PLANO, Texas — Finland just won their first Olympic Hockey Gold Medal at the Beijing 2022 Olympics. While everyone watched them play each game on the ice, what they didn’t see was the behind-the-scenes preparation the team put into breaking down their opponents with STEVA – a live video breakdown and analytics tool powered by Stack Sports.
After the ROC team scored first, the Lions had an uphill battle to face, but after the equalizing goal in the second period the team knew it had the edge. With just 31 seconds off the clock in the 3rd period, the Finns pulled ahead on a deflection from Hannes Bjorninen and the bench erupted. “We controlled the puck. We controlled the game. We kept believing,” defenseman Petteri Lindbohm said. That belief led the team to their first Gold Medal in team history.
In addition to an outstanding play on the ice, what you don’t often see or hear about in the press or on television is how teams like the Finnish Men’s team prepare and make in-game adjustments behind the scenes. In this era of heightened technology, video and analytics apps like STEVA are extremely important to professional teams, elite national teams, and top tier college teams.
“The most successful teams in the Olympics, the ones who compete at the top of their abilities and win medals, are taking advantage of tools like STEVA. In this hyper-competitive sport, video analysis is key to getting a team ready,” said Jukka Jalonen, Head Coach for Finland. “The technology and level of support we get from the team at Stack Sports help us compete at the highest level.”
