Game-Changing Hockey Video Analysis: ICE RAY's Tech Advantage

Every hockey parent dreams of seeing their child dominate on the ice. But what separates good players from elite ones? At ICE RAY Hockey Academy, the answer lies in our professional hockey video analysis—a tool once reserved for pro athletes, now powering Toronto’s next generation of hockey stars.  

While most hockey schools rely on instinctive coaching, we combine expert instruction with frame-by-frame video breakdowns to uncover hidden skill gaps. The result? Faster development, smarter play, and measurable results.  

Your Child’s Personal Hockey Video Coach  

At ICE RAY, every player gets a dedicated hockey video coach who acts as their personal skill detective. Our coaches don’t just watch games—they dissect them using:  

- Multi-angle recordings to analyze skating mechanics, puck handling, and positioning  

- Digital annotation tools to highlight tactical opportunities  

- Side-by-side comparisons with NHL-level techniques  

Kids begin to understand the game better, and after 3–4 sessions, they can start identifying their own mistakes.

 Inside ICE RAY’s Hockey Video Analysis Process  

 Step 1: Capture  

All hockey game recordings in the GTA are available online. If you have your own footage — whether from ice level, overhead, or behind the nets — that will also be helpful.

 Step 2: Break Down  

Coaches isolate key moments using our pro-grade hockey video analysis software, examining:  

- Skating stride efficiency (weight transfer, edge work)  

- Puck protection angles  

- Positional awareness during plays  

 Step 3: Act  

Players receive:  

- Custom skill drills targeting weaknesses spotted on video  

- Personalized hockey skills video libraries for at-home study  

- Bi-weekly progress tracking via digital portfolios  

 Hockey Skating Videos: Fix What the Naked Eye Misses  

Even experienced coaches can’t catch every detail in real time. Our slow-motion hockey skating videos reveal:  

- Uneven weight distribution during turns  

- Inefficient push-off mechanics  

- Poor recovery positioning after falls  

At Ice Ray, we use the same video analysis software as NHL teams — Hudl.

Also during games with teams we are working with, our video coach provides real-time video breakdowns directly on the bench, allowing the head coach to make immediate adjustments. He also uses a headset to alert the coach to important on-ice details as they happen. 

 From Video Review to Victory: Building Hockey IQ  

Video analysis isn’t just about physical skills. We use game footage to teach:  

- Reading opponent tendencies (stick positioning, skating patterns)  

- Decision-making under pressure  

- Position-specific strategies through curated NHL video examples  

 Parents As Partners: Access Your Child’s Hockey Skills Video Library  

Parents receive access to a Google Drive folder with video analysis, where they can download the materials and build their own library of their child’s hockey development.
