The previous video shows a camera being attatched to a hockey goalie's helmet. From this, you are actually able to have a view of what a goalie is looking at. This is a technology that is still being tested. At the same point in time some goalie's may not be comfortable with having the camera on or in their helmet. One reason may be the fact that this adds extra weight to the helmet that is not neccessary. However, this is something different and really puts a viewer into the game.
The National Hokcey League (NHL) has recently been looking for new ways to make the game of hockey more appealing to viewers, both to come to the actual event and those that watch it on TV. By inplementing new technologies and accepting change, the league has become more viewer friendly. This has also come about because of the willingness of players in the league to embrace and support the changes as well. I know they have also used this on regualar players as well. But once again this usually does not take place during regular season games. The main issue again making the technology so it will not get in the way of the player's ability to perform with the main issue being weight or a different feel to the equipment.
