GoPro & the NHL strike a deal, and we cannot wait for the footage!

Have you ever tried to imagine what it must be like to be Phil Kessel on a breakaway? Or what it looks like when you get hit by Dion Phaneuf? So have we, and with a new deal being struck between the NHL and GoPro, that very experience is coming to you, as of this season! The NHL has struck a content-sharing deal with GoPro cameras to offer TV viewers exactly that kind of player point of view (POV) this season. The footage will be used for promo campaigns, and the two national broadcasters (NBC Sports in the US, Rogers in Canada) will also include clips during game telecast. We can only envision all the close-up stickhandling, shooting, hitting and skating skills... Can this season just get started already?!?!
