Odd sidetrack, but…..years ago a friend of mine went to a party where he saw his first ever HD TV. I remember him saying “hockey is great when you can see it better!”
Skip ahead to last Saturday when I tuned into the Notre Dame game in Dublin. My TV told me it was available on some channel I didn’t know I had in 4k, would I like to go there? Click! The ND helmets looked like the stuff in the Best Buy showroom when they try to WOW!!! you. It was very cool (though our slow internet struggled a couple times).
Hockey would be wise to get some content on 4k feeds, if they don’t already. I’d love to see it and see how much it upgrades the experience. They should have more viewers, it is fast and intense……….says the guy who loved the French Connection but left WNY in 1977 and has viewed little hockey since.
EDIT: Think back to golf before shot tracker. I would find that unwatchable now. How it is televised changed the game in terms of viewership. Hockey could learn from that.
