EVALUATING HOCKEY PLAYERS
through
3D MOTION ANALYSIS


 
 

 

 
 
 
3DMA is a measurement and analysis tool which can provide key additional information and insight to coaches, scouts, medical staff and strength and conditioning personnel.  It enhances traditional evaluations involving effective physical screens and medical testing.   

While 3DMA can be used to evaluate any action or movement, the primary recommended initial focus in relation to hockey involves an objective measurement of the Biomechanics of Skating - the ability of the athlete to efficiently create explosive power while stabilizing and moving their centre of mass in multiple directions.   

3DMA technology is revolutionary in its application to hockey at the player development and coaching level, but the technology itself is well established in sports science and human motion research.  Ask the following questions:

 

  • What is it worth to your organization to reduce the number of man-games lost to injury by both reducing the injury risk for your players and ensuring injured players return faster to their pre-injury status? 
  • What is it worth to your organization to improve your ability to evaluate one prospect over another? 
  • What is it worth to your organization to gain an edge in your player development by enhancing information gained by your current strength and conditioning and medical staff?

 3DMA is an evaluation tool which can be applied to Player Development, Scouting and Injury Rehabilitation and Prevention.  As a tool it is fast, it places no impedance or risk to a player and it is portable for use in multiple sites and situations.  Additionally it places no additional man-hour demand on your current staff.
