33 Players Eligible to Represent Team NOHA will Participate in HockeyTech’s NEXT Testing
November 20, 2014 [Guelph, ON] HockeyTech has made available its NEXT Testing program to 33 players from the Northern Ontario Hockey Association (NOHA). On Friday November 21st, 2014 these 33 Skaters (12 defenseman and 21 forwards) will obtain baseline standardized on-ice testing results, which will be made available within HockeyTech’s RinkNet system for analysis and comparison.
NEXT Testing is a service of HockeyTech which is based upon the most current science and sports research, bringing the latest equipment and protocols to bear in assessing and evaluating hockey specific skills and athletic performance potential. NEXT Testing utilizes high tech precision sensors tracking players wearing RFID tags. Testing results are not just start and finish, but rather capture seventy interval times enabling scientific measurements of speed, acceleration, transition and reaction times. All results are summarized in an easily understandable and actionable format, including a single scored index called the NEXT Testing Index (NTI). For the first time in hockey history, there is one universal test to measure players worldwide on a truly level playing field.
Top NOHA players will be put to the test over the 3 day weekend, as only 19 players will be selected to represent Team NOHA.
