In-Season Performance Insights with NHL’s Alexi Pianosi

TuesdayMarch 17, 2026 @ 14:00 MT | 13:00 PT | 16:00 ET | 20:00 GMT | 21:00 CET

Join Firstbeat for an exclusive live webinar with Alexi Pianosi, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at the Colorado Avalanche, as he shares how physiological data supports performance across the heavy demands of a full NHL season.

Managing performance during an 82-game season requires more than intuition. In this session, Alexi will provide a practical, in-season look at how he uses Firstbeat’s physiological insights to help sustain high performance, manage load, and prepare athletes for game day.

What You’ll Learn: 

  • How Firstbeat data is used daily during the NHL season to prepare athletes for games 
  • The key metrics Alexi shares with players and coaches, and how those insights influence programming  
  • How in-game data collection informs decision-making and planning
  • How physiological data reports are translated into real performance decisions 
  • A live breakdown of an actual training report, with applied examples 
  • How data supports preparation heading into the playoffs 

If you’re a strength and conditioning coach or performance staff working in professional ice hockey, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the NHL’s leading practitioners in season. 

This webinar is free to attend, and all participants will have the opportunity to ask questions to Alexi in the live Q&A, plus a copy of the recording will be sent to all attendees after the event.
