The previous video was of HBO's 24/7 Pengiuns/Capitals: Road to the NHL Winter Classic. HBO's 24/7 is an American reality television series that follows sportsmen, and sporting organizations, for a period of weeks in the lead up to a major sporting event. The show premiered with episodes featuring pairs of boxers as they prepare for their upcoming boxing match against one another. More recently it has expanded to other sport rivalries as well with NASCAR and the rivalry leading up to the 2011 NHL Winter Classic. Each edition of the show is generally split up into three to four episodes, and is narrated by Liev Schreiber.
The shows historically have focused on boxing, but now cover other sports. In December 2010, a special 24/7 featured the rivalry between the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals in the lead up to the 2011 NHL Winter Classic at Heinz Field on January 1, 2011. The hockey episodes paid special attention to the player rivalry between Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.
This this new exposure, the NHL has gained more popularity throughout the United States. Without the technology of cameras audiences would not have been able to see a behind the scenes look at the world of professional hockey in the NHL.
