An article about the biometric shirts that track an athlete's heart rate and lung capacity among other things, three dimensionally (there is a photo at the top)
I read an article on this during the Olympics and how going forward it's something NHL teams can use, both when the player is healthy and injured. NASA is using them and they are also being used to treat symptoms of PTSD.

Since the shirts went on sale in 2013, use by professional athletes has been growing. Several members of the Canadian Olympic team in Sochi last year used Hexoskin shirts, including sisters Justine and Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, who won gold and silver, respectively, in the dual moguls competition. The Brooklyn Nets strength and conditioning coach Dr. Jeremy Bettle also uses the shirts to track his players’ physiology both on and off the court. And Cirque du Soleil even uses Hexoskin to monitor its performers during training.

Now attach some small GPS style sensors around the rink and track the players movements along with the biometrics and call it advanced stats!!!!! :laugh:
