Memory Lane: Laser Puck

     Laser puck, and glow puck were the unofficial names of a late 90's technology known as FoxTrax.  Fox Sports used FoxTrax (or laser puck) during its NHL (National Hockey League) broadcasts from 1996-1998.  The puck was lit up with a glow around it, and trails followed the puck after shots were released.
     The FoxTrax feature reminded me of a video game, and traditional hockey fans absolutely hated it.  I personally liked it, and casual hockey fans seemed to like it as well.  Video games continue to look more like the games on television, and the games on television continue to look more like a video game.  The NHL is currently experimenting with new puck tracking technology.
