Ice Time: Analytics Across Hockey's Levels

Hockey is undergoing a data revolution, with analytics now shaping how the game is played, evaluated, and presented at all levels of the sport. From player development pipelines to national teams to the professional ranks, data is influencing everything from training and scouting to in-game tactics and broadcast storytelling. At every level, analytics are transforming the hockey ecosystem, enabling players and coaches to unlock individual potential, craft effective lineups, and drive the sport forward. The panel brings together three voices from across the hockey landscape: John Wroblewski (Head Coach, U.S. Women's National Team), Meghan Chayka (Co-Founder and CEO, Stathletes), and Angela Ruggiero (Co-Founder, Sports Innovation Lab; Olympic Gold Medalist). The discussion will examine how performance data, tracking technology, and modeling are used to improve player development, guide roster and strategy decisions, and create competitive advantages on the ice. Together, these perspectives offer a forward-looking view of how hockey is evolving into one of the most data-driven sports in the world.
