“There’s nothing more gratifying than to make content that actually changes lives, and in this case, both for the dogs needing homes and the families that adopt them. Two paws up to the NHL for doing their part to help pups in need and giving us this platform to show people how shelter dogs deserve to be part of every family’s starting lineup,” executive producer Michael Levitt said in a press release.
The Stanley Cup Finals will take place in June. Playoffs began April 19.
The Stanley Pup follows the 21st annual Puppy Bowl in February, which coincided with Super Bowl LIX, the National Football League championship game.
