A fantasy football marathon on ESPN helped push the company’s own fantasy football to a record two-day haul, signing up more players on Monday and Tuesday than any other day in the game’s 20-year history. During the 28-hour marathon, ESPN counted 1,753,511 teams drafted, surpassing its stated goal of 1,000,000 for the event.
The NHL announced the use of a new player-tracking technology during the World Cup of Hockey, provided by Sportvision. The tech was used during the All-Star Game as well. “We will be deploying that technology in both pucks, which are being manufactured as we speak, and player tags that will be used throughout the tournament,” the league said at a press event, per PuckDaddy. “The quantitative data that we will be tracking throughout this tournament will include puck and skating speed. It will include puck trajectory. It will include distance traveled for players as well as pucks, and will include other key data points that you see displayed here on the screen – data points which include spacing between players, obviously the (graphical) pointers to let fans know who is on the ice at any given time.”
