It will broadcast six live games per week as well as coverage of the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoff and the finals.
Jeroen Oerlemans, vice-president and head of channels, ESPN, Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “We’re very excited about continuing coverage of the NHL on ESPN America for millions of sports fans across Europe. We know that hockey has a passionate and loyal following and we will continue to serve them with great games and coverage.”
