Following the April 27 introduction of NHL Blast on Roblox, the league is releasing 3D goal re-creations in NHL Blast on Roblox for every goal scored during the Stanley Cup Final produced with NHL EDGE data (Puck and Player Tracking technology).
A 3D goal re-creation of Vegas Golden Knights defender Zach Whitecloud’s Game 1 goal can be seen HERE.
3D goal re-creations, created in collaboration with metaverse development firm The Gang and virtualization expert Beyond Sports, bring spectators closer to Stanley Cup Final games than ever before. Fans may choose particular goals to immerse their Roblox digital avatars in the incredible speed and skill of NHL players, all while photographing the goal from various perspectives. The 2023 Stanley Cup Final 3D goal re-creations are available on desktop and mobile platforms.
“The addition of 3D goal re-creations in NHL Blast furthers our commitment to use innovation to engage with new and existing fans – especially during our biggest event of the year, the Stanley Cup Final,” says David Lehanski, NHL Executive Vice President of Business Development and Innovation. “After years of investing in NHL EDGE technology, we are continuing to uncover ways in which the data can create entirely new fan experiences for younger audiences and showcase elements of our great game in entertaining ways.”
The new goal re-creations are powered by the same NHL EDGE data and Beyond Sports virtualization technology that ESPN and Disney Channel used for the “NHL Big City Greens Classic,” the first-ever live, animated NHL game broadcast, which aired on March 14 and featured the Washington Capitals vs. New York Rangers.
