I've noticed a few teams in the NHL use iPads on the bench-- besides tracking ice time, and perhaps monitoring heart rate (I think the Sabres are the only ones who monitor this during games so far) what are some of the more obvious benefits of having a device at hand that isn't already accomplished from the pressbox and relayed down to the Assistant coaches?

They're recording the game and are able to tap into that recording. This way, they can show players replays of certain plays. Also, I believe they have quick access to stats like faceoffs won by certain players.
