I remember that and here is some footage from that experiment. It was ridiculed at the time but I thought it had potential. Remember, this was over 20 years ago. I'm sure technology has improved to where it can be done not so "cartoonish."

My suggestion is to enlarge the puck and keep it a constant reddish or blueish color while saving the blue and red "streaks" for instant replays.

Anyway, I haven't watched hockey on TV in ages so maybe it looks better on the high res TVs.

I don’t think they need to enlarge the actual puck. I’m fine watching it on a big screen at home. But agreed that the puck can be hard to see on smaller TVs. They can put the down lines on the football field on the screen; why can’t they illuminate the puck on camera the same way? But it would have to be perfect, otherwise I like it better the way it is. What I miss on tv is the line changing. But it’s ok. Still awesome on tv and I still get emotional!
