Ice Hockey World Championship Division 1A: Vogo Connects France’s Coaching Staff

At the Ice Hockey World Championship Division 1A, Vogo equipped the French national team’s coaching staff with its Vokkero Staff audio communication system. The aim: to keep video analysts in the stands and coaches on the bench connected throughout each game.

Held from 2 to 8 May 2026 in Sosnowiec, Poland, the tournament brought together six nations: France, Japan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. With two promotion places to the top division at stake, France played five games in seven days.

Vokkero Staff: A Direct Link Between the Stands and the Bench

In an ice hockey arena, background noise and the distance between staff members can make communication difficult. Vogo’s Vokkero Staff enables the coaching team to share observations instantly while maintaining clear audio communication.

This direct link helps coaches coordinate and respond quickly, particularly when deciding whether to request a video review. Renaud Jacquin, manager of the French men’s national team, highlighted the system’s contribution to clearer exchanges and more responsive coaching.

Vogo’s Audio Expertise Supports Coaching Decisions

This deployment demonstrates a practical application of Vogo’s technology in elite sport: connecting analysis with the action to support informed decisions. For the French coaching staff, the company addresses an essential need in competition: getting the right information to the right people at the right time.
