By Jessica

Concept is partnering with Sportsnet, Rogers, The NHL, Intel, GEDI, and Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business to offer an incredible experience exclusively for UWaterloo students to be on the forefront of sports tech innovation. 


Sportsnet Hockey Hack: Powered by Rogers 5G is a collaborative, week-long hackathon offering the unique opportunity for participants to work with Rogers’ ground-breaking, low latency 5G technology. Students will have access to real on-ice tracking data from 2020 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs games and use it to test and implement their innovative solutions. The overall goal of the week is to take the problem statement and will devise innovative ways to increase audience engagement and enhance the fan experience for Sportsnet viewers. 


Participants will gain hands on experience working with 5G technology and taking a project from problem to solution within the week. You will work closely with experts from The NHL, Rogers, Sportsnet, and Intel to develop the best solution possible and have constant technical support. Winning teams will have the opportunity to work for Rogers through a co-op term or temporary contract and receive increased support post-event to continue developing their idea.  

Don’t miss out on your chance to secure one of ten job placements, work with cutting edge technology, gain access to high profile partners, and change the way fans interact with hockey. Apply today!
