Full Data Analysis: Skate Profiles vs Position and Foot Size

🔷 1. Profile Popularity Overview (Top Profiles)

🔍 Insights:

• The Quad series dominates with ~46% usage, favored for their agility and balance.
• The Zuperior series accounts for a large share (~33%) and is known for strong edge control and power skating—great for Defense and larger Forwards.
• Goalie profiles make up a very small portion (~2.7%), expected as this is primarily a skater dataset.

🔶 2. Position Breakdown

🔍 Insights:

• Forwards make up 67% of the total player pool.
• Agile Forwards represent the largest single category, aligning with high usage of Quad Zero and Quad 1 profiles—these offer tighter turns and faster acceleration.

🔸 3. Foot Size Distribution

🔍 Insights:

• Majority of skaters wear sizes 7 to 9.5, which aligns with adult and teenage competitive hockey demographics.
• Smaller sizes (1–4.5) would typically represent youth or small-frame players, often using XS and 3XS profiles.
• Larger skaters (10.5+) often get mapped to Zuperior L/V or Quad 2, supporting more power and blade contact.

🔗 Combined Analysis: Matching Profiles with Position and Size

🧬 Agile Forwards (37%)

• Typically in foot sizes 6–9.5
• Frequently use Quad Zero, Quad 1, and Quad XS
• Prioritize acceleration, edge transitions, and tight turning

🧬 Power Forwards (30%)

• Larger foot sizes, usually 8–11
• Use Quad 1, Quad 2, and Zuperior M/L
• Need blade profiles that support long strides and upper-body strength

🧬 Agile Defense (11%)

• Medium sizes: 5.5 – 8.5
• Prefer Zuperior XS/S/M
• Require quick directional shifts and defensive agility

🧬 Power Defense (21%)

• Larger foot sizes: 8 – 12+
• Use Zuperior M/L/V, sometimes Quad 2
• Focused on blade stability and powerful straight-line skating

📈 Profile Recommendation by Size (Summary Table)

The skate profile data reveals clear trends across player types and foot sizes, showing that the Quad series profiles (especially Quad 1 and Quad Zero) are the most popular, favored for their agility and acceleration, particularly among Agile Forwards. The Zuperior series, known for edge control and power, is widely used by Power Forwards and Defensemen with larger foot sizes. Most players fall within foot sizes 7 to 9.5, aligning with standard competitive levels, while Goalie-specific profiles make up only a small portion of usage. The combined insights indicate a strong correlation between player position, foot size, and profile choice, with agility-focused players using tighter radius profiles and power-focused players opting for more stable, stride-enhancing options.
