Kyle Dubas used hockey analytics to go from the Ontario Hockey League to GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In our hockey analytics course you will not only enjoy your mentors, but you will be amazed at the networking with fellow students in the course. Coaches, agents, scouts, former players, and hockey executives have taken this course.
The world of hockey analytics is relatively new, so you are probably wondering what this educational opportunity can do for your sports career. Well, we have your answer. Taking this course will prepare you for sports careers like these:
Since 2013 Mike Oke has been the general manager of the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) after joining the team three years earlier as the manager of player personnel. Mike knows what teams need in regards to scouting and analytics on a day to day basis.
Prior to joining the Petes, Mike worked with the International Scouting Service (ISS) as Chief Scout where he was responsible for day-to-day operations and managing the scouting staffs responsible for developing scouting reports on players eligible for the NHL Draft, as well as the WHL, QMJHL, OHL, and CHL import drafts.
Mike also has a deep background in coaching having been an Assistant Coach in charge of video with Team Pacific at the 2008 World Under 17 Hockey Challenge, the Director of Player Personnel and Assistant Coach with the Oshawa Generals, an Assistant Coach at Wilfrid Laurier University of the Ontario University Athletic Association, and Head Coach/Manager with the Trenton Sting of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League.
Oke has assisted hundreds of SMWW graduates acquiring jobs in professional and collegiate hockey all over the world.
Clair Cornish
Clair has been involved in hockey his entire life - as a player, coach, and scout.
As a player, Clair was a member of the 1990 Memorial Cup Championship team the Oshawa Generals, playing alongside future Hall of Famer Eric Lindros. Other teammates included Rob Pearson, Brent Grieve, Mike Craig, Iain Fraser, Bill Armstrong, Dale Craigwell, and Jarrod Skalde who all went on to play in the National Hockey League.

Hockey Analytics Are More Than a Passing Fad, it’s the Future
Analytics has taken the sports industry by storm and nowhere is there greater upside and career potential than in the world of hockey.
While baseball and football have become the standard-bearers for analytics, due in part to their fantasy sports appeal, hockey teams that have embraced statistical analysis are seeing a direct correlation to team performance, and ultimately, the win column.
SMWW will teach you the skills needed to become a part of hockey’s statistical revolution!
Led by Mike Oke, General Manager of the Peterborough Petes, and a host of guest speakers from across the NHL, our 8-week online Hockey Analytics course will help you advance your career in hockey.
Unlike most online classes, we focus our program on interactive zoom video chats directly with your course mentors, which allows you the opportunity to build personal relationships and rapport with these successful leaders in the world of hockey analytics. After completing our Hockey Analytics course, we will help you redesign your resume to highlight your new skills and include that you have been taught first-hand by Mike Oke.
Now that is powerful!
“Analytics is one of the fastest-growing job types in the market according to our research. Hockey teams are hiring now, this is a new career path with vast potential,” says Dr. Lynn Lashbrook, President of SMWW.
Sports analytics is a field still in its infancy, with new ways of carving up and interpreting data emerging daily. By taking this course you’ll have the chance to be on the leading edge of the hockey analytics trend.
One of the key determinations derived from analytics in hockey is that puck possession relates directly to winning. But how do you determine puck possession?
Advanced statistics like SAT% help determine puck possession and in turn, how to play winning hockey – proven by the fact that 5 of the last 7 Stanley Cup winners have ranked in the top 4 in the NHL in SAT%.
What is SAT%? How do you calculate it? How do you get your team to improve their SAT%? How do you draft players and build a roster that will complement this team philosophy? How do you use the statistical data to positively affect your team?
These are exactly the skills you will learn as part of our 8-week online Hockey Analytics course. In addition to SAT%, you’ll learn other foundational hockey analytic metrics like:
Corsi, Fenwick, PDO, Zone Starts, and other statistical measures
Access to Elite Prospects' "Prospects List"
Sabermetrics in hockey
Roles of Analytics in NHL
What a day in the life of an analyst is really like
Standard and advanced hockey statistics
Arbitration
Data-driven Advanced Scouting and in-game preparation
How to capture & analyze data and video content
Various hockey analytics software options
Statistical solutions used in the NHL
If you are a hockey coach looking to win games, or looking for entry-level positions within hockey leagues, associations, or teams, with third-party vendors and consultants, or you are just a hockey fan who wants to better understand the tools the pros use to evaluate players, this course is for you.
If you are thinking about a career in hockey, SMWW is a cutting-edge program that offers you the training, skills, vital networking, mentoring, and hockey specific training that will assist you in breaking in or advancing your career in professional hockey. They have hundreds of graduates now working at all levels of the game.

This course has been both an awakening and an inspiration for me. Since I am a European, I never knew the way they played this game overseas. I was amazed at the amount of information about hockey that I hadn't known about. This course was one of my best experiences so far in the hockey world. I hope I can continue my journey after completing this course. This course introduced me to some new things and helped me to put the puzzle together, so to speak, on a number of issues. I gained a different outlook on the game and learned to train my eye much sharper than I ever did before. The weekly chats were invaluable. The Rink Net program was also enlightening. I was not aware there was a program that enabled you to follow every single player in the league. For the last eight weeks, I felt like a sponge who was soaking up every bit of information I could.

Thanks to SMWW I have recently been named the scout for two provinces for a Jr. "A" Hockey Club!!! This course has helped me to broaden my horizons in a sport that I am so passionate about. Following the last two weeks of the course, I was promoted from a territory scout to the New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island scout, thereby taking on the added challenge of scouting in two separate provinces for a Junior "A" Hockey team. I owe many thanks to SMWW.

In my eight weeks of taking the management and player scouting course it helped me to take what I knew from playing the game of hockey my whole life, and applying the skills I learned throughout the course and putting them into a package to help me enhance my trade into the scouting world of hockey. I like from week one how we started on the history of hockey and how the times have changed on to week eight where we able to apply what we learned right into the offices of pro-hockey teams. I recommend this course to anyone as it makes me feel more professional and I feel more confident in walking into any office and applying for a hockey scouting job. My favorite part was working with Rinknet and doing actual scouting reports. Thanks Sports Management Worldwide.
