Video: Rogers NHL Referee Camera highlights

As you probably already know, the NHL signed a deal with GoPro Inc. just over a week ago, which has given them access to the company’s unique portable camera for games.

While I’m not entirely sure if they used actual GoPros for yesterday’s games, here is some of the outstanding POV footage that was integrated during live game broadcasts.

It made two appearances; first in the Leafs and Canadiens season opener, and then in the late-night affair between the Canucks and Flames.

Above is a compilation of some very cool clips that were captured. Below is a GIF of a scrum in front of goaltender Carey Price from the point-of-view of the referee.
