This report is designed to help you understand where your child is in their development, and where they’re heading next. It includes scores based on multiple assessments during evaluations, reflecting how consistently and confidently your child performed across a range of hockey skills.

But scores are just part of the story. Our goal is not to rank or judge - it’s to give you a clear, supportive view of how your child is growing as a player. Below, you’ll find everything you need to understand what the numbers mean and how they’re used throughout this report.

Scores are presented in one of two ways:

The overall score isn’t a sum or average of the other numbers. Different skills contribute with different weights, and we also account for consistency across ice times. So adding up the parts won’t match the overall—this is by design.

Score ranges help protect the integrity of the evaluation process. Individual scores provide helpful specificity where appropriate.

Scores from 1 to 20: Challenging

Your child is currently finding this skill difficult. Movements may be uncertain or incomplete. This is the learning foundation.

Scores from 21 to 40: Emerging

Your child understands the basics but is still learning how to perform the skill smoothly.

Scores from 41-60: Solidifying

Your child performs the skill with growing consistency. Some parts may need polish, but overall execution is improving.

Scores from 61 to 80: Elevating

Your child performs the skill with smooth, confident execution.

Scores from 81-100: Outstanding

Elite-level skill with high control and game impact. Smooth, fast, and reliable under pressure.

Every player’s development journey is unique. Some players grow quickly in one area and slowly in another - and that’s completely normal. This report is here to help you celebrate your child’s strengths and see where focused support could help most.

Whether your child is just learning a skill or already mastering it, the most important thing is that they’re moving forward - one step, one practice, and one evaluation at a time.

Dean’s top strengths are Passing, Possession, and Decision Making. Depicted in the graphic below, all assessed Skill Groups are presented and are ordered from Dean’s top Skill Groups on the left to their biggest growth opportunities towards the right.

To answer this question, we’ll be looking at how Dean’s skills compared to others in the same age group within your association. The graph below shows each skill score alongside the average score from Dean’s age group and association.

This provides a Peer Comparison—a view of where Dean’s skill levels are currently tracking in relation to the broader group.

It's natural for some skills to stand out while others are still developing. The visual shows where Dean is closest to or furthest from the peer average, and the highlighted skills below offer insight into personal strengths and development opportunities based on this comparison.

To make this easier to understand, the skills are sorted based on how Dean compares to others in the same age group. Skills where Dean is performing better relative to peers appear first, while skills with the biggest gaps compared to the group come later.

Dean shows real confidence in Offensive Tactics and Possession, relative to their peer group. These skills are executed smoothly and reliably and contribute positively to game situations. Minor refinements could push these even further.

While Defensive Tactics and Agility are already contributing positively to Dean’s performance, these skills still offer room for polish. With extra focus, they could become signature strengths.

Every player develops differently. Some build skills consistently across all areas, while others show standout strengths in specific parts of the game. Neither path is better, but understanding a player’s current balance helps coaches and parents support growth more effectively.

To explore how well-rounded a player is we measure how much Dean’s scores vary across all skills. We also adjust for the fact that some skills are naturally harder to score well in. This gives us a fair picture of how balanced or specialized Dean’s skill set is and which areas are contributing most to that profile.

Every player is a unique blend of hockey archetypes. Rather than being “just a shooter” or “just a defender,” most players draw on multiple archetypes. This page shows how Dean’s skills combine across archetypes – giving a fuller picture of their hockey identity.

Dean`s profile shows strong Two-Way Forward tendencies, with secondary Playmaker qualities.

Passing and Decision Making are standout skills for Dean compared to the Max View. They’re performed at a high level with control, speed, and consistency.

While Defensive Tactics and Agility already contribute positively, these still offer room for polish.
