Hockey has long ceased to be something that lives only in the arena. A modern fan doesn’t just come to the stadium. They fly, drive, cross borders, and take vacations to attend their team’s playoff match. At some point, their smartphone becomes just as important as their ticket. It’s through their phone that they search for tickets, book accommodations, read lineups, watch highlights, and find the nearest pub in a foreign city to meet their “own people.” And if you download the Parimatch KZ app, you can place bets on hockey events from anywhere in the world using your mobile device.
It all starts with the NHL App , the official app of the National Hockey League.
It’s not just about statistics. It has everything: live broadcasts, match schedules, video replays, rosters, news, and a merchandise store. But the most important feature is its adaptability. If you’re in Europe and arrive in Zurich, and the match starts at a time in North America, the app will automatically adjust the time to your local time. It will notify you if a player on your fantasy roster gets injured, and it will send you a push notification when a player scores a beautiful goal. The built-in NHL.tv subscription allows you to watch matches on the go without any glitches. It’s stable. Even on 4G. The ability to turn on a radio commentary is especially appreciated — it’s convenient if you’re on a train and the screen isn’t an option.
For KHL fans, the KHL App is a lifesaver. It’s an official league product, and unlike the “wooden” versions of previous years, it’s become very user-friendly. All matches, news, standings, and videos are in high quality. The most convenient feature is the “Live Streaming” section, where you can select a match, connect to the broadcast, and review key moments afterward. For those who are going to another city, especially on the road, the app gives information about the arena, the start time, and you can even go to the purchase of tickets (through the club’s affiliate link). Not a gun, but everything is on the case.
And if you are on the spot and want to find a beer bar with a broadcast, Untappd will help you. This is an app for crafting lovers, but in the hockey party, it has long been an entry point into fan geography. You enter a city – the app shows bars with reviews. Often in the comments: “we watch hockey here”, “we root for Traktor”, “they turn on the KHL if you ask”. It works especially well in Europe and North America. If you’re in Stockholm and want to watch an Avangard match, there’s a good chance you’ll find a bar like this.
If you live hockey every day – even not only on trips – you will need theScore. An app that many people underestimate. It doesn’t show videos, but it provides analytical summaries, statistics, and detailed period breakdowns. It works like a compact news outlet. If you subscribe to “Pittsburgh,” you only receive the information you need. Notifications are not spammed. You can simultaneously follow the NHL, KHL, MHL, and tournaments like the World Cup of Hockey.
