Inspired by the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milano-Cortina, this year’s Challenge Cup Final brought fans closer to the action than ever before with expanded use of the on-ice camera.
Previously used during playoff and cup finals in pre- and post-game coverage, this season the on-ice camera was deployed throughout the game itself. It captured immediate post-goal reactions, power-break moments, and end-of-period scenes, including a close-up view of some pushing and shoving at the end of the second period.
Thank you to Joel Gavigan for operating the camera, and to Visionmix for their cooperation in incorporating these additional angles into the production.
