NHL, Honeywell Team Up to Build Smarter Arenas

The NHL is linking up with Honeywell to push arenas into a more digitally enabled era, which is corporate-speak for making buildings do a lot more work behind the scenes. These partnerships usually touch everything from operations to the fan experience, and the league clearly wants the modern rink to feel less like a barn and more like a data machine. It is another sign that the business of hockey keeps getting as sophisticated as the play on the ice.
