ESTERO, Fla. – The Florida Everblades are proud to announce 12 home games will be broadcast on television with Gulf Coast NBC on the Heroes & Icons TV Network across Southwest Florida for the 2025-26 season.
 
“Expanding our live television coverage from six games to 12 is a tremendous milestone for the Everblades and our fans,” said Adam Winslow, chief marketing officer and executive vice president of the Florida Everblades.
 
“This growth would not be possible without our partnership with Gulf Coast NBC, as well as the unwavering support of our corporate partners and passionate fan base – together, we’re bringing the excitement of Everblades hockey into more homes across Southwest Florida, raising the visibility of our team, league, and, most importantly, the unforgettable experience of Blades hockey.”
 
Last season saw six games broadcast over the H&I Network during the season as the Everblades advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for a fourth consecutive season.
 
“Gulf Coast NBC is proud to once again be the home of Florida Everblades hockey,” said Darrell Lieze-Adams, President and General Manager of Gulf Coast NBC.
 
“This is the second year our viewers and loyal Blades fans will have the chance to enjoy the excitement of the games right on their TVs.
