Prior to this year, Sweden Hockey Games was named LG Hockey Games because the tournament was sponsored by LG Electronics. However, after LG decided to drop out their sponsoring, Oddset, a gambling game by Svenska Spel, took over and effectively renamed the tournament to Oddset Hockey Games.[1][2]

gollark: You could get a raspberry pi and one of their cameras? It wouldn't be very good but ought to *work*.
gollark: Also, on the topic of terrible device security, an old router I had had a similar security problem. There was a telnet management interface thing which I noticed had a `ps` command, and it seemed that some lazy/stupid programmer had just made it pass the arguments straight to `system` or something, because you could do `ps ; sh` and... get a root shell...
gollark: IIRC there were cheaper variants but the Raspberry Pi Foundation have some sort of DRM scheme in place for the newer modules.
gollark: `Hi @blitz , according to datasheet, it will be able to take maximum 3288 x 2512px @ 30fps`
gollark: I think someone answered that up a bit...
