Make video and data an all-star player for your coaching workflow
The lightning-fast puck and player movement in ice hockey make it more challenging to capture all the action at all times. As a consequence, it has limited the availability of access to effective analysis for ice hockey teams, and substantial potential for improvements is untapped.
Enter Spiideo: an MVP on the sidelines for ice hockey teams, leagues, and media companies determined to break away from the limitations of manual video and data capture. Spiideo’s unique sport-specific AI AutoFollow is trained to follow the way ice hockey is played. Focus on the action is automatically captured and instantly ready to playback – on any device over the cloud, from multiple angles, all seamlessly in a single file.
It’s the ultimate power play, setting the stage for an automated pro-level capture, analysis, and broadcast process. But that’s not all. With AutoData for Ice Hockey, all videos can be enhanced with insights and bring the game to life in a completely new way.
Finding the perfect clip with Spiideo AutoData
To get the full picture of play from several angles requires multiple cameras. A side-line camera provides a clear view of vertical spacing, and at the same time, a goal-line camera is vital to tracking the horizontal positioning of players out on the ice.
With Spiideo’s extensive range of AI automated camera options, different angles can be captured – fully automatic – throughout the rink and seamlessly stitched together within Spiideo Perform. Users can switch between vantage points to view a clip from various angles, receiving an elite view of the most pivotal moments. Traditionally, this has never been possible due to the nature of multiple cameras and files not synchronized, but with Spiideo, this is the standard procedure.
A typical challenge with a large amount of video to watch and the fast pace of the ice hockey season, users might find themselves shut out from accessing the insight video provides. Many top leagues have a Spiideo League Exchange in place, which sees every game played by every team shared across the league, and adds a great amount of accessible video to all teams, coaches and players.
How do you know exactly what clips to view?
Introducing AutoData 24: a game-changer for time-constrained coaches, analysts, and scouts. With just a click, pro-level event and player breakdowns are available for any recordings in under 24 hours. With a timeline showing every action, users can pinpoint and review the moments that matter without putting in the legwork.
Simply put: do nothing, get everything.
Complete game reviews in under 30 minutes
Combining video and data tracking with Spiideo’s new Active Play feature – which removes everything that’s not part of the game play – the time it takes to review games is reduced even further. Automatically clipping recordings from face-off to whistle, three-hour files are effortlessly cut down to 60 minutes.
For NHL scouts tasked with tracking the progress of players in the USHL, the United States’ top youth ice hockey league, this means that entire games can be watched from any angle at double speed in just 30 minutes. But, scouts can also filter specific game events or players, to zoom in on the focus area
Enabling scouts to do more in less time, they are equipped with superpowers to achieve the most efficient scouting, with fewer moments of magic going unnoticed and a bigger chance the most promising players get their shot at the big league.
I think everyone deserves a fair shot — I don’t want a talent to miss out because I didn’t have time to review the footage. Spiideo’s multi-angle system helps because I don’t need to watch a clip 10 times to understand it. I can simply flip to the best view and keep the recording rolling
Assisting players in reaching their full potential
Spiideo’s strength is the massive amount of context it adds to every single moment of play. It’s not just one clip from one angle; it’s the freedom to virtually move around the rink, discover the perfect clip, and gather insights with pinpoint precision.
But data alone won’t provide a difference out on the ice. It’s the insight it unlocks that makes the difference. AutoData adds another level of power to coaches’ analysis and feedback by creating game-winning visualizations such as interactive shot maps, heat maps, and zone graphics. Users can click on a data point within the visualization – such as a specific shot attempt on the shot chart – and instantly load that moment in the video timeline. The data alone might suggest it was a poor shot, whereas the video shows the perfect set-up for a rebound goal.
Both video and data offer plenty of ability, but together they make an all-star team.
That shot from the edge of the offensive zone… It might look like a wasted opportunity on a data visualization, but when you watch the clip and see the resulting rebound, you realize it was a moment of pure genius. Data is useful, but you really need that supporting evidence that Spiideo provides
Boosting the fan engagement with data-driven production
AutoData isn’t just a game-changer on the ice, but in the production room too.
Clubs, leagues, and broadcasters can take their social media game to the next level by utilizing the efficiency AutoData unlocks. Remove the tedious process of tagging, reviewing, and clipping. With Spiideo rinkside, it’s as simple as clicking a data point and then get the clip to share. Less time, more content, more engagement, and more eyes on the game.
In addition, Spiideo Play’s Storyboard, revolutionizes live event production. Using data-driven run sheets, elements such as instant replays and graphical overlays are automatically triggered without any human assistance. It’s premium sports production at a limitless scale – with data leading the line.
