He added: “We are excited to equip ice hockey leagues and federations with proven technology that provides fast official data for their fans, coaches, broadcasters and media partners.”
Genius Sports tool creation was streamlined due to partnership with NCAA
The development of Sports Genius’ new LiveStats solution was accelerated by its long-term partnership with the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). Therefore, the novelty was launched before the 2020/21 season, allowing members of the three NCAA divisions to obtain official game statistics.
“The new LiveStats software for ice hockey is really a huge step forward when it comes to analyzing the sport at all levels,” said Dave Walberg, assistant director of athletics at UMass Boston.
Walberg added: “And, you can tell a more complete story of how a game went from start to finish. I feel that this software will be a great tool for analyzing the sport by fans, coaches and media professionals.”
