It was announced this week that the NHL would temporarily pull some of its new tracking tech pucks due to concerns about their on-ice movement and performance. The NHL has emerged as a leader among professional sports leagues in technology implementation, with teams like the Buffalo Sabres paving the way in their use of fan experience and crowd monitoring technology WaitTime.

The NHL has also had a priority interest in embedding technology for puck and player tracking for years, a process oft-delayed in the past due to the cost or lack of efficient tech.
