Upcoming Webinar

Managing Individual Responses in Elite Ice Hockey

Thursday August 27th, 2026 @ at 13:00 CEST, 14:00 EEST, 12:00 BST

Join Joel Wenning (Firstbeat) and Marko Haverinen, Head of Performance at Tappara, Finland’s most successful ice hockey club and current Liiga champions, for a free webinar exploring how physiological data is used to monitor player responses and support performance throughout the season.

Drawing on years of experience using Firstbeat across Tappara’s men’s and youth teams, Marko will share the practical approaches his staff use to translate physiological data into everyday coaching decisions.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

How physiological data is integrated into Tappara’s daily training process
Why players can have very different physiological responses to the same external workload
How to assess aerobic endurance during congested fixture schedules using submaximal testing
How training load and recovery are managed across a typical training week
How objective data supports better day-to-day coaching decisions

Whether you’re working in professional or collegiate ice hockey, this session will provide practical insights you can apply within your own team.
