Premier Sports to cover GB ice hockey’s Olympics qualifying bid

UK pay-television broadcaster Premier Sports has acquired rights to an ice hockey pre-qualifying tournament for the 2018 winter Olympic Games.

Great Britain’s men’s team will compete at the tournament in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy from February 11-14 and each of its three games will be broadcast on Premier Sports.

The winner of a group comprising Great Britain, Italy, Serbia and the Netherlands will progress to a final qualifying event later this year. The 2018 winter Olympics will take place in PyeongChang, South Korea.
