"This show is just one of the many ways in which we're trying to entertain hockey fans during our pause," said NHL Chief Content Officer Steve Mayer. "P.K. has a great energy for a show like this. We are set to welcome our fans, players and celebrities and have some fun giving away prizes. We hope that we have put together a fun format where the audience can play along."

"With the NHL season on pause, as our society works to combat COVID-19, our hope is that this show will provide fans with a sense of community, knowledge, and of course a lot of entertainment until we can all get on the ice once again," said Subban. "I'm looking forward to fans experiencing this show with us."

Each contestant will be asked three hockey trivia questions. NHL players and celebrities will also be featured in the show. The contestants in the debut episode include a St. Louis police officer and a New Jersey paramedic currently on the front lines in the fight against coronavirus, with a special appearance by Tampa Bay Lightning forward Pat Maroon.

NHL Hat Trick Trivia™ Hosted by P.K. Subban joins a robust lineup of weekly programming the NHL has introduced to keep hockey fans connected to players and the game during the pause in the 2019-20 season. From the #HockeyAtHome interview show, produced and distributed by NHL Original Productions, to weekly virtual press conferences with players and coaches, the NHL is working to deliver a steady stream of engaging content to hockey fans around the world.
