In partnership with Cluch, Hockey Australia and its member associations have renewed one of the most expansive streaming deals in Australian sport. The centralised LiveHockey streaming platform will again showcase tens of thousands of hours of content from all corners of Australia.

Speaking about the renewal, Cluch Managing Director, Gus Seebeck said “Twelve months ago in partnership with Hockey Australia and its member associations, we launched LiveHockey which quickly established itself as a market-leading streaming platform.
