Page 13 Business Opportunity: Community Management These trends happen to map perfectly to usage trends at NHL.com, which are heavily game-centric (i.e. nights and weekends) On average, Digital Prime Time (7-10) drives more than 50% of daily traffic distribution on both NHL.com broadband and mobile.. This should be among our top areas to target.
