Box To Box has revolutionized modern storytelling for Formula 1, golf and tennis,» said NHL chief content officer & senior executive vice president Steve Mayer in a statement released Thursday. «With the full support of the League, players, coaches and owners, we welcome the opportunity to showcase our stars and the greatest season and postseason in sports – the Stanley Cup Playoffs – to a global audience.»
«We want to stay true to the world of ice hockey with the series. The sport is as beautiful, skillful and graceful, as it is brutal, pressurized and powerful; and we aim to balance the energetic and fast-paced action leading up to the Stanley Cup Final, with the quiet and raw drama taking place off the ice,» Paul Martin, Box To Box Films co-founder and executive producer, said.
In 69 games this year, Trouba had three goals, 19 assists and 22 points. The 30-year-old defenseman also won the Mark Messier Leadership Award, a high honor that recognizes an individual as a superior leader within their sport, and as a contributing member of society.
