To retire before the age of 40 is a dream for many professionals. But for a professional athlete, working until then is a sign of lengthy career. By the time most athletes retire from their sport, they still have a lot of opportunity to pursue other professional paths off the ice, field or court.

Today Marty Turco, the current President of the Dallas Stars Foundation and Special Assistant to the President, joined host Tyler Kern for this week’s episode of MarketScale Mornings.

Turco, a former NHL All-Star goaltender, spoke with Kern about the changing landscape of the business side of hockey, what it’s like to be a former athlete in a corporate role and the increasing importance of philanthropy in the league.

Ticketmaster helps OneCourt bring haptic hockey to blind fans at NHL marquee events

Ticketmaster helps OneCourt bring haptic hockey to blind fans at NHL marquee events

OneCourt and the NHL reached a deal to bring OneCourt's haptic devices for blind and low-vision fans to the league's tentpole events, in collaboration with sponsor Ticketmaster. For NHL games, OneCourt ingests the league's NHL Edge puck- and player-tracking data.

  • 01Ticketmaster's sponsorship has helped OneCourt spread through professional sports, so the route into arenas has run through a ticketing sponsor.
  • 02The data OneCourt needs for hockey already exists. The devices ingest the league’s NHL Edge puck and player-tracking feed, so for teams the key questions are sponsorship, access and rollout.
  • 03Season-long deployments mean more than marquee nights. The Avalanche, Blackhawks, Capitals and Red Wings have devices at every home game this season, and a December at-home launch could bring that play-by-play to the couch.

Panthers stay home through $1.3B-plus stadium rebuild

Panthers stay home through $1.3B-plus stadium rebuild

The Panthers' $1.3 billion-plus rebuild of Bank of America Stadium goes all the way down to the plumbing and wiring, with completion targeted for 2030. Charlotte's share is fixed at $650 million. The owner pays any overruns, the seating bowl gets smaller, and some season-ticket holders will have to move.

  • 01Charlotte’s contribution is capped at $650 million. TSE chose the full optional scope; the cap fixes the public share, with overruns on TSE and maintenance assigned to the operator.
  • 02Bank of America Stadium's transformation now exceeds $1.3 billion and reaches the 30-year-old venue's mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. The Panthers and Charlotte FC will keep playing home games there throughout the project.

International Dance League builds its broadcast around the crowd

International Dance League builds its broadcast around the crowd

In the International Dance League, the crowd's reaction is the contest. That makes audio mixing and shots framing dancers with fans the core production problem. Lim plans to add play-by-play and separate the live event from the broadcast show as the league negotiates media rights.

  • 01When the crowd's reaction is the competition, the audio engineer mixing that noise tells as much of the story as any camera.
  • 02The live cut often missed crowd-and-dancer moments later found in the edit room, and the 2027 plan includes longer lenses to frame dancers and audience together.
