The National Hockey League is restarting its pandemic-era 2020 season with Grammy winner Michael Buble singing the national anthem for the opening New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes match-up on Saturday.
"With all due respect to my Korean friends, there's no way we were going to put stuffed animals in seats," Mayer says of Korean baseball filling empty stands with plush toys. The NHL, ending a four month pandemic hiatus, has instead gone to the Hollywood playbook and created giant made-for-TV sets to bring fans in over 160 countries closer to the action.
Besides additional cameras for new angles on the game action, the bubble broadcasts will include piped-in team cheers, songs and goal horns from each NHL teams as audio. And rink-level microphones will enhance the natural sounds of the game -- the stopping of metal skates on the ice, slap shots and players colliding on the boards.
Mayer as a sports fan has watched European soccer and now Major League Baseball and the NBA stateside restart their 2020 seasons amid the pandemic, and insists the NHL didn't deliberately take a different tack with its splashy TV broadcasts that resemble shiny floor talent shows. "When you saw what was happening in areas of the United States, and what was happening in Canada, it was a pretty easy decision. We went to where COVID was not a huge problem," Mayer said of choosing Toronto and Edmonton as hub cities. Then the pro league settled on a strict cordon around all NHL team players, coaches and staff, which calls for everyone to never emerge from hotels and rinks hidden behind cement blocks and black curtains to interact with the outside world.
