Elite League ice hockey will have a new weekly highlights show starting on Thursday night.
Facing Off will be available in 19 million homes across the UK and Northern Ireland on Freeview, FreeSat, Talk Talk/BT and Sky, on new sports channel Front Runner.
The one-hour show will feature all ten Elite League teams, including Edinburgh Capitals, with the best of the action from the matches across, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The programme will be shown at 6pm on Thursdays, 10pm on Fridays and 9am on Saturdays. The first show will be on tonight Thursday 8 December 2016.
Elite League director, Neil Black, said: “This it is very important because we have been off the screens so far this season and we have been pretty invisible the last few years on free-to-air TV.”
The programme will be made by production company Televideo which has had a long relationship with ice hockey having previously made shows for Sky Sports.
Front Runner broadcasts on a number of platforms and is available on SKY ch468, Freesat ch250, Freeview ch91, Talk Talk/ BT ch91.
