{allcanada} Gretzky interview series set for multiplatform debut

 

LAS VEGAS -- The National Hockey League (NHL®) today debuted "The Great One on One," a multiplatform video series featuring NHL legend Wayne Gretzky in conversation with a number of Hollywood stars and notable hockey fans. The League will preview the series during the 2018 Stanley Cup® Final, with the first three episodes featuring Jon Hamm ("Mad Men," "The Town," "Baby Driver"), Taylor Kitsch ("Waco," "Friday Night Lights," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") and David Boreanaz ("SEAL Team," "Bones," "Angel"). The series will return with more episodes in the fall.

"The Great One-on-One" features intimate conversations between some of the sport's biggest fans and the game's greatest player. Gretzky will explore the stars' NHL fandom and the role the game plays in their lives, while the celebrities have the unique opportunity to ask The Great One questions about their favorite sport.

The first three episodes of the series will stream during the 2018 Stanley Cup Final, with Gretzky's conversation with Boreanaz debuting today, followed by Hamm on Thursday, May 31, and Kitsch on Sunday, June 3. Episodes will be available at NHL.com, YouTube.com/NHL and across the NHL's social media channels. Viewers can expect additional episodes to be released in the fall to coincide with the start of the 2018-19 NHL season.

"Watching Wayne, Jon, Taylor and David talk hockey is so much fun to see. These are true passionate fans!" said NHL Chief Content Officer and Executive Vice President Steve Mayer. "'Not only is Wayne Gretzky one of the most talented players of all time, he also has a great personality. I think our fans will enjoy these conversations and they'll see that all three stars are just as enamored with Wayne as hockey fans are."

"I love to meet fans who have passion for the game," Gretzky added. "Jon, Taylor and David are longtime hockey fans that know so much about this great game. This is a fun opportunity to learn about the stories of their fandom and the role the sport plays in the lives of some of Hollywood's biggest stars."
