Purpose
The project aims to get a better understanding of how elite ice hockey players scan and explore their environment on the ice in games, and the extent to which scanning is related to performance in offensive and defensive phases of the game and player safety.
Project Description
There will be four studies conducted to achieve the abovementioned objectives. Data is going to be collected from the ice hockey games. Video footage is going to be coded using Hudl’s SportsCode performance analysis software. The performance metrics are going to be provided by the external advanced analytics provider to capture a variety of performance indicators in defensive and offensive phases of the game
Results
The project is at the data collection stage and the preliminary results will be available later in the spring of 2025.
