Animated NHL Games to be Introduced in Real-Time by Boston Bruins, NESN, and the NHL in the Local Region
The Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers are set to take centre stage in an exciting animated game titled "Best Snow Day Ever," produced by the Boston Bruins, NESN, and the National Hockey League. This innovative animated data visualization is part of the Bruins' and NESN's ongoing commitment to engage and educate children through sports.
The animated game, scheduled to air on March 11 at 7 p.m. ET locally on NESN+ and the NESN 360 app, will not only provide entertainment but also serve as an educational tool. It will incorporate STEM-focused lessons using hockey as a vehicle, emphasising the connection between sports and STEM.
The game features an animated version of a NHL game between the Bruins and the Panthers, showcasing local landmarks, history, and culture in Boston. The on-ice action ties back to STEM lessons, making the game a fun and engaging way for kids to learn.
Josh Jun, vice president of content for NESN, stated that the animated data visualization provides an opportunity to reach kids in a fun, relevant, and educational way. NESN reporter Adam Pellerin will lead the animated play-by-play, while former Bruin and 2011 Stanley Cup Champion Andrew Ference will provide analysis.
TD Bank, Rapid7, and JetBlue are supporting the initiative with integrations throughout the animated broadcast. The main broadcast of the Bruins-Panthers game will also be on NESN.
This is the first time one of these games has been done regionally. The Bruins Academy, the team's youth hockey programs, offer free curriculum materials that integrate hockey with STEM-focused lesson plans.
NESN's weekly show, NESN Clubhouse, gives kids a backstage look at the skills, technology, and fitness necessary to be a professional athlete. The animated program is part of the NHL's efforts to engage young fans and families, continuing its commitment to providing engaging and educational content.
While there is no information available regarding a fan-created, promotional, or hypothetical project, it is best to consult the latest NHL media releases or the team's official websites for announcements regarding new content. For official NHL programming, it is crucial to verify the information from reliable sources.
