Fans will have a more interactive, more personalized and, perhaps most importantly, cheaper way to watch all Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins games this season.

On Wednesday, the American Hockey League announced the launch of AHLTV, an all new streaming service in partnership with stats and technology service HockeyTech.

"AHLTV reflects the high standards that our fans and stakeholders have come to expect from the American Hockey League," league president David Andrews said in a statement. "HockeyTech shares our vision of bringing the excitement of AHL hockey as an enhanced digital experience to fans who can't make it to the rink."

Fans can personalize their viewing experience with a pricing plan that best fits their needs. The packages break down as follows:

■ Access to every AHL game the upcoming season will cost $79.99.

■ A full-season plan for one team is $59.99; all home or road games for one team will cost $39.99.

■ A one-month subscription for all games is $19.99, and a one-day subscription for all games is $6.99.

Games will be broadcast in high definition and can be streamed through desktop and mobile devices, tablets, laptops and additional platforms like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Chromecast and Android TV.

Additionally, subscribers will have access to live stats during each game and can create their own highlight clips to share with other AHLTV users.

The service replaces AHL Live, which had started to irritate many fans because of its expensive pricing — the early bird price for a full season of Penguins road games cost $100, for example — and unreliable video quality.

Fans can register for a free account and learn more about the service by visiting theahl.com/AHLTV. Opening night for the AHL is Oct. 5, with nine games set to kick off the season.
