In modern sports there is a tendency to develop the speed of movement, the speed of decision-making. The primary signal to any external influence is the response of our body. The faster the reaction rate of our body, the more successful we are in a particular sport, where these indicators are important. Hockey is no exception. It is extremely important for a hockey player to make quick and effective decisions. Considering the above, there is the question: is the speed of reaction important for the performance of forwards? The purpose of the work is to analyze the probability of the interdependence of the characteristics of psychophysiological functions during the formation of the professionalism of hockey players with the performance of forwards in ice hockey at the age of 12-14. Materials and methods – testing was carried out using psychophysiological and psychological diagnostics on special equipment. Eighty young hockey players aged 12 to 14 participated in the study. Results of the study and their discussion. The psycho-physiological qualities and performance of hockey forwards were analyzed during the research. It is very important for 12-14-year-old forwards to score goals and be able to pass to a goal, as this is a very strong argument for the scouting services. In professional hockey the need for a forward to play productively is very high. The study examined the influence of psychophysiological qualities on abandoned goals and assists, and as a result, we can offer information about the characteristics of psychophysiological functions during the formation of the professionalism of a hockey player in percentage probability. Conclusion. According to the studies, we can say that there is no direct relationship between the performance of hockey forwards and high results in the framework of psychophysiological functions. It means that if there is a need to select a high-scoring player when selecting forwards for hockey teams, these criteria are not entirely accurate to apply.
