Puckmasters is very excited to add new technology to it’s training curriculum this spring. Right off the floor from the hockey hall of fame in Canada comes the most amazing technology to help improve each shooter gain the edge needed to score more goals. Players use real hockey pucks to test their skill against real-life goaltenders. The cool, lightning fast movements, combined with the extraordinary special effects make RealHockey™ a first class simulation.
Hockey Simulators Game Software Features
True Shooter vs. Goaltender Simulation:
The player/user is the shooter in a one-on-one scenario against the goaltender. The shooter shoots on a "live" goaltender. The object of this hockey simulation is to score as many goals on in the session as possible. The more accurate and higher the velocity of the shot, the more likely the player/user is to score.
Real size net and goaltender:
The projected image size of both the hockey simulator goaltender and the goaltender's net are real size. That is, the hockey simulator net measures six feet long by four feet high. As well the hockey simulator goaltender is real size and appears just as he would if they were standing in front of you on a hockey rink. This sets the stage for real shooting practice.
Realistic and varied hockey simulator goaltender reactions:
Using a unique combination of video and animation processes, the hockey simulator goaltender reacts just as real goaltender would with 64 (scalable to 256) unique save movements. Each save movement is unique based on the location and type of shot.
Realistic hockey simulator goaltender behaviors (custom modeling):
We have used unique software algorithms to determine whether the result of a shot should be a save or a goal. The determination is based on the skill level of the hockey simulator goaltender selected, and the player's own skill level (i.e. shot velocity and accuracy). We have also made each hockey simulator goaltender customizable. That is, the user can create or modify each hockey simulator goaltender so that they react differently to different shots. (e.g. one goaltender may have a weaker glove hand then another, another goaltender may be more susceptible to low shots, etc). These are called hockey simulator goaltender personalities.
Target Shooting software:
The RealHockey™ hockey simulator software also comes with random target shooting module. This tests the player/user's ability to hit different targets within the net.
Hockey simulator data reporting and analysis:
During the player/user session, the hockey simulator system's scoreboard displays the following data:
- Number of shots taken
- The velocity of each shot
- The average velocity of all shots
- The number of goals scored or targets hit
- An overall score
After the hockey simulation session, a report summary is displayed that includes:
- A graphic display of all the shots taken , their location, and their result (goal or no goal).
- A summary scoreboard as above for both the "Shooting on the goaltender" session and "Target shooting" session if applicable.
