The [[FoxTrax]] "smart puck" was developed by the [[Fox television network]] when it held [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) broadcasting rights for the United States. The puck had integrated electronics to track its position on screen; a blue streak traced the path of the puck across the ice. The streak would turn red if the puck was shot especially hard. This was an experiment in broadcasting intended to help viewers unfamiliar with hockey to better follow the game by making the puck more visible. It was ill-received by many traditional hockey fans, but appreciated by many of the more casual viewers.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} The system debuted with much publicity in the NHL All-Star game at the Boston [[FleetCenter (Boston)|Fleet Center]] on January 20, 1996, but the system was shelved when Fox Sports lost the NHL broadcast rights three years later.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}
