Google+ Hangouts Keep Hockey Fans Busy Off Season

These are humorous enough if only for the gag. Three videos created for the NHL by Google+ by Toronto-based agency Entrinsic, have a bit of fun with hockey mania.

As most hockey fans know, there’s no longer season than the off-season. To give hocky fans something to keep themselves busy with, Entrinsic created “Overtime on Google+,” a week-long social gathering running from June 22-29 for fans of the sport to ‘hangout’ with well-known players, leaders and broadcasters – all on a dedicated site within Google+.

Overtime consists of hours of hangouts with hosts including broadcast reporters from Sports Net, Hockey News and The Score, Hockey bloggers, and players from the Calgary Flames, The Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs and others. Nine fans will be invited to each “hangout” with their sports heroes.
