Sense Arena, a virtual-reality platform that claims partnerships with five NHL teams, recently announced that athletes at Boston College and Arizona State University are now also donning headsets to improve their skills. The platform allows users to train hockey drills designed for passing, shooting, reaction time, checking and goaltending.
