Our player game evaluations are comprehensive assessments designed to provide valuable insight into a player’s overall performance and development. Using LiveBarn footage, we carefully analyze each game to evaluate critical aspects such as skating stride, shift length, decision-making, team play, aggression, energy usage, and shooting ability. We pay close attention not only to the individual skills but also to how the player integrates with their team, responds to game situations, and contributes to overall play. After thoroughly reviewing the footage, we create a detailed write-up summarizing our observations, highlighting strengths, identifying areas for improvement, and offering actionable feedback. This evaluation is then shared with the player and their family to support their growth and help guide future development both on and off the ice. 

In addition to our standard skill review, players have the option to customize their analysis by selecting any four skill areas from our comprehensive list. This allows for a more targeted evaluation based on individual needs or current training focus. Whether a player is working on refining their shot mechanics or developing better edge control,  this personalized approach ensures they receive feedback that’s directly relevant to their goals. Available skill areas to choose from include: inside edges, outside edges, forward stride, forward crossovers, backward crossovers, hockey stops, backhand shot, snapshot, wrist shot, slapshot, one-timers, linear crossovers, and transitions.

Our Skills Analysis provides players with a detailed breakdown of key skating and shooting fundamentals by reviewing video footage of their on-ice performance. Players submit clips demonstrating specific skills such as Outside edges, Forward stride, Backward crossovers, and Snapshot mechanics. We carefully analyze each movement, identifying both strengths and technical areas that need development. After reviewing the footage, we deliver a personalized written assessment that highlights the most important adjustments to make and offers clear, actionable recommendations to improve form, efficiency, and overall execution. This process helps players gain a deeper understanding of their mechanics and equips them with the guidance needed to elevate their game.
