About Us
Mission Statement
To advance the level of achievement and skill of athletes in sport through engineering technologies that provides accurate feedback on performance.
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to create a technology that will provide feedback to hockey players regarding their individual performance and skill as well as team play. It can also be used by a team to track opponent’s tendencies over the course of a game or season.
Hockey has not progressed as quickly as other sports in using current technologies to develop the sport. We felt that it was a good time to invest in ways to help hockey get into this stream. This product offers an opportunity to grow and expand the tools available to coaches in their coaching methods through technology and an affordable feed back software program.
