This week, the NHL is slated to launch a new mobile app called Arena that is modeled after the Ballpark app that Major League Baseball Advanced Media introduced in 2012, according to a report by ChicagoBusiness.com.

Last August, the NHL and MLB Advanced Media announced a six-year, $600 million partnership where MLBAM would control the digital assets of the NHL. In return, the NHL gained an estimated 7–10% stake in BAM Tech, the streaming technology provider for the WWE, HBO, NHL and MLB.
