The NHL announced Wednesday it is partnering with Sportvision on the player- and puck-tracking technology that will be used during the eight-team international tournament, which takes place Sept. 17-Oct. 1 at Air Canada Centre.
"It gives people another way to connect with the game," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. "If you're a fan, you can have more and more insights to the game, and if you're a casual fan or not a fan at all, this may give you another reason to connect even more with the game."
Through technology embedded into the puck, small devices inserted into the back of the player jerseys and infrared cameras stationed throughout the arena, Sportvision will be able to capture real-time information so it can be fed to broadcast partners ESPN and Sportsnet.
