Latest Updates
Upcoming combines, player development insights, and news from Ice Cold Analytics and the Drive Hockey platform.
The Ice Cold Analytics Player Development & Analytics Combine is coming this June to the Edmonton area. Athletes in U11, U13, U15, and U18 age groups will skate through standardized Drive Hockey testing sessions and receive their professional development reports.
Spots are limited by age group to ensure quality data capture and individual attention. Early registration is strongly recommended.
Parents often ask what they'll actually learn from a combine report. The answer goes well beyond "fast" or "slow." Drive Hockey's AI captures the mechanics behind the speed — why a player is losing edges in tight turns, where their crossover is bleeding time, how their conditioning is affecting their first step in the third period.
Subjective evaluations give impressions. Analytics give targets. When you know specifically what to work on, every training session becomes more efficient.
Every athlete who completes an Ice Cold Analytics combine receives their results benchmarked against Drive Hockey's Player Performance Index (PPI). The PPI is a database of athletes across all skill levels — from community hockey to professional prospects.
This means your athlete's results aren't just numbers in isolation. They're compared against a real population, giving you an honest picture of where they stand relative to their peers and what elite players at their age group look like.
I played hockey at the University of Alberta and spent years wondering the same thing every serious player wonders: what do I actually need to work on? Coaches gave feedback. Trainers gave drills. But the precise, measurable data that could tell me exactly where my skating was costing me — that didn't exist for players like me.
Ice Cold Analytics is the answer to that question. My goal is simple: every athlete in Alberta who wants this level of insight should be able to get it, at a price point that works for real families.
Combine dates are announced here first. Check back regularly or get in touch to be notified directly.
