Your Hockey Journey—Guided by Analysis, Proven on the Ice

This case study breaks down how we used Hudl Instat clips and age-aware coaching to help [Athlete Name] ([Level/Team]) fix specific habits, make faster reads, and turn practice into real game results.

What We Worked On—and Why It Mattered

We started with [Athlete Name]’s game film and identified the patterns that limited impact: timing on entries, puck protection under pressure, and decision speed off the wall (examples below). Each week combined slow-mo breakdowns with voiceover and on-ice cues—simple, repeatable steps to try in the next skate. The goal wasn’t more drills; it was better reads parents can see on film.

Starting Point & Goals

Level/position, target outcome (make U15AAA / earn CHL camp / secure NCAA looks). Key issues spotted on film (e.g., late on entries, losing pucks under contact, rushing low-percentage shots).

Training Plan & Cues

What we changed. Weekly focus with 1–2 game cues (e.g., “scan shoulder at blue,” “place puck to back skate on pressure,” “delay to middle support”). On-ice reps in Breakfast Club (Calgary, Sept–Mar) or Spring Camp (Apr–Jun) to lock habits.
