Someone asked this question in another section, and I wonder if this community and our collective memory can figure out the answer:

Random question, not deserving of its own thread: When is the first time you recall seeing a broadcast use a shot location map?

Obviously, the NHL eventually keeps these...but like other things, like ice time, broadcasts (and teams) kept and displayed this information at random...I'm wondering if anyone can recall when they first started to see NHL shot location charts/maps...

Thanks !

As far as myself, my gut feeling says early-2010s, but I could be way off.

I'm thinking somewhere in or around the time the "New NHL" was dubbed.
Definitely after analytics came into vogue.
