Innovative technologies in training practice for hockey players

What HDTS will bring in 2025

As the year ends, HDTS proudly unveils ground-breaking technologies and systems that will debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Innovative Sport Science (ISS), a company under the Global SDA Holding, these innovations aim to revolutionize how hockey players train and are evaluated. Our mission is to help athletes and coaches push performance boundaries and enhance training efficiency.

AI-Powered acceleration analysis

In early 2025, we will launch a revolutionary system for analysing player acceleration. This innovation uses the same advanced technology as our Skating Analysis system, enabling player evaluation during skatemill training.

Acceleration is one of hockey's most critical elements, often determining success in key moments. A player's ability to accelerate quickly can mean the difference between winning the puck or losing an opportunity. With precise AI-driven analysis, coaches and players receive immediate feedback to target and improve this crucial aspect of the game. The results from this analysis will be directly applied in training processes at our centers, enabling coaches to adapt training plans and systematically enhance players' acceleration quality.

New starting analysis system

Complementing acceleration analysis, a new program for evaluating starts will be introduced. This system monitors how players transition from a static position to maximum speed, utilizing high-speed cameras and AI-powered data processing. By focusing on explosive starts, players can improve their ability to react quickly and gain a competitive edge.

Enhanced testing standards for PowerGate

Our globally unique PowerGate system, providing comprehensive player readiness assessments, will receive a significant update in 2025. Unlike traditional tests, PowerGate evaluates player performance on a skatemill, simulating natural ice skating conditions. This approach offers coaches unparalleled insights into players' fitness and potential.

Collaboration with VALD on developing an innovative tester

Our partnership with VALD Performance focuses on advancing the innovative Tester solution, a key component of the beeSPORT system. Together, we are integrating cutting-edge technologies to enhance the efficiency of player diagnostics and training.

Redesigned beeSPORT ecosystem

The new version of the beeSPORT system, developed by ISS, will combine all the aforementioned innovations into a unified, comprehensive platform. The improved design prioritizes ergonomics and intuitive operation, making it even more accessible for coaches and players.

Specialized solutions for Hockey Gyms

One of the main advancements is the integration of the Lux Trainer application, which will also undergo a visual update to align seamlessly with the new beeSPORT design. Lux Trainer allows coaches to create personalized training plans, optimizing skill development and peak performance. These solutions will be interconnected with hockey gym systems, ensuring complete integration of training plans.

In collaboration with Hammer Strength, we will offer specialized solutions for hockey gyms. These include state-of-the-art equipment and technologies to improve players' strength and conditioning, perfectly complementing our training systems. These solutions will also be connected to the Lux Trainer application.

Advancements in game analysis with statistical solutions

We are working diligently to become an integral part of game evaluation and statistical systems. In collaboration with industry experts, we are developing advanced solutions seamlessly integrated with HDTS and ISS technologies. These innovations offer in-depth game analysis to support both individual and team performance.

2025: A year of innovation

The technologies we are introducing in 2025 represent the future of hockey training and development. At HDTS and ISS, we constantly strive to push boundaries and deliver top-tier solutions that redefine standards in hockey preparation. Our innovations open new opportunities in sports science and enable athletes to achieve new heights.
