CCHA announces partnership with InStat

The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) has announced a two-year partnership agreement with InStat, a leader in the video analysis and statistical data industry.

“We are thrilled to partner with InStat to offer an important development tool to the CCHA players, coaches and officials,” said CCHA Commissioner Don Lucia. “InStat will improve our league and member institutions through the use of enhanced video technology to improve scouting, team analysis and officiating. All 32 NHL teams will have access to advanced statistics from each team in the CCHA.”

InStat is used by league 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 all corresponding to data-specific video.

"We’re proud to partner with the CCHA for the upcoming season,” said InStat Chief Operating Officer, North America Mark Yates. “This partnership, like many others that we have in NCAA hockey, will allow InStat to help the CCHA teams with player development and their recruiting process. Additionally, we hope to be able to assist further in helping players move onto higher levels. I want to thank Don Lucia for his efforts and leadership during this process, and we look forward to being a valuable partner to the league and its member universities.”

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.
