32 Teams Battle To Win The Historic Stanley Cup
#1) Option: Sky Sports Now Package
When we moved to New Zealand we found it difficult to watch North American sports because (1) the time zone difference puts the games in the morning/afternoon. (2) most sports bars in NZ only show one stream across all of their TVs (usually rugby coverage on Sky Sports).
Therefore, for true NHL fans in NZ we recommend you >buy a 1 month pass< to Sky Sports Now NZ.
Sky Sports Now Gives You Access To:
ESPN 1 + 2 - Home of the 2024 NHL in NZ/AUS
Sky Sports Channels - showcasing rugby and European sports
Stream the games on your phone/pc
Start from beginning of the game feature
* BORDERSOLOGY IS NOT AN AFFILIATE OF SKY SPORTS, WE PAY FOR THEIR SERVICES*
