Option 2:

I received an interesting proposal from a hockey data site the other day. They track on-ice analytics and want a player to wear some equipment on the ice to help them track certain stats. I was contacted, as were a few other players, to be someone to try it out. I was intrigued, but wanted to wear the equipment first to make sure it didn't affect my performance on the ice.

I tried the equipment out and it was all very tiny and discreet and had no impact on me so I decided to accept. I like the idea of giving fans a new perspective to the game. In this day, people are clamouring for more in depth statistics and analytics are a new wave of those. It gets the fans engaged, but also helps players and coaches identify new areas of need as well. You can use the information however you want, but I think we can all agree more information is never a bad thing. So, yes, I agreed to help and hopefully some interesting stats can come from this project.
