EpitomePD is an advanced, data-driven athletic assessment platform that analyzes objective genetic and developmental data to identify physical and mindset predispositions — used to build highly-personalized training routines that help ice hockey players optimize long-term performance and elite potential.
Two personalized, human-reviewed reports — one for the mind, one for the genome — fused into a single player dossier with a profile archetype and three tailored actions to work on each month. For players 14 and up, their parents, and the coaches, teams and academies who develop them.
Skating and skill get coached every day. Your mind and your genome are the half of the game nobody measures — until now. EpitomePD measures both and hands back a plan, not just a score.
A 90-item, hockey-calibrated assessment of mental performance, mindset, and psychological resilience. About 35 minutes to complete. Delivers an instant personalized PDF report and dashboard profile covering hockey attitude, anxiety, depression, psychological performance, and overall mindset — paired with your assigned profile archetype and three tailored actions to try this month.
A discreet cheek-swab kit shipped to your address with a prepaid return envelope. Your sample is lab-processed and human-reviewed across 22 curated genetic markers calibrated for hockey performance — explosive stride, shift recovery, endurance, durability, strength, and contact-injury risk among them. The report lands in your dashboard 14–21 days after the lab receives your sample.
Buy online in Canadian dollars, one time, with no subscription. The discreet kit ships within 24 hours — insured, tracked, lab-sealed.
A painless cheek swab, plus the hockey-specific psychometric protocol completed on your own time in about 35 minutes.
The mindset report arrives in your dashboard immediately; the genetic report 14–21 days after the lab receives your sample. Every genetic report is human-reviewed before publication.
Three tailored monthly actions — on your own, with your coach, or with a specialist — and personalized calibration programs guided by qualified professionals.
Each dimension is scored, banded, and explained in plain language, then rolled up into a profile archetype — for example The Composed Competitor: steady under pressure, sharper when it matters — with three concrete actions for the month. The sample values below are from the public sample report.
A reliable, pressure-tested profile with clear room to push higher.
Coachable, team-first, and consistent in your habits.
Good baseline resilience; sharpen recovery after mistakes.
In the high-performance window — enough edge to stay engaged.
Healthy mood baseline with little downside risk.
Twenty-two curated markers, each tied to a hockey trait — stride and power, shift recovery, endurance, durability, strength, and contact-injury risk. Every result is written up in plain language and reviewed by a person before it reaches your dashboard.

Parents are typically the purchasers. Two reports per player — mindset and genetic — each with concrete development actions, owned by the player and the family.
Quantify composure, focus, resilience, and decision-making under pressure — the traits that decide who stays at the top.
Pinpoint the specific mental and genetic factors limiting your game, each paired with a clear, doable next step.
Your profile archetype comes with tailored actions to work on this month — on your own, with your coach, or with a specialist.
Stop guessing what separates you from the players above you. Train the invisible half of the game with a measurable blueprint.
Hockey players who treat the sport as a discipline rather than a hope — from junior and college athletes through the pro and national-program tiers. Built for players 14 and up. Athletes under 18 participate with parental consent: through their own account, where results unlock once a parent or guardian consents by email, or through an account created and managed by a parent or legal guardian.
Personal, assessment, and genetic data are never sold. Individual results are not disclosed to any insurer, employer, or athletic organisation — including the player’s own team — without specific written consent. Reports are visible only through your own account, and players and families can always choose to share a report with a coach.
Empower your program with player intelligence that conventional evaluations do not capture. EpitomePD gives coaching staff access to behavioural and genetic insight through a sophisticated clinical and analytical framework — at no acquisition cost to the club.
For forward-thinking programs across junior, academy, and collegiate levels, EpitomePD introduces a more objective, scientifically informed approach to player development. By establishing a baseline of biological and psychological information, the EpitomePD dossier can help staff individualize development, strengthen the evidence behind their decisions, and elevate the program’s reputation — supporting better player outcomes while positioning the organization as a premier destination for elite talent.
Don’t take our word for it. Learn what the dossier examines, how the findings are interpreted, and how this additional layer of insight can support player development. Choose two players to receive complimentary assessments, evaluate the dossiers through the lens of your own coaching experience, and decide for yourself whether the insight is valuable enough to introduce to the full roster — at no cost to your team.
When an EpitomePD performance dossier — which integrates 22 genetic markers with a 90-item behavioral assessment — is funded directly by a player’s parents, it establishes a powerful development ecosystem.
“Epitome provides objective, data-driven insights that empower players to own their growth while positioning coaches as supportive partners in tailored development planning. By highlighting specific mental and physical needs, it serves as a high-value tool for optimizing team performance and informing strategic scouting decisions.”
TJ ManasterskyHead Coach, Brock University Badgers · 2025
“By combining a player’s development data and genetic data, the predisposition report significantly enhances talent assessment and provides unique insights supporting personalized skill development. There is lots of value here.”
Willie DesjardinsHead Coach & GM, Medicine Hat Tigers · 2025
“The report’s genetic data offered new insights into player potential and limitations, allowing for the creation of individualized training plans. By evaluating mindset scores, the team identified the need to develop mental skills in certain players to improve their long-term performance. The hockey attitude score was crucial for understanding how young athletes manage adversity both on and off the ice.”
Mike JohnstonPresident & GM, Portland Winterhawks · 2025
