The NHL and Ticketmaster are expanding access to OneCourt tablets that let blind and low-vision fans follow games through vibrations beneath their fingertips.

The devices will be available free at Guest Services for the league’s major North American events during the 2026-27 season, Ticketmaster announced Thursday. The rollout began at the Heritage Classic on Oct. 25 and includes the Winter Classic, All-Star events and Stadium Series.

Washington, Colorado, Chicago and Detroit are the first NHL teams offering the tablets at all home games.

The technology converts live puck and player-tracking data into tactile signals, giving fans another way to follow movement on the ice.
