Qlik has announced that Swedish professional ice hockey team, Malmö Redhawks, is using Qlik Cloud to analyse each player’s daily training results and well-being to improve overall team performance results.
Malmö Redhawks is using Qlik in a cloud-based platform, called Hat-TriQ, developed by sports analytics company, Stretch On Sense. The platform was developed to provide the team with detailed analyses of each player’s performance and well-being in a single platform, enabling coaching staff to make informed decisions and to better facilitate reaching team goals.
“Using data gives you a backbone to make the right decisions. Effectively, you are giving yourself the best chance of winning,” said Andreas Hadelöv, Sports Analyst at Malmö Redhawks. “With Hat-TriQ, based on Qlik, we have an analytical tool where we can get maximum value from our data because the whole organisation communicates and speaks the same language, which makes it a real game-changer for us.”
Malmö Redhawks has been working with Stretch On Sense for two years. The team is a pioneer and the first professional sports team to use the Hat-TriQ platform. Hat-TriQ is based on advanced sports analytics that starts with how teams train, play and feel.
Data is collected from sensors connected to players, with cameras capturing each individual during a game; measuring when they take a shot and what the result is, for example. Additionally, player mental health measures are blended into the results, providing team managers with a comprehensive overview of the team.
