$content = "<p><a href="https://victoryplus.com/" target="_blank">Victory+</a> is a free, sports streaming platform that puts fans first, giving them direct access to the teams and leagues they love. Created by <a href="https://aparentmedia.com/" target="_blank">A Parent Media Co.</a> Inc. (APMC), headquartered in Calgary, AB, Victory+ is fundamentally changing how fans access their favorite teams. Built on the principle that fandom should not be restricted by paywalls, Victory+ has established itself as a North American leader in the &quot;Free-to-Consumer&quot; live sports streaming model.</p>
<p><img alt="<who>Photo credit: Victory+" src="/files/files/images/WHL%20Evergreen%20image_V6.png" /></p>
<p>For fans in the Okanagan, Victory+ has become the essential destination for <a href="https://chl.ca/whl/" target="_blank">Western Hockey League</a> (WHL) action. Through a milestone multi-year partnership, the platform provides free access to over 750 regular-season and playoff games across all 23 WHL clubs. For Kelowna Rockets supporters, this means every home and away game is now available on any connected device, completely free of subscription fees.</p>
<p>In addition to nightly league action, Victory+ was also the exclusive streaming home for the WHL Prospects Game on February 18, 2026. Hosted at the Langley Events Centre, this historic showcase—the first of its kind for the league since 2000—featured 44 of the top NHL Draft-eligible players, including standouts Daxon Rudolph and Carson Carels.</p>
<p>Built into Victory+’s philosophy is the belief that viewership should be a two-way street, with fans rewarded for their loyalty and viewership. Starting February 7th, the platform launched <a href="https://victoryplus.com/promo/battle-of-the-rinks" target="_blank">Battle of the Rinks</a>, a fan-powered competition running through the WHL playoffs, where every minute watched on the app earns points for your favorite team and boosts your standing on an individual leaderboard.</p>
<p>The stakes are high for both individuals and their communities: the top five fans on the <a href="https://victoryplus.com/promo/battle-of-the-rinks" target="_blank">streaming leaderboard</a> will each win a $5,000 cash prize, while the winning club will secure $25,000 to host an exciting premier Fan Experience Night for the home crowd. It is a direct challenge to WHL fans: stream the games to prove your city is the most dedicated in the league.</p>
<p>The Victory+ experience extends far beyond the live whistle. The platform offers a deep library of shoulder content, including team-specific on demand content and the hit show Frankly Hockey. Featuring hockey insiders Frank Seravalli and John Buccigross, the show delivers daily news and exclusive behind-the-scenes access, including twice-weekly deep dives into the WHL.</p>
<p>While hockey remains a cornerstone, Victory+ has curated a 2026 programming slate that reflects the diverse interests of modern sports fans. The platform now serves as a national home for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Professional Volleyball: Live regular and postseason coverage of League One Volleyball (LOVB).</li>
<li>Gridiron and Elite Youth Sports: Marquee games from the Women’s National Football Conference (WNFC) and a historic global agreement to stream the Texas High School Football (UIL) State Championships.</li>
<li>Lifestyle Content: A mix of creator-focused and sports-entertainment programming that captures the broader pulse of sports culture</li>
</ul>
<p>As the platform continues to scale across North America, its mission remains anchored in its Western Canadian values: providing better access, deeper engagement, and the unforgettable moments that define the spirit of the game.</p>
<p>Victory+ is available on all major platforms, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung TV Plus, iOS, and Android. </p>
