How is SportQuest's evaluation system unique from other testing programs? SportQuest's proprietary evaluation system measures skills free of human bias and error. It compares your results to a database of over 30,000 internationally evaluated players. SportQuest's system provides a computerized analysis of player data and instantly records the results on its database on the Internet. In short, the SportQuest system is the only hockey skills evaluation system that is: unbiased, accurate, reliable, repeatable, and valid that features the largest, interactive online database in the world! 
In actual evaluations of over 100, similar players, the difference between the highest and lowest times was less than 1/2 of a second. This requires a measurement that exceeds the accuracy of what a human with a stopwatch is capable of consistently making. Especially in ice hockey, one- tenth of a second can make a huge difference. This is why calibrated, precision timing gear that incorporates two laser beams that can not be triggered by a stick is critical for accurate results. 
SportQuest's proprietary timing gear features a precise, dual laser beam system that can only be triggered by the player's body and not the hockey stick. Less advanced systems use timing gear that can be triggered by a pencil. Such systems do not provide accurate results because a player's stick can stop the timers. This means that players can cheat by reaching out at the finish line resulting in misleading scores. 
The SportQuest system is time proven. It has evaluated athletes of all levels in North America, Europe and Asia for over ten years. Each evaluation has been conducted by a specially trained staff and carried out with standardized precision equipment and strict protocols. These factors established a practice of consistent evaluation that over time has led to an international standard of performance.          Click picture to enlarge
