Leading online retailer Amazon and the National Hockey League struck up a content deal today in which users of Amazon’s online video download service will be able to enjoy NHL videos for a fee. This new Amazon Unbox offering is available now.
Under the agreement between NHL and Amazon, the Amazon Unbox service will begin offering three or more NHL games each week during the regular season and playoffs as well as classic NHL games. Games are available for download as soon as 48 hours after game time ends for $2.99. Dozens of classic games from the NHL’s archives also are available, including "the 1994 Stanley Cup Final in which the New York Rangers defeated the Vancouver Canucks, the 1993 Western Conference Final game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Los Angeles Kings featuring Wayne Gretzky, and the 1997 Stanley Cup Final in which the Detroit Red Wings topped the Philadelphia Flyers."
