NEXT Testing

Take your game and dissect it.  Lay it out piece by piece and pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses.  The Next Skating Combine does just that with 70 individual measurements extracted from 14 on-ice tests that break your game down into its essential components: skating, puck handling, and reaction time.

Each drill is measured by the cold objective eyes of precise laser gate sensors and an automated timing system.  Your data is collected in its purest form so that you, your coach and all those scouts out there can make true objective analysis of the results.

A word of warning – there’s no place to hide with the skating combine*:
Tested Skill Elements:
• Reaction time
• Quickness – Forwards and Backwards
• Speed – Forwards and Backwards
• Transition Speed – Forwards and Backwards
• Agility
• Puck Handling

*Best of all, each test includes a cognitive component to measure the reaction time – when you skate to the line your start cue is randomly generated so it’s impossible to anticipate or lead off your start. It’s the ultimate test of your raw nerve.
