What is the HUSTLE SCORE?Updated 9 hours ago

What is Measured:

• LOW, AVG, HIGHintensity rating for each session calculated from the player's individual baseline incorporating:
  • Effort level - how hard a player skates
  • Work rate - how consistently they push
  • Intensity over time - not just peak performance

Why it Matters:

The Hustle Score measures how hard and how consistently your player is working on the ice, not just in bursts, but over the whole session. It blends effort, work rate, and sustained intensity to give a clearer picture of how much they put in.

How to Use:

• Session vs perception - Hustle Score helps you check whether the player's feeling “they worked hard” matches the objective data. After a session, ask: “Do you feel like your hustle matched your Hustle Score today? What could you push more on next time?”
• Practice vs game effort - If Hustle Scores are HIGH in practices, it suggests the player brings the same energy to training that they do in competition.
• Consistency and improvement over time - Look for upward trends that show improving Hustle Scores across multiple sessions and praise sessions where their hustle is higher than usual.
• Drops or plateaus - If Hustle Scores drop or are lower than what’s normal for the player, it might mean fatigue, lack of focus, or recovery needs attention. Consider recovery strategies (stretching, light skate, extra rest) rather than pushing through.
• Track “effort resilience” - Over a season, if the player can maintain or increase Hustle Scores (without burning out), that’s a sign of growing fitness, mindset, and consistency.
