What We Measure
The Hockey Testing Battery

Every EPP hockey assessment covers these tests using Photon Sports timing gates and high-speed cameras. Full written report within 48 hours.

1
30m sprint with 10m & 20m splits
Hockey attacking and defensive transitions demand explosive acceleration.
2
5-0-5 bilateral agility
Hockey players cut and change direction constantly — asymmetry directly impacts defensive recovery.
3
Force-velocity profile
Hockey players frequently present as velocity-deficient. The FV profile determines the training priority.
4
Repeated sprint assessment
High-intensity sprint bouts throughout a 35-minute half — key for midfielders and forwards.
5
Countermovement jump
Lower-body power for tackling, drag-flick, and aerial challenges.
Why It Matters
The Velocity Gap in Club Hockey

Hockey is one of the sports where we most consistently find a large gap between technical ability and physical capacity. Players who are technically skilled at club level often have significantly undertrained sprint and agility profiles. A 12-week targeted development block following an EPP assessment reliably produces measurable improvements in sprint time and agility scores — improvements that translate directly to match-speed advantages.
