LiveBarn Promo Code: nash-plex

The Nashville Youth Hockey League (NYHL) in conjunction with Centennial Sportsplex is thrilled to announce a partnership with LiveBarn, a provider of live and on demand broadcast services, that is now available on both rinks at Centennial Sportsplex.

“The ability to provide youth hockey streaming and on-demand replay modernizes the experience for players, parents and coaches," said NYHL President John Higgins. “Players are now able to share highlights, coaches have access to full game replays and practices to aide player development and family members can access live games when they cannot attend in person.” Higgins mentioned, “The introduction of the LiveBarn services demonstrates the NYHL’s commitment to the continued development and advancement of youth hockey in Tennessee.” 

The NYHL would like to extend a special “thank you” to The Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation and the staff of Centennial Sportsplex for their tireless assistance in making this service available for everyone. 

LiveBarn is used in over 1,250 rink surfaces and over 815 ice hockey venues. The platform is accessible via a desktop or mobile browser, the LiveBarn iOS app or the LiveBarn AppleTV App. The service is now active and available to Live Barn subscribers.
