October 28, 2024 – Drive Hockey Analytics Inc., a leader in sports technology and hockey analytics, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Jason Bukala, one of the most respected voices in hockey scouting and development. With decades of experience, including as the former Director of Amateur Scouting with the Florida Panthers of the NHL, and his work with The Pro Hockey Group, Sportsnet, and NHL Network, Bukala brings unparalleled expertise to help elevate the way we analyze and develop hockey talent.
This partnership will combine Bukala’s deep insights into player evaluation and development with Drive’s cutting-edge tracking and portable smart-arena technology. Together, we aim to bring powerful analytics to players, teams, and scouts at all levels of the game—from grassroots to the professional ranks.
“We are excited to collaborate with Jason Bukala as we continue our mission of making pro-level analytics technology affordable and accessible to all levels of hockey,” said Adam Nathwani, COO of Drive Hockey Analytics. “His vast knowledge and trusted reputation in the hockey community will be invaluable as we work to reshape how talent is scouted and developed.”
As part of this partnership, Jason Bukala will serve as an advisor and ambassador for Drive Hockey Analytics, contributing to key initiatives and helping to refine and promote the use of Drive’s groundbreaking technology. “I’m excited to partner with Drive Hockey Analytics,” said Jason Bukala. “Reliable data assists athletes and organizations to identify areas of opportunity to maximize player development and team success, and Drive is leading the way. Together, we’re empowering athletes with pro-level technology that can make a real difference in their development and performance. The NHL has introduced player and puck tracking technology, opening up all kinds of new possibilities for their clubs and Drive intends to do the same for all levels of hockey below the NHL.”
This partnership reflects Drive’s ongoing commitment to delivering pro-level tools to athletes of all ages, while making data more accessible for scouts, coaches, and media.
