The National Hockey League (NHL) set out to elevate officiating standards by developing a gamified Learning Management System (LMS) that trains officials through interactive, video-driven quizzes. Hesli collaborated with the NHL to craft this innovative platform, designed to foster continuous learning and sharpen decision-making skills under pressure.

The NHL's goals centered on creating an LMS that mirrored real-game scenarios, with quizzes scored by speed and accuracy to reflect the high-stakes environment of officiating. In addition, Hesli developed an admin portal for quiz management, a video databank, and official profiles, while crafting a mobile-friendly experience that allowed officials to track progress and engage with content on the go.

The development process involved close collaboration with NHL officials to ensure authenticity and relevance. Real-game footage was integrated into quizzes to simulate realistic scenarios. The platform evolved through an agile approach, starting with an MVP to gather feedback and refine the experience. Gamified features, such as leaderboards and trophy cabinets, kept officials engaged and motivated to improve.

The result was a dynamic, engaging LMS that enhanced the quality of officiating across the league. By combining video-based learning with competitive elements, Hesli delivered a transformative solution that ensures officials are well-prepared and continuously improving, reinforcing the NHL's commitment to excellence.
