“This series is the ultimate hockey experience, and what better time to get things started than during the most wonderful time of the year: Playoff season!” Meaney said. “Whether viewers are interested in wagering and fantasy, in-depth analysis and insightful previews, or all of the above—we’ve got them covered. Eric and I both have a deep love for the sport, and we cannot wait to share everything we’ve been working on when Dangle Bet Celly launches tomorrow.”
“Hockey has long been a passion of mine, and I’ve always appreciated the similarities between it and the wrestling world,” Young said. “Hard-hitting action, intense drama, and bitter feuds get cranked up to the maximum when the championship is on the line, and Chris and I are excited to get in there and break down all the intrigue of the Playoffs as we help viewers make the best fantasy picks and place the smartest bets.”
“This series marks an exciting synergizing of two top Anthem assets, as one of IMPACT Wrestling’s most renowned athletes joins Game+ in a move that strongly illustrates the unique power and smart strategy of Anthem’s diverse portfolio,” said Scott D’Amore, EVP of Content Creation for Anthem’s Sports Group. “We are constantly looking for organic ways to blend our properties, and partnering Eric Young with Chris Meaney for an all-new hockey series was a natural fit from the very beginning. These two have an undeniable chemistry and a great understanding of the game and all it entails, and I’m confident that viewers are really going to enjoy what they have to offer.”
“Dangle Bet Celly’s unique fantasy, wagering, and game analysis offers NHL sports fans the interest they crave. Eric has a true passion for hockey and a gift for broadcasting, and Chris’ almost encyclopedic understanding of fantasy sports makes him the envy of fantasy managers and bettors everywhere. We are excited to have them onboard, and proud to partner with leading fantasy sports platform FTN and online gaming hub PointsBet Canada to ensure we’re always providing our audience with the absolute best in fantasy sports and sports wagering coverage.”
