GoPro and the NHL

Recently GoPro has partnered with the NHL to provide fans with a cool first person experience while watching NHL games. The GoPros will be used during the oncoming all star game in the next few weeks. This will only be the start of the partnership between the NHL and GoPro.

I think that it is pretty cool that the NHL is providing viewers a new type of point of view for watching hockey. Ever since I have been a little kid I have watched sporting events from a third person perspective. I think that it would be awesome to view the hockey games in first person mode because it would just look awesome. This is only a part of the new movement of recording and the GoPro era and I think that it is pretty awesome! Hopefully GoPro is going to partner with more sports such as football so we can get first person views from people such as running backs and quarter backs.
