RED+ and Eisblog launch partnership for junior and women's ice hockey
The German streaming platform RED+ and the ice hockey media outlet Eisblog are entering into a partnership. The goal is to increase visibility for German youth and women’s leagues. Starting with the 2024–2025 season, RED+ will broadcast all DEB U17 and U20 DNL games, as well as the entire DFEL, via live stream or Re-Live.
Two ice hockey media are joining forces: RED+, Germany's leading streaming platform for junior and women's ice hockey, and Eisblog, the German ice hockey medium with the widest reach, are entering into a partnership. The aim of the cooperation is to give German junior and women's leagues more visibility.
Since the 2024/2025 season, RED+ has been broadcasting all games of the DEB U17, U20 DNL and the entire DFEL, Germany's top women's league - as a livestream or re-live. The platform has thus become the most important point of contact for anyone who wants to follow junior and women's ice hockey - whether it's to watch their own children play, scout talent or follow the DFEL.
Content cooperation for more reach
"RED+ brings the sport of ice hockey into German living rooms. The offer is worth its weight in gold, especially for families who want to watch their children's games. We share the vision with RED+ of giving junior and women's ice hockey the attention they deserve," explains Simon Rentel, founder of the ice blog. "Together, we can create visibility with our reach and their live broadcasts - for talents that would otherwise remain under the radar."
The core of the partnership is a content cooperation: Eisblog will regularly report on the leagues streamed on RED+. Fans will find the content in particular on the social media channels @redicehockey.de and @eisblog_.
"With its community, Eisblog reaches the target group that we want to inspire for our leagues," says Dennis Russ, Head Sports & Media Partnerships Manager Germany/Austria at RED+. "Together, we are driving ice hockey in Germany forward: more reach for the leagues, better content for the community.
RED+ is a paid streaming service that has been operating in Switzerland since August 2022 and offers sports streams via the internet.
