Smart Pucks, AI Refs and VR Fans: All the Cutting-Edge Tech Powering the NHL in 2025

Not long ago, hockey’s real-time stats were limited to what a human could scribble down. In 2025, every movement of the puck and players is digitally tracked and recorded. The NHL’s EDGE Puck and Player Tracking system uses a combination of sensor and camera technologies to capture the game in unprecedented detail. Each game puck is embedded with a microchip, and players wear radio-frequency tags tucked into their shoulder pads – these emit signals that antennas around the arena pick up 100 times per second aws.amazon.com. Meanwhile, an array of 14–20 high-speed cameras mounted in the rafters constantly triangulate player positions nhl.com. The result is a firehose of data: about 12 million data points per game, tracking everything from puck speed to players’ exact coordinates aws.amazon.com.
