AWS, NHL Debut New NHL EDGE IQ ‘Ice Tilt’ Metric Measuring momentum During the Game

While traditional stats like goals scored and save percentage are straightforward to track, more nuanced aspects of a hockey game have been deemed immeasurable – until now. For the first time ever, the NHL is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to go under the hood with Ice Tilt, a NHL EDGE IQ stat that provides accurate, real-time visibility into which team has the edge – and by what margin – at any given point during game play. The innovative analytic, which averages each player’s positional data on the ice mapped to game data over the course of a period, is helping transform the fan experience and how teams track and analyze their performance.
