I'm really curious if they're going to offer the audio feed along with the video feed. We have the technology to broadcast audio from the players in basically every major sport in the US but broadcasters are terrified of doing so because... well let's say pro athletes aren't real big on self-censorship while they're playing.

I get the impression that the NHL (and NFL and everyone else) doesn't want home viewers to actually hear what the players are saying to each other and it drives me nuts, because I really feel like the interpersonal aggression is a part of the sport that nobody wants me to see.

I umpire college baseball and have looked into mounting a GoPro on my mask for a game, and may do it, but won't be able to do it during the regular season. Could still be fun to show in a summer league where it's slightly more relaxed but still competitive baseball.

Having seen the view of a few other GoPro mask cameras lately, it's pretty cool to see pitches coming in, but commentary is the best part. The chatter was my favorite part of that AHL video by far, but perhaps I'm biased also being an official.

I watched for a couple minutes, and started to feel a little nausea. Anyone else? Not sure how this bodes for the general concept of helmet-attached GoPros.

(the Checkers are my home team! - cool seeing them in this vid)
