Current: The NHL has begun testing the practical uses of a goal "verification line" behind the goal line (green). This line would work in conjunction with a clear plexiglass sheet at the top of the net to allow the above-the-net cameras a clearer view for disputed goal scenarios. Future: The league will add a chip to the core of the puck which, subject to testing, does not impact game performance (vast technological improvements have been made since FoxTrax laser pucks were sampled in 1995). Sensors added to the plane of the goal (from ice surface up to cross bar) will detect if a puck completely crosses the goal line.

Customizable in-game stat tracking Television broadcasts will soon allow users to view personalized player statistics in real-time as the action is happening literally on the surface of the ice (technologically similar to the NFL's yellow first-down marker).
