FOX and the Glowing Puck

As a huge fan of hockey i wanted to bring up a quirky little thing that the NHL and the Fox network came up with in the mid 90′s.  During this time FOX decided to make the game a little more exciting by taking the puck, and sort of highlighting it.  Throughout the whole entire game the puck would glow, and on shots a beam of light would trail behind the behind puck.  This really is not a prolific thing in sports television history, but it was the first time something like this was done.  It was an interesting concept, but it eventually just got annoying to see a glowing puck the whole game.  The video I have provided it is kind of hard to tell that it is glowing, but when someone shoots the puck it is noticeable.
