SAN JOSE — Cameras and crews from EPIX invaded Sharks Ice on Monday, shooting a promotional spot for its upcoming “Road to the Stadium Series” show that will feature a behind-the-scenes look at the Sharks and Los Angeles Kings in the weeks leading up to their Feb. 21 outdoor game.

EPIX was only in San Jose for one day, and a smaller crew will begin to follow the Sharks in January for a four-part series that will part of the buildup to the game at Levi’s Stadium. Episodes will be shown on four consecutive Tuesdays, starting Feb. 3, with the series winding up three days after the game is played.

Produced by Ross Greenburg, who created the “24/7” series for HBO along with “Hard Knocks” and “Real Sports,” the series provides a glimpse of the the lives of players and coaches on the ice and away from the rink.

“When the show starts and they start to embed with the team, which is about a month out from the Stadium Series game, they will truly be a fly on the wall,” said John Dellapina, the NHL’s group vice president of communications. “It’ll be a very small (amount of) people, they’ll be out the way. It almost becomes second nature to the player.”

Dellapina said the crew had already visited with the Kings, and work is already well underway on the shows for the Winter Classic between the Washington Capitals and Chicago Blackhawks. The first episode for that series will begin to air Dec. 16.

“It will be nice to be here and for the rest of the league to really see what the San Jose Sharks are about,” Dellapina said. “You see these guys play, and some of them have personalities that are fleshed out, people have known them for years. Some of them don’t.

“Somebody will emerge and turn out to be the most interesting, funny guy,” he continued. “That’s where the show’s really good.”

EPIX is available for a fee at AT&T U-verse and Dish Network. For those who do not subscribe to EPIX, the series will also be available online at epix.com and nhl.com.
