Title:

Advanced Hockey Shot Analysis Using Smart Puck Technology for Precision and Speed Measurement

There is currently no system available that analyses the full quality of hockey shots. Existing systems focus on individual metrics, but do not combine factors for a holistic evaluation. The goal of this project was to develop a system that analyses hockey shots comprehensively and provides real-time feedback, allowing players to gain actionable insights as they train. An inertial measurement unit was embedded inside the puck to determine velocity, release time, stability, and spin rate, while infrared break-beam sensors measured shot accuracy. The implemented system provides individual scores for each metric as well as a total weighted score combining all metrics into an overall shot quality score. The system successfully achieved real-time measurement of five metrics and delivered actionable insights for players to improve their shot quality. Future work will refine the weighting of individual metrics, but important steps were achieved with this project.
