"The response to the B2-USHL partnership has been beyond what we had originally expected," said Greg P. Bell, B2 Networks Owner and CEO. "By offering the 'B2 Power Play' now we are taking that relationship to the next level. Fans have asked for a season pass, now they have the program along with the biggest savings ever offered by our company."
The start of "B2 Power Play" sales is just the beginning of several technological advances being offered to USHL fans for the 2006-07 season. In the upcoming weeks, B2toGo, a service delivering live action streamed to PDAs and cell phones will be made available along with monthly watching packages.
