Burnaby, BC  and Boston, MA – FASTHockey.com and Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc. (INSINC) today announced a broadcast partnership to deliver live and archived Internet pay-per-view (PPV) broadband video services to 74 junior hockey teams in four leagues.  FASTHockey and INSINC will webcast all regular season, tournament, and playoff games under a long-term exclusive agreement.

Deployment of webcasting equipment into over 50 venues is already underway.   Broadband Internet games will soon be online for forty-one teams in the Atlantic Metropolitan League (comprised of the Atlantic Junior League and Metropolitan Junior Hockey League); nineteen teams in the Empire Junior Hockey League; and fourteen teams in the Eastern Junior Hockey League.

INSINC, a pioneer in the delivery of streaming media, is excited to be partnering with FASTHockey.  “Top level Junior hockey content has a strong fan base and is increasingly in high demand from Internet-savvy  fans.  Parents, and coaches also greatly appreciate this kind of service.  The FASTHockey platform includes a comprehensive suite of services for fans, players and coaches – the next logical extension was to incorporate live game coverage,” commented INSINC President, Hugh Dobbie.

“We are happy to be incorporating live PPV into our platform.  In the first season alone we expect to cover over 1,800 live games – all of which will be archived and organized for easy highlight access.  This service allows us to deliver all of the games, either live or archived, to our loyal fans, parents and family members, media and coaches on a worldwide basis,” states Marc Ruskin, CEO of FASTHockey,  “We are excited to launch the next release of our video platform that allows users to watch up to four events at once, integrates game related content like rosters and player biographical information, and utilizes leading edge Microsoft Silverlight technology.”

Webcasts for all teams will be made available from the FASTHockey website located at http://www.fasthockey.com.  FASTHockey will also be providing its member leagues with professionally produced “Games of the Week”, studio shows, and highlight packages.
