Every Hockey Parent Knows This Feeling

Your player works harder than anyone at practice. They want it. They put in the time. But somehow other kids are just faster and nobody can tell you why.

The coach says work on your skating. Private lessons give you feedback you forget by the next practice. You invest in development and you are still guessing.

The difference between a good skater and an elite one is not effort. It is mechanics. Things that happen in a fraction of a second that no human eye can catch.

REAL FAMILIES. REAL PROGRESS.

A first look from an HLH family — and the skaters Henrik has coached along the way.

4 STEPS TO ELITE SKATING

No expensive camps, no waiting lists. Upload from anywhere and get results in minutes.

01
FILM YOUR PLAYER
Film from the side, from a spot with no glass. Your player stands still and upright for a second, then explodes into their first 3 hard strides plus 4 to 6 more, 6 to 10 in total, at full game speed, staying in frame the whole way. It can be anywhere on the ice. That standing start is what unlocks the First 3 Strides metrics. iPhone (Android coming soon). See the filming guide →
02
AI ANALYZES EVERYTHING
Our AI measures 15 biomechanical metrics frame by frame, including explosive power, power leaks, and triple extension synchronicity that no other app tracks.
03
GET YOUR GAME PLAN
Receive your HLH Skating Score, a full AI coaching report, personalized drills, and a shareable PDF report card.
04
TRACK REAL PROGRESS
Upload a new video every week and watch every metric climb. Compare sessions side by side and show your coach exactly how much your player has improved.

Every Day Development

TWO DAYS. ONE SYSTEM.

Your player has 2 practices a week. HLH gives them a development system for every other day.

PRACTICE DAYS
Your Coach Uses HLH
Your coach films the team, uploads the videos, and uses the data to run targeted drills. The whole team works on what the data says, not what the coach guesses.
✓ Objective data on every player
✓ 10-minute targeted drill segment
✓ Parents notified of results automatically
EVERY OTHER DAY
Your Player Uses HLH
Between practices your player uploads their video, sees what changed, gets their personalized drill plan, and does the work. They arrive at the next practice already improved.
✓ Upload from any rink, any time
✓ Personalized drills targeting weakest metrics
✓ Score tracked week over week all season
Your coach diagnoses the problem. HLH fixes it between sessions.
Your player has 2 practices a week. That's about 2 hours of coached development. HLH covers the other 166 hours.

Every Other Day

The Off-Ice Half of Player Development.

Skating is a movement pattern, and movement patterns are built off the ice as much as on it. Every HLH report includes a personalized off-ice plan tied directly to your player's biomechanical weaknesses. As the metrics improve, the prescriptions progress, from foundational mobility work to advanced unilateral strength, depending on what the data shows your player needs next.

SYMMETRY WEAKNESS
Single Leg RDL to Reach
3 sets of 8 each leg
The gold standard for revealing left/right asymmetry. Most stride imbalance traces back to weaker posterior chain on one side. This drill exposes the gap and trains both sides equally.
STRIDE RATE WEAKNESS
Bulgarian Split Squats
3 sets of 8 each leg
Builds the unilateral leg strength that elite skaters use to push off harder, not just faster. Fast-twitch power without the hip mobility limit that single-leg work fixes.
FORWARD LEAN / KNEE BEND
Box Step Downs
3 sets of 10 each leg, controlled tempo
Eccentric loading at the bottom of the skating position. Trains the quad and hip control that lets a player hold deep knee bend without losing power.
EXPLOSIVE POWER WEAKNESS
Lateral Bounds
3 sets of 10 each direction
Trains the ground reaction force needed for the first stride. Players with weak first steps almost always lack lateral explosive output, not raw leg strength.
Every prescription comes from the same biomechanics framework used with elite-level players. The drills get harder as your player gets better. Three examples shown here. The full prescription updates with every analysis as your player progresses.

SIX WEEKS. REAL GAINS.

One real HLH skater, a 12U Lower A travel forward, measured six weeks apart. Same metrics, same platform your player would use.

Full Metric Suite

15 ELITE METRICS. ONE REPORT.

Informed by peer-reviewed hockey biomechanics research from the University of Calgary and McGill University

Most skating apps give you 3-4 basic angles. HLH measures 15, including 9 advanced biomechanical metrics that no other consumer app offers.

STANDARD BIOMECHANICS
KNEE BEND
Deep knee bend means more power. Elite forwards hit 87 to 95 degrees, most youth players are at 110 to 125 degrees.
FORWARD LEAN
More lean drives acceleration. Elite skaters lean 40 to 50 degrees from vertical. More lean shifts the center of gravity forward and forces the legs to generate maximum power on every push.
HIP EXTENSION
Full hip extension means maximum power per stride. Elite target is 135°+.
L/R SYMMETRY
Equal left and right mechanics means efficient straight-line speed. Under 8° gap is elite. A large symmetry gap also means one leg absorbs more force on every stride, the same imbalance that leads to groin strains and hip injuries over time.
ANKLE SNAP
The toe flick that finishes each stride, scored on how often it fires. Elite skaters snap on 80%+ of strides.
STRIDES PER SECOND
Elite forwards hit 1.7-1.8 strides/sec. More strides with full extension means maximum top speed.

ADVANCED BIOMECHANICAL INTELLIGENCE · EXCLUSIVE TO HLH
Elite Performance Metric
EXPLOSIVE POWER
Angular velocity in degrees per second, measuring how fast each stride fires. Because it depends on how hard a player pushes, we track it as a personal trend, the goal is watching it climb over time, not hitting a fixed number.
Speed Killer Detector
POWER LEAKS
Counts every stride where energy escapes instead of driving forward. Elite: under 3 per session.
Coordination Science
TRIPLE EXTENSION SYNC
Hip, knee, and ankle coordination score. Higher means cleaner sequencing through the leg, elite skaters clear 50%.
Temporal Analysis
STRIDE PHASE BREAKDOWN
Loading vs Extension vs Recovery split. Elite skaters spend 55% in the power zone. We measure exactly where your player is.
Side-View Stride Quality · New
Turnover Science
STRIDE RECOVERY
How tightly the leg folds back under the body after each push. A quick, low recovery means the next stride starts sooner. Elite skaters fold to 52 degrees or tighter.
Efficiency Detector
VERTICAL BOUNCE
How level the body stays through the stride. A flat, gliding stride sends energy forward instead of up. The fastest skaters barely bounce at all.
Consistency Signal
STRIDE RHYTHM
How even the timing is from stride to stride. A steady, repeating beat means the mechanics are holding up at game speed instead of breaking down.
Balance Science
GLIDE BALANCE
How steadily the body stays stacked over the driving blade through each glide. Quiet balance holds speed and sets up a stronger next push.
Final Drive
BLADE ATTACK
How the blade drives through the ice at the very end of the push, the last link in the stride that adds the final bit of power.

The one to fix first: forward lean.
At 39 degrees this skater is a touch too upright. Elite forwards sit at 40 to 55 degrees, where the whole leg can load and drive. A few degrees more lean is the fastest speed available right now.

Coach Henrik Loehman, founder of HLH Skate Analysis
The Coach Behind HLH

Built by a coach,
for real players.

"I built HLH because I watched too many players who work harder than anyone still hit a wall. It was never about effort. It was the small mechanics that no one could see. Now every parent gets the same frame by frame breakdown I use on the ice, and the exact drills to fix what it finds."
