In elite hockey, every split-second matter. Recent data and analysis make it clear that a significant proportion of game-deciding plays and goals in hockey are initiated by a sudden burst of speed or a one-on-one puck battle—situations most often won by the player with faster acceleration.
Across NHL organizations and top academies, the focus on explosive skating acceleration is redefining how teams approach player development. Gone are the days when guesswork and tradition were enough. Now, measurable, real-time data is what allows coaches and athletes to gain the edge, track undeniable progress, and reliably build a path to elite performance.
By addressing the single element that most influences the outcome of every game-changing moment, Skating Analysis Acceleration makes raw effort measurable and improvement transparent. This technology creates clarity in the development process and raises the bar for what’s possible in every program or center.
After several years of proven success with the Skating Analysis system focused on transactional skating—a solution trusted by our customers in numerous countries around the world, including hockey powerhouses like Canada and the USA—we are proud to introduce the next stage in skating diagnostics: advanced acceleration analysis.
This new acceleration analysis module was developed in close collaboration with leading hockey coaches, who helped define the crucial positions and the best methods for evaluating them. Their real-world experience and on-ice expertise are built into every facet of the system, ensuring it delivers meaningful feedback and actionable metrics for both players and professionals.
To understand how this new AI-powered solution works, imagine a training session where an athlete’s movement and skating mechanics during acceleration are captured and analyzed using advanced video and data processing. The system observes the player’s execution of high-intensity acceleration tasks and evaluates key elements of skating technique relevant to explosive starts. After each diagnostic session, objective feedback is generated, offering visual summaries and progress indicators that are easy to interpret for both coaches and players. This immediate insight helps coaches adjust training programs and allows players to clearly track their improvement in acceleration and overall skating skills—without revealing any proprietary methods or internal system mechanics.
With beeSPORT Skating Analysis Acceleration, progress is not just visible; it is motivating and objective. Players experience continuous engagement as their improvements are mapped and tracked over time, building confidence and a concrete sense of success. Coaches benefit from highly individualized feedback, which allows them to shift quickly from identifying weaknesses to maximizing strengths, and to adjust training targets with real, numerical backing. For facility owners, the solution is more than just new technology—it becomes a business advantage and a talking point that distinguishes their center from the competition, helping retain clients and attract new ones. Parents and other decision-makers appreciate transparent, professional data that makes every investment in player development easier to justify.
What sets this system apart from any alternative is its true hockey specificity. Unlike generic sports wearables or stopwatch-based testing, beeSPORT Skating Analysis applies advanced AI movement capture engineered for the dynamic realities of hockey sprinting. All functions are fully automated and intuitive, so even non-technical staff can access in-depth diagnostics at the push of a button. Where traditional methods only estimate total time and miss the details of movement, this platform breaks down every stage of acceleration with scientific precision. The result is an unrivalled look beneath the surface, turning the invisible into clearly managed improvement.
beeSPORT Skating Analysis Acceleration is not just an incremental upgrade for existing users of the Skating Analysis platform. It is a genuine leap forward—a shift from rough estimation to a new era of quantifiable, high-performance diagnostics. For new customers, adoption offers an instant edge over competitors. For current clients, upgrading is the way to guarantee their programs won’t be left behind by a fast-evolving market.
