Oh man, GoPro managed to get so many good players to do this. Very cool to see some of these angles of the players doing what they do best.

Step on the ice with a few of the NHL’s best as they give you a rare glimpse into their unique skill sets during the Player Media Tour in Newark, NJ.

See the game from the perspectives of Patrice Bergeron, Sidney Crosby, Taylor Hall, Patrick Kane, Henrik Lundqvist, TJ Oshie, Alex Ovechkin, Zach Parise, Tuukka Rask, Tyler Seguin, PK Subban and Jonathan Toews.

Nike Football: The Last Game ft. Ronaldo, Neymar Jr., Rooney, Zlatan, Iniesta & more http://mitchmckenna.com/post/14485/nike-football-the-last-game-ft-ronaldo-neymar-jr-rooney-zlatan-iniesta-more

'The Last Game' is a story about risky football versus safe football.

The scientist and the clones want to prove that riskless football is more effective.

Ronaldo Fenomeno and the original players disagree, and they are willing to risk everything to prove the scientist wrong. There is only one way to know who is right: the Last Game.

Featuring (animated): Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Neymar Júnior, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Andrés Iniesta, David Luiz, Franck Ribéry, Tim Howard and Ronaldo Fenomeno.

Real-time Personal Golf Game Tracking http://mitchmckenna.com/post/13543/game-golf-game-your-game

Last time I was home (golf's big on PEI), my cousin Pat (Mech Engineer), brother-in-law Jeff (business guy) and I (programmer) were trying to think how we could automatically track our golf game we had just got back from. We were trying to figure out how we could put some kind of tracking in the golf balls, gps, or a camera system tracking color coded golf balls, etc.

I just saw John McGuire the founder of GAME GOLF present at On Deck West sports & tech conference while I was here to see Aaron present Blue. It's pretty smart, and so much simpler than what we were thinking. The golfer's got a device hooked up to his belt (which I assume is paired to your phone), when your about to hit the ball you tap your club (which has a NFC "tag" on it) against the device on your belt, then the next time you're up to hit you do the same thing, now the system knows from your GPS where you're at on the course and how far your last shot was, all without taking out your phone on the course. GOLF GAME will be available in Apple Stores soon for $200-$300.

GAME GOLF, backed by professional golfers Graeme McDowell and Lee Westwood, captures the golfers round and allows for a visual representation of the round and calculates a variety of statistics to give the golfer insights into their game such as club usage, fairways hit, greens in regulation, distances, etc. GAME GOLF also enables the golfer to view their game, and create a social media component where the golfer can share their round, compare to others, and compete with friends or colleagues across the country or world.

Shockbox helmet sensor on Dragon's Den http://mitchmckenna.com/post/12492/dragons-den-shockbox-helmet-sensor-pitch

Concussions have become a huge concern in contact sports in recent years. My cousin Ryan (who runs SportsSuperStation.com) suffered multiple concussions in Hockey which had some scary lasting effects, and forced him to quit sports for a while. Shockbox helmet sensors for concussion management were recently featured on CBC's Dragons' Den. They've got a solid demo video now too. After you watch the video below, read what happened after the show.

Chess + Boxing = Extreme New Sport http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7208/official-video-of-the-los-angeles-chessboxing-club

Is it April 1st? Nope, chess and physical combat are being merged not only in the U.S. but in Europe where a bloodier version is flourishing. The slogan for the Berlin-based World Chess Boxing Organization: "Fighting is done in the ring and wars are waged on the board."
