mdwsta4 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Anyone else notice the rectangular patches/tags sewn into the rear shoulders of all the players in the SCF? I must have missed any articles about what these are. Some kind of stat tracker? Anyone have more info? Seen here above ‘KUC’ Above ‘HAT’ https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/sep/21/stanley-cup-final-lightning-edge-stars-to-level-series-in-game-2#img-1 And above ‘IN’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been doing that for a few years at certain games, like the Winter Classic. I may be wrong, but I believe Fanatics is behind that.

mdwsta4 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Huh. Thanks. Must have somehow missed it in WC and other games. My 2019 WC didn’t have anything like that *edit* looks like it started with the 2019 ASG which would explain it https://ngscsports.com/2020/02/03/nhl-the-new-player-and-puck-tracking-system/ Edited September 26, 2020 by mdwsta4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2019 WC didn’t have anything like that I assume your WC was worn for only one period. If so, who is the gameworn tag from? Pretty sure Meigray doesn’t do it, only Fanatics.

jsh139 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Nothing in my 2019 SS. It has both Fanatics and Meigray tags. Not surprised, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if these are a permanent thing from here on out. The league and networks want the player tracking for broadcasts. I believe there are also chips in pucks again as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
