GoPro's have a Mini-HDMI output that you can plug in to. Buy a Mini-to-Standard HDMI cable and you're set. If you need a device to help you archive matches on the fly I recommend the Hauppauge HD PVR 2. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

If you have any more questions feel free to PM me. I'm not too experienced, but I wouldn't mind helping any way I can.

ninja-edit: alternatively, there is built-in WiFi that allows you to remotely view what the GoPro sees from a console. (iPhone/iPod via App, Computer, etc). You may be able to stream that way but I've never tried.

Team 1678 has been working on something very similar to what you guys are talking about. We're using Xsplit with custom video overlays and then streaming it via twitch.tv.

The system is still in production but we plan to debut it at Powerhouse Pwnage in September. For now though, here's a screenshot of the prototype UI:
