WINNIPEG, MB – The Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) is excited to officially announced a video analysis and statistical data partnership with InStat Hockey for the 2021-2022 season.
InStat is used by league and federation offices, coaches, scouts and management as a data and communication tool assisting in coaching processes, player development, statistical analysis, and video scouting. At the team level, coaches and players can receive detailed game-by-game analytical reports, player shifts, and emailed web links to all corresponding to data-specific video.
“We are extremely excited to add InStat Hockey as an official partner for the upcoming season,” said MJHL Commissioner, Kevin Saurette. “InStat will provide valuable development benefits for players, team staff and on-ice officials while allowing for enhanced exposure opportunities for our athletes.” It will also provide teams with an advanced tool to better analyze player and team performance by way of detailed video and advanced statistics.”
With InStat, coaches will receive team statistics and individual player data for each game, including time on ice, shots, scoring chances, faceoffs, hits, saves, and more advanced stats such as CORSI and xG. The league and its teams will also have the ability to use the video of teams and players from various professional, collegiate, junior and youth programs worldwide, for the purpose of scouting and player development.
“The MJHL is a premier junior hockey league and a leader when it comes to player development and technological enhancements, and we are confident that our services will only support in the growth and development of not just the players, but also the coaches and on-ice officials,” InStat Director of North America, Mark Yates explained.
