While scouting and coaching ability certainly play a role, testing is a big piece of the puzzle. Testing puts everyone on the same playing field, using historical data to predict future success.
Okanagan Hockey has built a team with expertise in the leading edge of decision analytics, with a wealth of experience in on-ice testing. This combination of testing and analytics leads to superior decision-making, allowing you and your organization to effectively predict a player’s future success.
SportTesting Analytics are the future!
They provide an un-biased view of your athletes’ abilities both on and off the ice. They allow you to track them as they grow and, most importantly, they provide the ability to measure your athletes against the best and build an ideal development plan.
The bottom line? SportTesting Analytics will help your organization become smarter and faster than the competition.
Test. And be ahead of the curve.
In addition to the individual Athlete Reports sent to each participant, we will provide multiple detailed Coach Reports for your evaluating, assessment and development needs.

This is an opportunity to be tested using the same equipment and tests that are utilized at the Sherwin-Williams CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, as well as NHL teams, including the Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers. This year all four Western Provinces will test their top U15 athletes as part of their High Performance programs, including additional high performance programs and events. The reality is, as a competitive hockey player, eventually you may be in a situation where you will have to perform the combine testing under pressure, and your performance will affect your chances of making the cut. Here’s an opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with each test and experience the testing in a comfortable setting, with constructive feedback!
After being tested, athletes are given access to an extensive on-line database with WHL tested players. Athletes can compare themselves against other athletes to see where they rank against the best while at the same time using their individual test scores to make adjustments to their own training and skill development programs to help them reach their highest level.
The test results for all athletes are entered into the exclusive WHL Database that is used by WHL General Managers and Head Scouts to track and identify athletes for their teams.
Upon completion of a WHL Combine Testing, each participant receives the following:
Joining Okanagan Hockey Academy was the best decision I made to advance my hockey development. I grew as a person and as a player thanks to our amazing coaches. My education was held to a very high standard by our education advisor and tutors. I also met people who will be lifelong friends."
