Nice. Usually team has to be an original 6 or in an outdoor game to get such coverage. (Did part of the $500mm help pay for this?)
Video series premiering 11/8.
From press release:
Social video brand NowThis and the National Hockey League are launching Home Team: The Las Vegas Golden Knights, a Facebook Watch series that tracks the debut of the Vegas NHL franchise and its response to the Oct. 1 mass shooting at a country music festival. (See trailer below.)
Co-produced by NHL Original Productions, the series will premiere on Wednesday, Nov. 8, with weekly episodes posting to Watch over the next five weeks. NowThis, the top engine of social video with more than 2.5 billion monthly views, is part of Group Nine Media, a digital holding company whose investors include Discovery Communications.
The makers of Home Team set out to embed with the Golden Knights during their first training camp, presenting a portrait of the first professional sports franchise to be based in Las Vegas. As crews were filming, the shooting on Oct. 1, which killed 58 people and wounded 500, cast the team’s fledgling ties to the community in a completely new light. The series sets out to show how sports can help a community rally during a time of crisis.”
