“INSINC is pleased to be working again with Hockey Canada to webcast the 2007 RBC Royal Bank Cup,” said
Jayne McCaw Gilbert, VP of Sales for INSINC, who will be providing the webcasts. “Last mile broadband
connections to the home continue to get better, resulting in better quality webcasts, now almost rivaling
traditional TV broadcasts. And with consumers increasingly plugging computers into TV sets, we expect
demand for this type of hockey viewing to only increase.”
“We are very pleased to be providing a webcast of a number of the games at the 2007 RBC Royal Bank Cup,”
said Dan Rogers, co-chair of the event. “The interest in this tournament is nationwide, and between Hockey
Canada’s relationship with INSINC, our partnership with PGTV, who will be providing the video, and the
commitment and experience of Ron Gallo, who is coordinating the broadcasts, we are confident that all fans
with access to a computer will have a fabulous 2007 RBC Royal Bank Cup experience.”
The gold medal game will be broadcast LIVE on TSN/RDS, the official broadcaster of Hockey Canada, on
Sunday, May 13. Check your local listings for broadcast times in your area.
