The strong overachievement in subscription numbers during June is a clear indicator of the platform’s growing success and global acceptance.
Thanks to the Watch.Hockey platform, fans from around the world* were able to enjoy seamless access to live and on-demand coverage of all FIH events held in June, delivering an exceptional viewing experience across devices.
They could also benefit from powerful new features such as a playback control enabling them to move back in time within the video, or the possibility to cast videos from their mobile device to Chromecast and Airplay compatible TV.
Numerous positive comments were received from every corner of the global hockey community.
Team USA player Aki Kaeppeler said: “I really like that Watch.Hockey is back. Makes it super easy to follow everything that is going on and watch all the games and even highlights. Plus, rewatch if I’ve missed something or want to just see something I couldn’t watch because of the time difference or my own trainings etc. It’s also awesome that everything international is on one website so I don’t need to figure out who is streaming what or where to watch it. Plus, the deal at the beginning of the Pro League was nice and affordable.”
“The Watch.Hockey app has given us the opportunity to watch hockey from around the world, allowing fans to support their teams and families who cannot travel. It has made the game more accessible and engaging by offering live games and replays. What I love most is the ability to go back and rewatch games, as well as how affordable the app is. I also love staying connected with all the international competitions, such as the Pro League and other tournaments happening globally”, South African player Edith Molikoe.
“Watch.hockey this season looked fantastic and worked really well. It was finally fantastic to be able to open the app, click on a live game and watch. Phenomenal improvement on previous years. Really well done FIH!!”, said FIH Coach of the Year Alyson Annan about the new Watch.Hockey.
“I watched the games on the new Watch.Hockey platform and was very satisfied with the high video quality and smooth access”, said Yoki Sakamoto, Director General of the Japanese Hockey Association.
“The app is very fluid and well-organized. The content is rich, and the fact that you don’t have to use the scores for replays is great!”, emailed a hockey fan from Europe.
This positive outcome enabled it to reach much higher audiences than in the past, therefore contributing significantly to one of the main objectives of Watch.Hockey, namely, to promote hockey worldwide.
Watch.Hockey is available on web, iOS (App Store), Android (Play Store), Apple TV, Android TV and Amazon Firestick. Beyond live and on demand matches, it also offers live stats, extended match highlights and an extended library of videos on demand.
