Heh. Brings to mind the Fox Sports 'FoxTrax' [1] which placed a glow on the puck. Hockey fans hated it. I'm not sure if non-hockey fans cared either way.

- veggieburglar 6y agoOh no, the glowing dot! But remember this was well before HDTV. Watching hockey on a grainy old TV was not accessible for those who didn’t know the game. However, I don’t think it was successful in bringing in new viewers, and people who were already fans hated it because, well, it sucked.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoWith the puck tracki technology being reused for advanced stats fans, I wonder if they'll try something similar except make it optional on web broadcasts or will the FoxTrax legacy prevent them from attempting it.
