Joining an NHL Hockey pool this playoff season? Why not build a winner using the Windows Live Messenger NHL Stats Agent?

Add it now to your Messenger Buddy List or your Office Communicator Contacts and start getting all the stats for your favourite players: nhlstats@hotmail.com

Get the answers you need with questions like: “Who plays left wing for Toronto?” or “How is Sydney Crosby doing?” or “Show me last night’s scores.”

Windows Live Agents are a cool technology designed to drive deep engagement with end-consumers through WL Messenger, but they can be thoroughly customized for Enterprise applications (and their customers) as well. The Agent uses the technology of Colloquis, a company recently acquired and brought in-house by Microsoft.

It’s an interactive Messenger Buddy designed to provide current NHL stats data and NHL Playoffs stats data to anyone who adds it to Messenger or Communicator. We thought it’d be an interesting and different way for Canadian Fantasy Sports players (traditionally 18-34 year old males) to get their NHL fix. Statistics are provided to us by STATS, the leading global provider of sports information and statistical analysis.
