NHL To Deploy Puck and Player Tracking for 2019-20 Season

[Jeffrey93]

Correction....sensor in ice or software could adjust for portion of puck not covered by sensor to know if puck entirely crossed the line or not.

Everybody is focusing on calls on the ice, but I think it will be most useful for analytics.

NHL player tracking system plans to use 'obsolete' optical option

Wyshnyski update.

Plan is to use puck/player tracking and overlay with optical system that will be able to track stick movement, etc.

The latter may not be installed/ready in time for season start and will be added as the season progresses.

And other technological notes

Well considering I can't watch some games because of the ads, maybe that's a way to combat???
