Evaluations & combines

See the whole player.

A clear, game-aware view of how a player moves, handles the puck, makes decisions and competes.

The complete picture

More than a timed drill.

A useful evaluation looks beyond one result. It considers the habits and choices that help a player contribute across the full 200 feet of the ice.

Balance, acceleration, edge control, transitions and the ability to move efficiently in hockey situations.

Control, passing, receiving and shooting while moving, under pressure and with a clear purpose.

Scanning, timing, support, space recognition and the choices a player makes as the play changes.

Engagement, puck pursuit, recovery effort and the details that connect individual skill to team play.

The process

Each stage is designed to show what a player can do and where focused development can make the biggest difference.

Establish the contextAlign the session with the age group, level and purpose of the evaluation.

Observe the detailsUse purposeful movement, skill and competitive situations to reveal repeatable habits.

Connect the evidenceLook for patterns across skills and situations—not a single isolated rep.

Flexible formats

A focused assessment for players and families who want an honest view of current habits and development priorities.
