Problem
Hockey teams lack objective, on‑ice measurements of individual skating mechanics, making it difficult to track development, detect early injury risk, and verify full recovery after injury. Traditional video and tracking systems cannot capture bilateral load and stride asymmetries directly from the skates.
Solution
Scorched Ice provides a skating intelligence platform that equips each skate with a lightweight, waterproof sensor to capture bilateral load, stride dynamics, and mechanical stress in real time. The system creates a personal Skating Signature for each player and continuously computes a SCORCH Index that quantifies deviations from the player’s normal pattern. Coaches receive data‑driven insights on workload distribution, fatigue, and compensations, enabling targeted development plans, early injury‑prevention interventions, and evidence‑based return‑to‑play decisions. All data are stored securely and visualized through a cloud‑based dashboard accessible to authorized staff.
Target Audience
Primary customers are professional and elite hockey organizations—including NHL teams, junior and senior leagues, and high‑performance training facilities—that require precise on‑ice performance data for athletes.
Features
- Independent sensors on left and right skates to measure true bilateral load and asymmetry
- Real‑time capture of stride, stop, and battle mechanics with a durable, game‑ready design
- Personal Skating Signature baseline and SCORCH Index to track mechanical deviations over time
- Cloud analytics platform that highlights fatigue patterns, load overload, and incomplete recovery
- Dashboard for coaches to monitor on‑ice workload, compare against baselines, and adjust training intensity
- Simple charging and long‑lasting battery for daily use without disrupting practice schedules
