Digital Sports Report

The wait has ended and the NHL hockey season is finally under way! Since the lockout in 2005, the Stanley Cup Champion has been an XOS partner using either XOS Thunder or XOS VEGA as their editing system.

Through my career at XOS Digital, I have been fortunate enough to attend many tradeshows, conferences and conventions. Last month, I attended the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) convention. If you’ve never been before and you’re involved in hockey, you’re missing out. AHCA knows how to put on a great show.

Spending an entire week at the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Course is a welcome change after the grueling months of the hockey season. As one would imagine, this environment also provides a slight reprieve before the many months of preparation for the 2012-2013 run. However, despite surrounding distractions (beach, golf and pool), the AHCA convention was extremely productive for XOS Digital and our XOS Thunder Hockey HD video editing system.

Just as people evolve and grow, so does the sports world and all that it encompasses.

Take, for example, hockey. Its early North American beginnings introduced the sport as a seven-man game with equipment consisting of blades on shoes and tree branches as sticks.
