TSN and 7-Eleven announced today an extension of their ongoing partnership, with the addition of a multi-platform sponsorship of all BarDown gaming content. The partnership is now live, just in time for the start of a new hockey season, and highlights the innovative world of sports video gaming.

All 7-Eleven sponsored content is available on the newly created 7-Eleven BarDown Gaming hub on BarDown.com/Gaming.
The partnership also includes the sponsorship of TSN’s YouTube gaming content, including:
