Hey r/hockeyplayers,

Quick context: I’m a hockey dad. My son plays U12 and wanted real feedback on his stride between practices. Pro coaching tools (Sportlogiq, Onform) are either NHL-tier or expensive. So I built a free version.

How it works: open the link in your phone browser, pick a skill, upload a clip. AI analyzes the actual mechanics frame by frame and gives you a score, what’s working, what to fix, and a 4-week drill plan you can check off as you go.

What it currently handles:
• Wrist / Snap / Slap / Backhand (works on or off-ice shooting pad in your garage is fine)
• Stride / Crossovers / Tight Turns / Hockey Stops / Backwards Skating (ice or rollerblades)
• Stickhandling

Currently testing to work with livebarn footage detection(WIP) but just pushed an update and need it tested

No signup needed to try it. No app to install. Free. I’m just looking for real feedback does the breakdown feel useful or generic, what’s missing, what would make you actually use it again. Honest critique welcome, including “this is bad.”

Built an AI hockey coach over the past couple weeks and I’m at the point where I need real feedback before I sink more time into it. You upload a clip of yourself doing a skill — wrist shot, snap, slap, stride, crossovers, hockey stops, stickhandling, etc. — and Claude analyzes the actual mechanics in your video and gives you specific things to fix plus a 4-week drill plan that you can check off as you go. Works on or off ice (shooting pad in your garage is fine), works with rollerblades for skating drills. Free, no signup needed, no app to install — just opens in your browser. Looking for 5-10 people who’d be willing to upload a clip and tell me whether the feedback is useful or generic garbage!
