New hockey analytics bring new possibilities but also require learning to use the data efficiently. Advanced modern statistics are a relatively new tool in Liiga.
Automatic real-time football analytics were put to action when two Veikkausliiga (the highest tier of the Finnish football league) teams played a pre-season match on Friday, 12 June.
Wisehockey is breaking into the world of football. The world’s first positioning data based real-time football analytics system was tested in May. Automatic real-time statistics based on player and ball tracking have never been seen in football before.
In order to take real-time sports analytics to a new location, it’s not always required to carry out permanent installation work. Wisehockey’s new portable Quuppa locators allow setup of the automatic analytics platform anywhere, on an event site or in a sports venue.
Wisehockey’s automatic real-time hockey analytics platform was implemented in KHL league-wide last summer. Even though the 2019—2020 season was finished early due to the global pandemic, the smart puck system proved its capability in everyday use. KHL published a review of its first year with league-wide real-time statistics, and the future looks bright!
Telia Company announced that MTV will take on Liiga transmissions beginning from the next season. Wisehockey’s smart puck statistics will remain an integral part of MTV’s ice hockey broadcasting.
Wisehockey CEO Tomi Mikkonen explains how the automatic real-time sport analytics platform works. He also has a vision for the future of the product. Wisehockey’s success is the product of hard work and putting latest technologies to the test.
“The analytics system has been very reliable in use. I hope that some young hockey enthusiasts would step forward and start innovating new ways to use smart puck data.” The Chairman of Liiga‘s Board of Directors, Heikki Hiltunen, shared his thoughts and vision for automatic real-time hockey analytics.
