This is interesting for GoPro (good client, huge promo), the fans (great new angles, different perspectives), but I like to see this as big upgrade for the NHL and the players too, as they rely more and more on cameras to enforce the rulebook, review plays, rewatch sequences, etc.. For example:
- Illegal & dangerous checks often come with a suspension, which is always dished out after video evidence is reviewed by the department of player safety
- It's very common for goals to get reviewed in-game to check whether there was goalie interference, high stick, kicked in, etc.
- All players watch countless hours of video during a week to improve their game and study their opponents (ex: shootout moves)
All in all, more power to the referees, more power to the coaches/players = better, safer, more entertaining hockey, IMO.
