Paddock Chevrolet Announces Partnership with Hudl to Expand Access to Local High School Sports
Area sports fans will be able to watch highlights, livestreams and follow their favorite teams across trusted local media platforms
Buffalo, New York, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paddock Chevrolet today announced a new partnership with Hudl and Lee Enterprises’ Buffalo News to expand access to sports throughout Western New York, connecting athletes, families and communities through enhanced sports video, highlights, livestreams and local storytelling.
The content provided by Hudl, free and accessible to all, will reach local sports fans, families, coaches and student-athletes across Lee Enterprises’ trusted local news platforms, including The Buffalo News.
The partnership combines Hudl’s deep integration with schools and athletic programs with Lee’s powerful local media network to deliver meaningful, community-driven coverage at scale. Whether it’s scores, schedules, highlights or livestreams, Hudl’s video, technology, AI-powered insights and analytics will provide athletes, coaches and fans with great access to the moments that matter most.
"At Paddock Chevrolet, we've always believed that supporting our community means investing in the people and experiences that bring us together," said Duane R. Paddock, President and CEO of Paddock Chevrolet and Board Director for the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. "High school sports create lifelong memories for athletes, families and fans, but not everyone can be in the stands for every game. Through this partnership, we're helping ensure those moments can be shared, celebrated and remembered by the entire community. We're proud to support a platform that shines a spotlight on local student-athletes and makes hometown sports more accessible than ever before."
Family-owned Paddock Chevrolet, which has operated out of Kenmore since 1935, has served as an investment anchor in the Western New York community for more than nine decades. Their investments include the massive public park development at Paddock Park, which just celebrated its one-year anniversary; the Paddock Vocational Training Center, which provides services that support developmentally disabled students with life skills and training to help them transition from the classroom to the workplace; and Legacy 514, which is an organization that was established in the aftermath of the May 14, 2022 Tops Market shooting in East Buffalo. The on-going mission of the organization is to improve the lives of the underserved, providing access to education and equality-based health care.
“By providing free access to local sports content to our area residents, we are creating a more inclusive digital cheering section made up of the entire community,” said Lauren Paddock, Partner and Vice President of Paddock Chevrolet. “The livestream archives will also preserve our local Buffalo sports history, championship games and community milestones.”
Sean Jacobsen, President and Publisher of The Buffalo News, said, "We believe local journalism extends beyond news. It means celebrating the people, teams and moments that bring our communities together. By partnering with Paddock Chevrolet and Hudl, we're expanding access to local high school sports through trusted storytelling and innovative technology, ensuring families, fans and communities can stay connected to the games and athletes they care about most."
