Coho Films Partners with NHL to Bring Seattle Hockey Stories to Life, On and Off the Ice
Skating into Big Moments: Coho Films’ Ongoing Partnership with the NHL and Seattle Hockey Community
At Coho Films, we’re proud to be the go-to video production partner for the National Hockey League (NHL) in the Seattle area. What began as a strong relationship with the Seattle Kraken has grown into an exciting and ongoing collaboration with the league itself—supporting everything from sponsor content to documentary storytelling and in-game entertainment.
Telling the Story of Seattle’s Inclusive Hockey Scene
Separate from league events, we’ve also had the privilege of telling the story of the Seattle Pride Hockey League—a local LGBTQ+ league that’s changing the face of the sport. With a focus on community, inclusivity, and representation, the SPHL project highlights our shared belief that hockey should be for everyone.
Our mini-doc on the SPHL blended interviews, game footage, and personal stories to showcase how local players are building a safe, welcoming space within a historically exclusive sport. These are the kinds of stories we love to tell—where sports intersect with human impact.
From the Ice to the Big Screen
In 2024, Coho Films played a key role in helping the NHL bring its vision to life across a wide variety of projects in Seattle. Our work included:
Sponsor video content for major brands like L.L.Bean, filmed and edited to match national campaign standards.
In-game video production—including hype videos and storytelling content—played on the jumbotron to engage fans in real time.
On-the-ground production support for the “Road to the Winter Classic” TV series, capturing behind-the-scenes moments with players and fans in Seattle.
Filming with iconic Seattle figures like Marshawn Lynch, Lenny Wilkens, Matt Hasselbeck, Jay Buhner, and more to highlight the region’s deep connection to sports culture.
These projects required agility, creativity, and a deep understanding of how to craft content that feels equally at home in an arena packed with 17,000 fans and on national broadcast TV.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Consistency
The NHL continues to tap Coho Films for Seattle-based productions because we deliver high-quality work with efficiency, care, and creativity. Whether we're coordinating multi-camera shoots at Climate Pledge Arena or running lean crews for documentary segments, our team is trusted to represent the league’s brand with professionalism.
We’re not just hockey fans—we’re storytellers who know how to capture the energy, emotion, and connection that makes the game special. And it’s been an honor to be part of hockey’s growing footprint in the Pacific Northwest.
