The NHL, along with its Alumni Association and Players’ Association, announced on Thursday that it has teamed up with NFT platform Sweet to create a unique NFT marketplace and collections of NFTs, which are unique blockchain tokens that show ownership.

The NHL wants to give fans a little bit of both by building an NFT marketplace with exclusive drops. The NHL’s Sweet marketplace should be up and running by October, just in time for the 2022-2023 season. But there’s also a bit of gaming going on here. Lehanski told Decrypt that the NHL wants to make NFTs more like games by adding “questing and c…

If this chance to build a new economy based on cultural exchange is real, how do we do it?” Grant said this to The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s new for…
