At Frölunda HC’s training facility, Frölunda Borg, over 150 players move through the same environment every day – men, women, and academy players alike. Coordinating training, performance, health, and communication across such a large organization requires clarity, structure, and trust in a system that holds it all together.

For Frölunda HC, that system is XPS. Take a look at the latest XPS Stories episode from Gothenburg, Sweden.

As one of Europe’s most successful hockey clubs – with four Champions League titles and the highest number of NHL draft picks outside North America – Frölunda HC has long focused on long-term player development. But as the organization grew, so did the complexity of managing information across departments

From fragmented tools to one shared platform

Before implementing XPS, much of the daily workflow relied on separate tools. Training plans lived in documents, exercise videos were shared via YouTube links, and important information often passed verbally between staff. That made alignment difficult. “Information was getting lost in translation between the medical team and the coaching staff. With XPS, this is no longer a problem,” says Erik Jansson.

Today, XPS acts as a central hub for operations. Coaches start their day by checking the calendar, reviewing session plans, and aligning with colleagues – all in one place. Double bookings are avoided, facilities are used efficiently, and everyone works from the same plan.

Clear plans, better execution for players

For the players, the change is just as noticeable. Every session, workout, or individual program is available to the players directly in the mobile app.

‍Weekly performance tests, such as jump tests, are automatically tracked over time. That gives players immediate feedback on their development and creates transparency between athletes and staff.

Connecting performance and medical teams in real time

One of the biggest gains for Frölunda HC has been the integration between performance and medical departments. Rehab plans, injury status, and return-to-play timelines are all handled inside XPS Health.

Every morning, Rasmus Bergström, Rehab Coordinator, updates players’ rehab plans so they know exactly what to do when they arrive.

With the introduction of the new XPS Health iPad app, injury updates can even be registered during games – instantly notifying all relevant staff. “That kind of communication used to take hours or days,” Rasmus explains. “Now it takes seconds.”

Data-informed decisions, not data-driven guesswork

For Frölunda HC, data is not about replacing experience – it’s about supporting better decisions. Test results are structured into endurance, power, speed, and strength categories, giving coaches a clear overview of each player’s profile. “We’re data-informed, not data-driven. But without data, it’s easy to rely on bias. With XPS, we can see training load and intensity clearly and make better decisions around training,” says Erik Jansson.

That shared visibility also sparks better conversations across the staff. If an issue appears in the data, coaches and performance staff can address it early – together.

One system, one way of working

By centralizing planning, communication, performance data, and medical information, XPS has become an essential part of Frölunda HC’s daily operations.

It helps the club stay aligned, efficient, and focused on what matters most: developing players and supporting them at every stage of their journey. For an organization built on long-term success, having everything connected makes all the difference.
