KIN­EXON Sports, a glo­bal lea­der in real-time ath­le­te track­ing and per­for­mance ana­ly­tics, and the Augs­bur­ger Pan­ther, one of Germany’s most tra­di­ti­on-rich ice hockey clubs, have exten­ded their long-stan­ding part­ner­ship for ano­ther three years.

Augs­burg, Munich, Ger­ma­ny — Octo­ber 10, 2025 — KIN­EXON Sports, a glo­bal lea­der in real-time ath­le­te track­ing and per­for­mance ana­ly­tics, and the Augs­bur­ger Pan­ther, one of Germany’s most tra­di­ti­on-rich ice hockey clubs, have exten­ded their long-stan­ding part­ner­ship for ano­ther three years. The rene­wed agree­ment reflects a deep mutu­al trust and a shared com­mit­ment to per­for­mance excel­lence, inno­va­ti­on, and ath­le­te well­be­ing in pro­fes­sio­nal hockey. 

Over the past sea­sons, KINEXON’s advan­ced track­ing and ana­ly­tics tech­no­lo­gy has beco­me an inte­gral part of the Panther’s per­for­mance and trai­ning eco­sys­tem. The sys­tem deli­vers pre­cise, real-time insights into play­er workload, move­ment inten­si­ty, and reco­very pat­terns. The­se insights have hel­ped the team’s coa­ching staff main­tain the balan­ce bet­ween per­for­mance opti­miza­ti­on and inju­ry pre­ven­ti­on throug­hout deman­ding PEN­NY DEL seasons. 

“Over the years, KIN­EXON has beco­me an essen­ti­al part of how we work,” said Adri­an Schelenz, Strength & Con­di­tio­ning Coach of the Augs­bur­ger Pan­ther. ​“The data gives us a clear pic­tu­re of how our play­ers respond to every ses­si­on and every game. It allows us to build workloads with pre­cis­i­on and ensu­re our ath­le­tes stay strong and healt­hy over the cour­se of a long season.” 

Maxi­mi­li­an Hor­ber, Mana­ging Direc­tor of the Augs­bur­ger Pan­ther, empha­si­zed the role of tech­no­lo­gy in sus­tai­ning the club’s com­pe­ti­ti­ve edge: ​“This part­ner­ship repres­ents our con­ti­nuous effort to pro­vi­de the best envi­ron­ment for our play­ers and coa­ches. With KIN­EXON, we work with a part­ner that stands for inno­va­ti­on and relia­bi­li­ty — qua­li­ties that fit per­fect­ly with our values and ambitions.” 

From KINEXON’s per­spec­ti­ve, the part­ner­ship is a show­ca­se of how trus­ted col­la­bo­ra­ti­on and tech­no­lo­gy can ele­va­te per­for­mance at the pro­fes­sio­nal level. ​“The Augs­bur­ger Pan­ther have been a valued part­ner in deve­lo­ping and app­ly­ing tech­no­lo­gy that makes a tan­gi­ble dif­fe­rence on the ice,” said René Prüß­ner, VP Stra­tegy at KIN­EXON Sports. ​“Our work tog­e­ther demons­tra­tes how data-infor­med insights can trans­la­te into sus­tainable ath­le­tic performance.“ 

Echo­ing that sen­ti­ment, Maxi­mi­li­an Schmidt, Co-Foun­der and Mana­ging Direc­tor of KIN­EXON Sports, added: ​“We are proud to con­ti­nue this part­ner­ship with one of the most sto­ried clubs in Ger­man hockey. It’s about shared ambi­ti­on — com­bi­ning the Panther’s sport­ing tra­di­ti­on with our dri­ve to push the limits of what tech­no­lo­gy can do for teams and athletes.” 

The rene­wed col­la­bo­ra­ti­on unders­cores KINEXON’s ongo­ing pre­sence in Euro­pean eli­te sports and high­lights the Panther’s com­mit­ment to modern per­for­mance stan­dards wit­hout losing sight of their histo­ry and com­mu­ni­ty spirit.
