InStat is used by league and federation 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 will be able to receive detailed game-by-game analytical reports, player shifts and emailed web links all corresponding to data-specific video.
"The OJHL is extremely happy to partner with InStat for our league analytics,” said Marty Savoy Commissioner of the OJHL. “We see increased promotion of our players and opportunities for our league on the immediate horizon. What makes this truly a partnership is InStat's sponsorship of our Top Prospects Game and Top Prospects Award for the next four years.”
The OJHL Top Prospects Game will be played Jan. 15, 2022 in Collingwood, ON. The Top Prospects Award is presented annually upon the conclusion of the OJHL’s regular season.
With InStat, OJHL 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 22 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.
“We could not be prouder than to work with the OJHL and its member organizations for the next four seasons. I want to thank Marty Savoy and Rick Morocco for all their hard work in helping to get this done, and we look forward to working together in the years to come,” said Mark Yates, director of hockey for InStat North America.
