Last week the NHL announced that they have a five-year partnership with SAP, which is now the official cloud software provider for the league. SAP is going to try and make NHL.com the only site that fans need to use. They are going to now offer 35 additional statistical metrics on NHL.com. They also redesigned the presentation of their website to feature more player head shots and visual cues on their statistical page. Along with making the website more attractive the league also plans to change some of the names of the stats. An example of this is the statistic know as "Corsi" will now read "shot attempts for."
I think that this plan is a great one. If SAP can make NHL.com the only site that fans need to use then it will create a better environment at games and make it easier for fans to follow the team on the road. I think that changing the stats name is a good idea. Even if you know hockey you may not know the technical names for the statistical recording. This again will make it easier for fans to follow the athletes.
