test where you play

You don’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been. Baseline testing is a great ​way to measure yourself against others. Every athlete has goals – to be the best on their team, to ​play for a division 1 college, to play professionally, or even just go from second line to first line.


analyze the data

Take Home A Complete On-Ice Player Profile. Collected data offers outstanding insights into an ​athlete's current form. Identify areas of strength and needs for improvement.


improve

Accomplish your goals and develop your career. Put a strategic measurable plan in place for on-ice ​and off-ice training.


Off-Ice Training - use your data to make sure what you are doing during off-ice training is ​translating into on-ice performance.


On-Ice Training - keep coaches accountable for your development in areas that need to be ​continually strengthened and lower the gap of areas to be improved.


dominate and re-test

Comparing measurable data is a wake-up call for athletes and gives trackable goals to hit so ​dreams can be achieved. Realistically if you want to be a collegiate or professional hockey player, ​you have to be on par with or better than current collegiate or professional hockey players


Measure your development. Test throughout the year - beginning, middle, and end of the season - to ​see where you stand.


FAQ Why choose to participate
part 2 university exposure showcase

the Fierce ID Series is structured to benefit both players and ​ncaa/usports scouts.


Increased Interaction

Limiting the number of teams in each division is a strategic ​move. With fewer teams, players have more opportunities to ​interact with coaches and get noticed. Coaches can spend more ​time observing and interacting with potential recruits.


In addition to on-ice evaluation in games, practices, and goalie ​sessions, coaches can also look for qualities like teamwork, ​leadership, and coachability. This is an opportunity to ​showcase your character.


Competitive Environment

With fewer teams, our objective is higher-quality games, ​practices, and goalie sessions.


Visibility

all games and practices will be held at Canlan Oshawa. This ​means that players can be seen more easily by coaches. This ​concentrated environment enhances visibility and makes it ​convenient for ncaa/usport coaches/scouts to evaluate ​players. Coaches and scouts will maximize their time scouting ​by eliminating their travel times between multiple arenas.

My name is Malachi Dells, a Defensive Back from ​Toronto. Attending the Fierce Athletics showcase ​last spring was a game-changer for me. I was ​new to football and unsure about my abilities, but ​the showcase boosted my confidence and ​provided valuable insights into the game. ​Competing against other athletes and learning ​from OUA coaches showed me what it takes to ​succeed at the next level. The experience was a ​catalyst for my growth, and I'm forever grateful ​for how it motivated me to become a better ​athlete
