U20 Ice Hockey World Junior Championship in Edmonton, Canada:
All the games of the Swiss national team live on MySports
From 25 December 2020 to 6 January 2021, the Swiss U20 ice hockey team will be fighting for the title of World Champion in Edmonton, Canada. MySports will be broadcasting all the Swiss games as well as selected preliminary round games and the final live. And of course there will be insights from Reto Müller and the team in the studio. There will also be a unique "Daily-Bubble-Online-Show" with Lars Nay.
After losing in the quarter finals to finish fifth at last year's World Championship, the current players led by Head Coach Marco Bayer want to make even better use of their potential and give their very best in an international showcase event. The importance to Swiss ice hockey of broadcasting this tournament cannot be overstated. The U20 World Championship is increasingly becoming the leading showcase for talents on the international hockey scene and one of the most important events in international ice hockey.
Studio broadcasts, analyses and expert discussions
MySports is fully aware of the sporting significance of this tournament and, between 25 December 2020 and 6 January 2021, will broadcast all the games of the Swiss team as well as the final live. All games starting before 9.30 p.m. will also involve a studio broadcast hosted by Reto Müller, complete with analyses and expert discussion. Commentary from Edmonton will be provided by Thomas Rottmeier and Matthias Hagmann.
Throughout the tournament, MySports reporter Lars Nay will also provide insights from within the Swiss camp via the broadcaster's social media channels. As part of a daily morning show, Lars will provide fans with information from the bubble in Edmonton including video call interviews, personal information from the team camp and analyses from the specially set-up U20 studio.
Making the best possible use of synergies between TV formats and digital media
According to MySports Editor-in-Chief and Programme Manager, Toby Stüssi, the U20 World Championship 2021 represents a unique opportunity: "With the cancellation of numerous other sporting events due to COVID, we are the only broadcaster in Switzerland to be able to offer a major global sporting event live during the festive season. Furthermore, the U20 World Championship offers us the chance to make the best possible use of the synergies between the traditional TV platform and digital media."
