We are excited to begin a new partnership with SaiPa, one of the well-established clubs in the Finnish Liiga. Based in Lappeenranta and competing at the top level of Finnish ice hockey, SaiPa has a long tradition of developing talent and competing with passion. 

Now, with the adoption of XPS Network, the club is taking an important step forward in managing performance and player well-being.

Bringing Data Together with XPS Reports

SaiPa’s Strength & Conditioning Coach Antti-Juuso Ropo explained that the team deals with a huge flow of information on a daily basis, coming from many different sources. For him, XPS Reports brings the clarity they’ve been looking for:

“XPS allows us to handle data in the simplest and most efficient way possible. The amount of data we get from athletes is really large and it is collected from many different sources. With XPS we can bring it all together in one place.”

This centralization helps the staff save time and ensure that no detail gets lost, giving both players and coaches a clear overview of performance and wellness.

Analyzing Performance On and Off the Ice

Of course, it’s not just about collecting numbers – it’s about using them to make better decisions. As Ropo highlighted, XPS Reports provides a crucial tool for both reflection and planning:

“XPS allows us to analyze all the factors that affect our players’ performance, both on and off the ice. That makes it easier not only to understand the past but also to plan more effectively for the future.”

By combining performance tracking, wellness monitoring, and long-term data analysis, SaiPa can take a more proactive approach to player development, injury prevention, and game preparation.

A Partnership for the Future

Toni Kallio, Sales Director for Finland at Sideline Sports, underlined the value of the new partnership: “We are excited to begin this cooperation with SaiPa, following their strong season last year.” He added that the integration of XPS Reports strengthens the club’s commitment: “By introducing XPS Reports into their daily workflow, the club is reinforcing its commitment to performance and player well-being.”

For Kallio, one of the key advantages is how information is managed: “A central advantage is the ability to create clear visual reports by bringing data from several different sources into one system.” This not only simplifies the coaching staff’s work but also ensures reliability: “This makes the work of the coaching staff more efficient, ensures that information is not lost, and provides a solid foundation for decision-making both on and off the ice.”

He concluded by stressing XPS’s wider vision for supporting clubs: “At XPS, our mission is to deliver tools that make complex processes simpler, allowing coaches and players to focus on development, preparation, and long-term success. We look forward to supporting SaiPa in the seasons ahead as they continue to grow and compete at the highest level.”

With XPS Reports now integrated into the club’s daily workflow, SaiPa is creating a more efficient, data-driven environment that will support both athletes and staff. The partnership marks an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to supporting the club as they continue to grow and compete at the highest level.
