(Niagara Falls, Ontario) The Professional Hockey Players Association (PHPA) and InStat Hockey have agreed to a multi-year video and data partnership. Through the agreement, InStat will provide the opportunity for current and former PHPA Members to access the InStat Hockey platform.

InStat is used by league and federation offices, coaches, scouts and management as a data and communication tool for coaching, player development, statistical analysis and scouting purposes. At the team level, coaches and players can receive detailed game-by-game analytical reports, statistical breakdowns, and emailed web links all corresponding to data-specific video.

“We are excited to partner with InStat and deliver to our Members a leading video and analytical tool to aid in their development and pursuit towards the next level of the sport,” said Darryl Dionne, PHPA Director of Communications and Business Development.

“InStat is happy to come to this agreement with the PHPA, and we see this as a tremendous opportunity to introduce InStat to the players and alumni so they can utilize our services for their own development as players or even as a coaching or scouting tool in their post-playing career,” said Mark Yates, InStat’s Director of North America.
