ESPN, Disney Branded Television and the National Hockey League are teaming up for NHL Big City Greens Classic 2. The live, animated NHL game telecast featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins airs Saturday, March 9 at 3 p.m. ET.
In this exclusive clip, Cricket and Gramma from Disney Channel’s “Big City Greens” have a little chat with the Penguins’ Brad Marchand. It’s a hoot.
Last year’s Big City Greens Classic featured the Washington Capitals squaring off against the New York Rangers, with first-of-its-kind volumetric animation presentation.
This year’s game will feature real-time, virtually created animations of NHL players modeled after characters on the Disney Channel series.
