The National Hockey League will now tap into AWS services’ depth to bring the fans closer to the ice rink. AWS has announced that it is now the official Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning Infrastructure Provider of the NHL.For the upcoming season, NHL is now preparing to introduce its new analytics using AWS services.

“AWS’s state-of-the-art technology and services will provide us with capabilities to deliver analytics and insights that highlight the speed and skill of our game to drive deeper fan engagement. AWS is unmatched in the portfolio of cloud services that it delivers, including computer vision and machine learning, and we intend to leverage them across the board to provide advanced analysis to our teams, officials, and media partners faster than ever before,”said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

With AWS onboard, NHL will be able to automate video processing and content delivery in the cloud. The League is also building an enterprise video platform on AWS to aggregate video, data, and related applications in to one central repository. This will give broadcasters instant access to NHL content for syndication and licensing and facilitate the creation and delivery of new in-game analyses, predictions, and video highlights to enhance mobile, online, and broadcast experiences.
