ONE World Sports Inks Multiyear Programming Agreement to Champions Hockey League

ONE World Sports, America's Network for Global Sports, today announced that it has secured a multiyear, multi-platform programming agreement with Infront Sports & Media, the exclusive media and marketing partner for the recently formed Champions Hockey League, to exclusively telecast Champions Hockey League games in the United States for the next three seasons, beginning with the League's inaugural 2014-2015 season.

The agreement includes the rights to every game starting with group play in August and concluding with the inaugural Champions Hockey League final in February, spanning over 161 games.

"We continue to deliver on our goal to bring our fans best-in-class programming from around the world," said Joel Feld, ONE World Sports' Executive Vice President, Programming and Production. "We expect that the newly founded Champions Hockey League will grow into one of the sport's premier championships."

All games on ONE World Sports will be telecast live and produced at the ONE World Sports International Broadcast Center in Stamford, CT. The full Champions Hockey League schedule and ONE World Sports' on-air talent will be announced later this summer.

The Champions Hockey League was formally announced in December 2013 by the European Ice Hockey Club Competition which comprises top European hockey clubs, six national leagues and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). It now includes 44 clubs representing 12 countries from throughout Europe, including Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic. Nearly 100 former NHL players will be playing in the Champions Hockey League.
