    there’s zero chance ai can call penalties in hockey (yet).

    Decision making is far more subjective than objective in calling a game.

      You’re right. But AI could be watching every player on the ice and flag anything that might look like high sticking, or offsides, or cross checking, and then one ref in a booth reviews the play. You could have three refs in three rooms, and if two out of three call the penalty, it goes to the ice. They could watch every game from one location, and there would be little room for debate.
