The Astucemedia Hockey Module is the web app management tool designed specifically for the Data Platform server to manage all incoming Hockey data feeds from Opta, STATS, and SportRadar, along with real-time player & puck tracking from Jogmo World.

The Astucemedia Data Platform Hockey module combined with the Astucemedia Vizrt Shared Memory and Astucemedia Vizrt Hockey plugins make it easy for newsroom staff to update and select data using the vizrt feed browser within content pilot or newsroom component. Customized hockey data templates allow producers and content editors to quickly search or choose matches, players, or rankings created within the data platform web module while utilizing your existing Vizrt MSE and Update Service workflow.
