HBO to air NHL centred mini-series

By

PITTSBURGH (NEWS1130) – American TV channel HBO is giving the NHL some love.

Documentary crews are going to follow the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals in December, filming a mini-series that will air in the lead-up to the teams playing in the annual Winter Classic.

The series will be shot like the popular “Hard Knocks” series HBO produced, with film crews at NFL training camps. Players will wear microphones on and off the ice, with one of the main focuses expected to be the December 23rd game between the two teams.

The series will air towards the end of December and wrap up before the January 1st outdoor game.
