MICHAELS ON THE BUZZ FACTOR: "This particular game is what Universal Sports is all about. This kind of exciting international event that in the past hasn’t had a place to air. With the excitement of last weekend's Winter Classic still fresh, the idea of the top international hockey players playing under the stars in Red Square in Moscow is something that shouldn't be missed," said David Michaels, NBC Emmy Award-winning producer and head of Universal Sports production.
