SCOUTING

Evaluate the player.
Not just the stat line.

CADIG combines live observation, video evaluation, standardized grading and context to form repeatable player assessments.

PLAYER EVALUATION

What we evaluate.

The framework is built around traits that can translate across roles, teams and levels of competition.

Skating

Acceleration, speed, edges, mobility, balance and functional pace.

Hockey Intelligence

Reads, anticipation, spacing, decision-making and adaptability.

Puck Skills

Handling, passing, receiving, deception, shooting and execution under pressure.

Compete

Engagement, motor, physical willingness, second effort and consistency.

Offensive Impact

Creation, transition, playmaking, finishing and off-puck contribution.

Defensive Impact

Positioning, stick detail, tracking, retrievals and transition defense.

Role & Usage

Special teams, deployment, teammates, opposition and situational responsibility.

Projection

Transferable tools, development priorities, risk and possible next level.

METHODOLOGY

Standardized across viewings.

Scouting notes become more useful when observations are captured consistently and separated from assumptions.

01

Game Context

League, opponent, score state, role and special-team usage.

02

Trait Evidence

Specific observations tied to repeatable behaviors.

03

Grade

Structured assessment across core skill and impact categories.

04

Projection

Translation, development priorities and confidence level.

SCOUTING SERVICES

Independent evaluation.

Services should be offered only where CADIG has the personnel and authorization to perform them. This structure intentionally avoids contract-agent claims.

Live Scouting

In-person game and event evaluation across covered regions.

Video Scouting

Structured remote evaluation using available game film.

Second Opinion

Independent assessment designed to add another evidence-based perspective.
