US EditionNHL Is Expanding Use of Hawk-Eye Measuring and Tracking. It May Eventually Solve some on-Ice Issues
- The NHL announced on Wednesday, hours before the Stanley Cup Final, it is expanding Hawk-Eye measuring and tracking technology use in its games.
- This expansion follows a decade-long partnership with Sony using Hawk-Eye for Synchronized Multi-Angle Replay Technology in every arena to improve replay reviews and challenges.
- The technology captures 29 skeletal points on players and 3 on sticks, allowing officials to potentially determine puck crossing, high-sticking, and penalties with greater certainty.
- Commissioner Gary Bettman said, "We will test it and re-test it," and executive VP David Lehanski added, "We're closer—we keep getting closer," highlighting early-stage but clear plans.
- The NHL aims to improve accurate on-ice calls and enhance the home viewing experience by bringing better camera angles and real-time tracking into homes through this evolving technology.
