## Resource

On June 24, 1991, the NHL Board of Governors made history by unanimously approving instant replay for disputed goals and introducing a tenth-of-a-second clock for the final minute of each period. This episode explores why these changes were needed, the dramatic moments that led to them, and how they transformed officiating and fairness in hockey. We break down the rule specifics, the impact on the sport, and how the NHL’s move compared to the NFL and MLB’s adoption of replay technology. Discover the legacy of these innovations and their influence on modern sports.
