This season, our team will be using the HELIOS Core sensor to track and improve our performance. The sensor measures skating speed, acceleration, stride rate, and workload, giving us accurate, objective data from every practice and game. We’ll use it to monitor in-game performance and link the data to our team video, so players can review their own shifts alongside the stats. This will help us identify strengths, target areas for improvement, and measure progress throughout the season—helping every player reach their peak performance.
After every game and practice, the coaching staff will collect all sensors for charging and secure storage. This ensures every Core is fully charged, properly maintained, and ready for the next session. Players should remove their sensor from their pads promptly after coming off the ice and return it to the designated collection point.
Configuring Your Helios Sensor
1. Charge Your Sensor
- Plug the wireless charging pad into a power source.
- Place the sensor (logo facing up) on the pad.
- Pulsing orange = charging
- Solid orange = fully charged
- Charging takes about 2–3 hours.
2. Mount the Sensor on Your Shoulder Pads
- Mount the sensor on the centre front or back of your shoulder pads.
Twist Mount Option:
- This is the preferred option if you have a flat area on your shoulder pads (front or back). Stick the adhesive mount to the flat area of your pads, then twist the sensor in/out.
- It often helps to use two of the adhesive stickers.

Strap Mount Option:
- Use the Velcro strap to secure the sensor tightly to your pads. Extra smaller straps are available from your coach.
