As part of the collaboration, HypSports will host additional free hockey trivia shows for cash after the first Kucherov goal of each game during the Eastern Conference Finals
ORLANDO, FLORIDA (May 9, 2018) – HypGames, Inc. — an Orlando, FL based sports technology leader — announced today that Nikita Kucherov, Tampa Bay Lightning forward and a leading scorer in the NHL, is their first official Athlete Partner for their year-round fan engagement app, HypSports.
HypSports is a free mobile game platform for sports fans, featuring a variety of live daily competitions. Currently, the platform hosts Trivia Clash, a 3x daily sports trivia contest with real cash prizes, and HypSports Showdown, an innovative twist on fantasy sports in which season-long collection and upgrade mechanics replace traditional upfront player drafts.
As part of the collaboration, HypSports will be launching on-the-spot trivia games with additional cash prizes to celebrate Kucherov’s on-ice performance during the Eastern Conference Finals and through all remaining Lightning Stanley Cup games. For every Lightning playoff game, a bonus trivia contest will be added following Kucherov’s first goal of the night. This immediate event activation is one of the unique abilities of HypSports’ groundbreaking platform, and is part of the continuing effort by HypSports to bring fans closer to the action by allowing them to compete alongside their favorite players, teams, and leagues.
“We’re excited to celebrate our partnership with #86 by offering special events to our players that mark his on-ice performance. Nikita is one of the most elite players in the NHL, and having him on our team is a true validation of where HypSports is heading,” said Mike Taramykin, CEO of HypGames, Inc.
HypSports is available to download free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and Google Play for Android devices.
