The NHL is bringing real-time, on-ice analytics to every club’s bench starting soon after the All-Star game.
The league has teamed up with SAP and expanded its partnership with Apple to arm all teams with iPads that will be fed dozens of real-time statistics about each game.
The plan builds on the NHL’s test during the 2017 playoff season, in which it provided teams with three iPad Pros that generated real-time video highlights. That pilot program was then expanded league-wide for the 2017-18 season. Teams will now get a fourth iPad that will complement existing on-bench video to help coaches make decisions on the fly in a game without needing stoppages.
