New Women’s Fantasy Sports Platform Promotes Visibility and Fan Engagement
The Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) has partnered with She Plays to launch PHF Fantasy Hockey, the first full-scale, season-long fantasy game app dedicated to women’s ice hockey. Now available for download on iOS and Android devices, the game is open with live scoring and also offers new users the opportunity to sign-up and create leagues before the PHF schedule resumes after the holiday break.
She Plays Fantasy Hockey offers fans a full-scale fantasy game with live snake drafts, player rosters, and head-to-head competition each week that culminates with playoffs and a final championship game to determine league winners. The game is supported by analytical tools and editorial pieces to help fans draft their teams, manage their players, make trades, and more.
“Fantasy sports provide a unique fan experience that the PHF is excited to offer for the first time in partnership with She Plays,” says Jim Pfeifer, PHF Chief Marketing Officer. “She Plays shares our commitment to growing the game and raising the bar for professional women’s sports. Through their platform, our passionate fans will be able to extend their love for the PHF beyond the ice and connect with the league, teams, and athletes in a fun and competitive way this season.”
“We are incredibly excited to partner with the PHF to provide fantasy sports to their fans,” says Ashley Hart, CEO & Co-Founder of She Plays. “The PHF is such a special league, having continued growth year after year and reaching landmark broadcast deals. We have seen another team join in the offseason and it’s been an incredible start to this season already. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with the league to continue engaging long-time fans and help bring in new fans through a fantasy sports offering.”
