Create a clip for every confirmed save and goal with enough time before the shot to show the developing play and enough time after it to show the rebound or whistle. Keep the complete library for review, then select a concise group of representative or standout plays for sharing.
Review clips and highlight clips serve different jobs
| Clip type | Purpose | What to include |
|---|---|---|
| Review library | Understand the full game | Every confirmed save and goal, plus useful context |
| Coaching set | Discuss one question | A small group of similar saves and goals |
| Highlight compilation | Share standout moments | A concise selection of clear, varied plays |
A highlight reel is not a complete performance record. That is fine as long as the audience understands what it is. Keep the underlying game report available when a coach or family member wants the complete context.
A five-step clip workflow
Confirm the event time
Start from a suggested moment if one is available, but adjust it when necessary. The shot or goal should be easy to locate without making the viewer scrub.
Preserve the lead-up
Include enough time to see the puck enter the zone, change sides, pass through traffic, or generate the rebound chance. A clip that begins at release may hide the most useful part of the play.
Preserve the result
Continue through the rebound, cover, clear, goal, or whistle. The first contact is not always the end of the save.
Organize, then select
Tag the complete game before choosing favourites. That keeps the review honest and makes it easier to find variety: rush saves, traffic, lateral plays, recoveries, and controlled rebounds.
Share the right view
Use a private link for coaches, family, or teammates when possible. A public social post should be concise, avoid unnecessary personal details, and follow team and league policies.
What makes a compilation easy to watch?
- Open with a strong, easy-to-understand play.
- Use enough pre-roll to make the save meaningful.
- Keep the pace tight and remove long dead periods.
- Show more than one type of situation.
- Use simple labels only when they help the viewer.
- Include a small Goalie Vision link or watermark so viewers can find the tool.
Use goals against in the private review
A public highlight compilation may focus on saves. The private film-review library should not. Goals, saves, and uncertain plays together provide the evidence needed to ask better questions. A useful coaching set might deliberately include two successful and two unsuccessful examples of the same situation.
Common questions
How long should each goalie clip be?
Long enough to understand the play and short enough to stay focused. The right duration varies by event; a clean point shot may need less context than a rush with a lateral pass and rebound.
How long should a goalie highlight video be?
There is no universal length. Prefer a concise selection that respects the viewer’s time. Keep a separate complete report or clip library for anyone evaluating the full game.
Should I add music?
Only if it suits the audience and you have the right to use it. Coaches often value clear game audio and quick access to the play more than effects.
