MGM Ressorts and BetMGM recently announced that they have entered into an Extended Partnership Agreement with the National Hockey League for several years, continuing a relationship that commenced in 2018.

In terms of the agreement, both MGM brands will continue to have a marketing presence on NHL broadcasts, shows and rinks.  In addition, there will be a BetMGM odds integration for the NHL Network’s Showcase Odds segment, usually airing before a night’s matches.  The company also sponsored the NHL All-Star’s First Timers section for the weekend’s All-Stars

With a number of states in the USA legalizing sports-betting and adverting pushes are on heavy for teams and the league, betting partnerships have been huge business for the NHL.

The Canadian province of Ontario is home to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators and will also be liberating its gaming market in April, which will probably result in further marketing deals.

Evan Dobson, Vice President of Partnership Marketing at NHL said that they are thrilled to renew their partnership with MGM Resorts and BetMGM.

He went on to say that their extension enables them to continue to work together on delivering innovative content programming to connect with their passionate fans.

Dobson also said that they look forward to continuing to grow their relationship with MGM Resorts and BetMGM and collaborate on new opportunities for fan engagement.

Lance Evans, Senior VP at BetMGM Resorts said that their partnership with the NHL has been a tremendous success, allowing them to provide guests and hockey fans with unparalleled access to their favorite teams.  He added that alongside BetMGM, they remain committed to helping the league grow its audience, while offering fans new and entertaining experiences.

In terms of the new deal, PointsBet Canada will become the official sportsbetting partner for Alpine Canada Alpin (ACA), the governing body for alpine, para-alpine and ski cross racing in Canada, beginning with the current 2021-2022 season.

Therese Brisson, CEO and President of Alpine Canada, commented that Alpine Canada is thrilled to welcome PointsBet to the ACA corporate family.  She added that they are a true Canadian operator in an exciting emerging space, and their support of athletes and the ski community in Canada is a wonderful reflection of that.

Alpine Canada is home to the national alpine, para-alpine and ski cross teams that supports a number of Olympic, Paralympic, World Cup, World Championship and X Games winners.

Scott Vanderwel, CEO of PointsBet Canada, said that PointsBet Canada is committed to bringing their nation’s fans gold medal experiences, and they are excited to be partnering with their world-class Canadian skiers as they follow their dreams and represent their great country on the world stage.

Mags Doehler, VP of Partnerships and Marketing at Alpine Canada, said it was important for ACA to partner with an operator with a stellar track record as a safe, legal market operator.

Nil Sulsky, COO of PointsBet Canada, added that having lived in Mont-Tremblant, he loved watching and cheering on world champions like Erik Guay.  He also said that the speed and excitement of ski racing is unparalleled, which is why they jumped at the opportunity to partner with Alpine Canada.

Sulsky added that he cannot wait to cheer on the twenty-one skiers nominated to represent Canada at the Beijing 2022 Olympics and beyond.
