The VDS GameTrak system for NHL Center Ice features the display of game schedules, scores and clocks, game situation information, including overtime indicators for each game in progress. It also provides fans with league standings and team stats and records as well as game previews and summaries. Viewers also can see game scoring summaries as well as NHL news and promotional information in a lower-third format, with live operator input.
