Objective of the study was to analyze the benefits of modern information technologies used in the hockey training process based on the type of training and stage of implementation.
Methods and structure of the study. The study was carried out based on the system, integrated, and functional approaches applied at the level of general scientific methods. The system approach to the process of training of the hockey players helped identify the basic types of training and associated information technologies, while the integrated approach was applied to process the data on different characteristics of athletes’ activity and reliability of assessing these characteristics using modern information technologies. Thus, we identified four main groups of indicators for assessment of the effectiveness of sports activity of hockey players. And for each group, the information technologies were seen from a holistic perspective depending on the stage of implementation of these technologies.
Results and conclusions. In the hockey training process of today, it is possible and necessary to use a good many information technologies that boost the effectiveness of the training process.
However, the bulk of modern information technologies used in the hockey training process are quite expensive and require specially designed technical equipment and availability of staff skillful with this equipment, which makes it difficult to mainstream these technologies.
Along with the expensive information technologies used in hockey, there is a fairly large number of inexpensive methods of estimation of the level of training of hockey players that are most commonly used by coaches and can be extended to computing devices at a relatively low cost, which will significantly improve the effectiveness of these methodologies.

Keywords: hockey, training of hockey players, information technologies, technical-tactical actions, remote technologies.
