(KMOX) - This Sunday's matchup between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks will be the first time ever that an all-female crew will broadcast and produce an NHL telecast.
The March 8 game on NBCSN, which is also International Women’s Day will include nods to those who have made their mark on women’s hockey, and sports in general, with the hopes to inspire future generations of women to excel on the ice and behind the scenes, according to NBC Sports.
In addition to the game elements, NBC Sports’ female-empowerment brand On Her Turf will surround the broadcast with content featuring women in hockey in various ways including the Hockey is for Her digital video franchise and behind-the-scenes content through @OnHerTurf on Instagram.
