The new standard for professional player development. 11 biomechanical metrics. Zero hardware. Total player accountability.
Every elite coach has strong instincts. But instincts alone don’t retain players, satisfy parents, or justify premium rates. HLH gives your intuition an objective foundation.
When a parent questions why their child isn’t moving up, you don’t argue. You open the dashboard and show them the knee bend at 148° vs the elite threshold of 90°. The data does the talking.
That’s what separates good coaches from programs players stay in for five years.
Most skating analysis tools break the moment your camera moves. HLH was built for real practice conditions where you are on the ice, other players are cutting through the frame, and you are following your player with a handheld phone.
Our 3D engine isolates the target player from the chaos, reconstructs their full skeletal movement in world space, and delivers accurate biomechanical data regardless of how the shot was captured.
Parents who see objective biomechanical data do not question your rates, they justify them to other parents. When a family watches their player improve from 148° to 98° knee bend over 12 weeks, they do not leave your program. They refer friends.
HLH works on two tracks simultaneously. Coaches use it at practice. Players use it between sessions. Both tracks feed each other, players improve faster, coaches get the credit.

A 78 isn’t just a number, it shows exactly how far this player is from Tier 1 Elite and which metrics to target first.
Select up to 30 videos, tag each one to a player, hit Analyze. Results appear live in your team wall as they complete.
Every analysis stored and tracked automatically. Show parents exactly how their player’s knee bend went from 148° to 98° over 12 weeks.
You assign the drills. HLH tracks whether players are actually doing them between sessions. When their Symmetry Gap doesn’t improve, you know exactly why before they step on the ice.
Add a player with a parent email and they get an automatic invite. Score, key metrics, clear context, without you sending anything manually.

No tripod. No empty ice. No perfect angle required.
HLH is built specifically for youth hockey. Every video, every metric, every player profile is protected by design.
These are the research-validated biomechanical numbers at each level of hockey. HLH measures every one of these metrics on every upload — giving you the objective foundation to back your coaching decisions.

HLH was built by Henrik Loehman, a USA Hockey certified power skating coach with over 10 years developing youth hockey players at F.E. Hockey and across Northern Virginia.
The 11-metric framework is built on the same biomechanical principles used at the elite level, knee bend, triple extension, symmetry gap, and stride efficiency. These are not marketing terms. They are the specific mechanics that peer-reviewed research from the University of Calgary and York University identifies as the primary differentiators between recreational and elite skaters.
"I built this because I watched families spend thousands of dollars on development and still guess at what needed to change. Now they don't have to guess."
For associations, academies, and multi-team programs — HLH creates a unified development framework across your entire organization.
