The second season of the docuseries, ECHL Unfiltered: South Carolina Stingrays, has been nominated for a Regional Emmy® Award in the Sports Documentary category, marking a major milestone for the series and its continued evolution as a platform for authentic hockey storytelling.

Produced by GameAbove Entertainment and directed by Tyler Nimmons, the Stingrays-focused installment offers a cinematic, all-access look inside a full ECHL season—capturing the pressure, uncertainty and ambition that define life in one of North America’s top developmental leagues.

From locker room conversations to the grind of the schedule, the series brings viewers closer to the human side of the game—where every shift carries meaning and every opportunity matters.

“We’re incredibly appreciative of this recognition,” said Nimmons. “This project was built on trust — from the players, coaches and staff who allowed us into their world — and this nomination reflects the authenticity of those stories and the commitment everyone made to telling them the right way.”

Now streaming on Roku and YouTube, ECHL Unfiltered: South Carolina Stingrays builds on the foundation established in Season 1, expanding both its reach and its storytelling depth. What began as an inside look at the ECHL has grown into a series that resonates beyond the rink—connecting audiences with the perseverance and reality of chasing a career in professional hockey.

The nomination is more than recognition of a single season. It reflects a broader shift in sports storytelling, where audiences are increasingly drawn to access, authenticity and the untold journeys that exist beyond the spotlight of major leagues.

For GameAbove Entertainment, ECHL Unfiltered represents a commitment to telling those stories the right way—through trust, access and a cinematic lens that puts people at the center of the game.
