After a test run earlier this year with the Boston Bruins, a new virtual reality technology attempting to revolutionize ice hockey training has launched, boosted by a minor investment from Bruins’ right winger David Pastru0148ák.

The Czech Republic-based company, called Sense Arena, launched Wednesday. It has official partnerships with a number of organizations in its home country, including the Czech Ice Hockey Association, the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University in Prague, and the professional hockey club White Tigers Liberec.
