The ECAC has a new partnership with a company that provides AI-assisted hockey analytics. The press release doesn't get into specifics about what will be available to the public other than "data-driven storytelling and fan engagement." So not sure if that means they simply now have a way to record time on ice or if it'll be closer to NHL-style analytics.

Anytime analytics are being used for "fan engagement" ... one cringes.
Wonder how long for "data-driven storytelling" before degrading to its half-life.
It's possible Cornell students of today find some of this engaging. Or not.

I know some people love the analytics stuff, but I have no time for it. I guess I'm truly a dinosaur.

Haha. I'm trying to pick up everything but I do like to see expected goals, expected saves, and stuff like that. Helps one figure out if the game was lopsided or not... my eye test is very faulty.

...and Brian L. Cornell contributed to no NCAA championships, he was injured in 1967 missing the NCAAs; by 1970 he had graduated
...and Cornell won only two NCAA championships in ice hockey, years apart
...and there are no other cars on this highway.
