In 2002, the Oakland As did something that no team in Major League Baseball had ever done before: They used big data to build their small-market team into the number one team in the Western division. The practice of using data in sports spread like wildfire. Fast forward to now - how is data shaping professional and amateur teams and athletes across Canada?
In this episode, we talk to:

  • Matt Prefontaine, Video coach for the Winnipeg Jets

  • Christopher Boucher, VP sports development, analytics & hockey ops sport analytics startup SportLogiq
