The Australian Hockey League (AIHL) just secured a significant victory with Sportradar! They have partnered to bring Australian hockey to an international audience. This agreement, spanning multiple years, grants Sportradar permission to distribute AIHL data and streaming content globally, excluding Australia and New Zealand.
Imagine this: Sportradar is providing the AIHL with a suite of advanced technologies to enhance the spectator experience. Among these tools is “Connected Stadiums,” a revolutionary system that captures live game footage and elevates video production quality. They aim to implement this in a minimum of six venues by 2024, including Melbourne’s renowned O’Brien Icehouse.
Moreover, the AIHL will gain access to Sportradar’s cutting-edge match manipulation detection system, guaranteeing fair competition on the ice.
This collaboration is momentous, representing Sportradar’s tenth partnership with hockey leagues worldwide. They already collaborate with prominent organizations like the NHL and CHL, placing the AIHL in capable hands.
This innovative approach is revolutionary for our organization. It will be essential in drawing in a larger audience for the Australian Ice Hockey League and truly establishing the sport’s presence both within Australia and internationally,” remarked an enthusiastic [Spokesperson’s name], spokesperson for the AIHL. “This collaboration demonstrates how our capabilities can bolster sports entities, particularly in this geographic area.”
Peter Hartshorne, AIHL Chairman, continued, “We are on a positive upward path, with plans to incorporate two additional teams over the next three years. Collaborating with Sportradar, an international frontrunner with a demonstrated history of success, is vital to realizing the AIHL’s complete commercial possibilities and attaining our ambitious objectives.”
