Seattle startup OneCourt is putting its haptic tablets into hockey, GeekWire reported Thursday. The NHL and Ticketmaster are making the devices available free at the league's marquee events this season and at all home games for the Washington Capitals, Colorado Avalanche, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings. The tablets turn real-time game data into vibrations that fans follow with their fingertips. For hockey, OneCourt uses the NHL's EDGE puck and player tracking data.

The hockey launch debuted at the Heritage Classic on Oct. 25. CEO Jerred Mace, who started OneCourt as a University of Washington industrial-design student with three fellow UW graduates, said the community had asked for hockey from day one. Ticketmaster has offered the tablets at every home game for nine NBA teams since 2025 and backed an NFL pilot that included the Seattle Seahawks, plus Super Bowl LX. Time named OneCourt's tablet to its Best Inventions of 2026 list last month.
