I know this post isn't really about the hockey part and more about the ML part, but I think it would be more practical to analyze and maybe use the Budweiser Redlight API if possible (I haven't looked into it yet or have one) to get almost instant goal reporting for your team of choice.

I have seen it in action and it's like ~2 seconds off from a live feed.

Really nice post and I'll be using it implement a few things around the house (like trying to monitor kids crying, etc).

I believe their system works by employing a man to push a button, which is then routed to your light.

They note in their fine print that they may end the service at any point, which renders it fairly useless.

As you said, you may be able to find a way of spoofing the goal signal. But now, you are just the man pushing the button.

I feel like human-integrated solutions are starting to become more and more of a thing, for example, Magic, this Budweiser Redlight, Rabbit (I think that's what it's called? For IT-related tasks), and so on. I'm surprised these services didn't exist sooner.
