‘This Is Hockey’ series highlights growth of game in Latin America, Caribbean

[ad_1]

Teams representing Brazil and Colombia will see the episodes about their countries during the LATAM Cup tournament, which runs through Sunday at the Florida Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs and the Baptist Health IcePlex, the practice facility of the 2024 Stanley Cup champions.

The NHL, NHL Players Association through the Industy Growth Fund, and the Panthers are sponsors of the tournament.

The idea for the series, funded through the IGF, originated with Collin Kornfeind, senior producer/editor for NHL Productions, and Donny Khan, NHL Senior Director of Hockey Development & Strategic Collaboration.

They had attended or covered the LATAM Cup several times since it was founded in 2018 by Juan Carlos Otero, and were impressed by the passion and pride of players from the so-called non-traditional hockey markets.

Kornfeind and Khan traveled to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Mexico to film and let players and organizers explain their love for the sport.

“The tournament showcases that hockey is being played all over the world,” Khan said. "I think this is an authentic way for us to make an authentic connection that the NHL is truly interested in expanding our fanbase and that we welcome people who love the game, no matter where you are. We had this idea to better make that connection by going to some of the countries where some of these teams that play in the LATAM Cup are coming from.”
