They were loaded with infrared sensors that enable special computers to track their movement and present the puck on-screen as a streaking comet, which helped viewers follow the action. Called FoxTrax, it borrowed the technology employed in smart bombs. Each puck had a battery-powered transmitter inside that activated automatically when it hit the ice. The puck also has four sensors on its top surface, four on its bottom and 12 around its sides. As it travelled across the ice, its motion was picked up by 18 sensors located around the rink, which send the data to computers. The technology made its debut during the NHL's 1996 All-Star game in Boston. FoxTrax See Fox Puck Foyston, Frank (- ) Played centre.
