Pro Hockey and DVRs

Wired News has a great story today on the use of DVR video tools by the San Jose Sharks pro hockey team. Using a combination of tablet PCs and a video server, a coach can call up video immediately recorded during a game, to review plays. The article is light on technical details but they point out similar products that sports-themed technology companies produce. It seems like this would be pretty easy to setup with a Windows Media Center server connected to a game feed, a wireless network at the game, and a laptop in the coach's hands.

Great article. I've been watching as much of this year's playoffs as I can, and there just is no other way to watch a sports game than with a DVR.
