The hockey games were a big winner for NBCSN and the NHL at the Olympics. Now both hope to cash in again with NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other Thursday night on NBCSN.

The two-hour film is a behind-the-scenes, all-access look at what occurred in Sochi.

On NHL.com, producer Ross Greenburg talked about the film.

It’s been a frantic few days for the producers of the NHL’s latest reality show.

The Olympic hockey tournament only wrapped up when Canada beat Sweden for gold on Sunday and a two-hour special episode of “NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other” is scheduled to air Thursday night on CBC (and NBC in the U.S.).

That didn’t leave much time to put finishing touches on the behind-the-scenes look at the Sochi Games.

“We’re under the gun,” executive producer Ross Greenburg said in an interview this week. “We worked 18 days of pretty exciting hockey on and off the ice.”

From NHL COO John Collins:

It took months to line up approvals needed to make the film, from the International Olympic Committee, the NHL Players’ Association and the various national hockey federations.

NHL chief operating officer John Collins said the North American TV rights holders CBC and NBC played a critical role in getting co-operation with the project and getting the IOC and other parties on board.

“It gives fans an opportunity to get to know the players better and see how special they are,” said Collins. “The players are such good guys.

“There are so many people, particularly in the United States, who can’t relate because they haven’t grown up playing the game, so to be able to see who they are, especially with the backdrop of the Olympics, gives fans a chance to connect.”

He said another source of drama comes from players who are NHL teammates going against one another with their national teams. They will then show Olympic teammates playing against each other again back in the NHL in future episodes.

“It creates wonderful opportunities to tell stories,” he said.
