Early Promotions & Features
Early promotions will include an opportunity for Bitcasino customers to win a VIP experience at 3ICE’s Canadian tour-stops, as well as a free-to-play Pick ‘Em Bracket contest where fans can attempt to pick winners and exact scores of each game for a chance to win cash and prizes.
Video content aspects of the partnership will include a Club Talk chat show where Bitcasino will feature 3ICE players, executives, and coaches. Other content will include a digital web series, featuring 3ICE players.
3ICE
3ICE was founded by E.J. Johnston, a former IMG, Fox Sports and Getty Images executive as well as the son of former professional player, coach, and general manager, Ed Johnston. He is uniquely designed to give hockey fans the speed, skill, and excitement they’ve grown into love since the three-on-three overtime concept was introduced in 2015.
3ICE’s Founder & CEO, EJ Johnston stated:
“We are truly excited to partner with Bitcasino and extend the skill, fun, and flash of our game to their community of sports fans, Bitcasino is all about entertainment and fun, and a perfect partner for us and our fans. They think as we do and the innovative ways fans across Canada will be able to engage and experience their brand is something we are very excited about; content, games, VIP promotions, exclusive access, and more – I can’t wait.”
The League
The league consists of six teams, which will travel to tour stops and compete in a tournament where each game will consist of two, eight-minute halves using a running clock on a full-sized rink. Each team has seven players (including one goalie) and competes in a nine-week season that will feature six games each night. The bracket-style single-elimination format will include three first-round games, two semi-final matchups, followed by a title game. USA3ICE tickets go on sale soon via the official 3ICE website.
