REVIEW. REFLECT. REPEAT.

Hockey game review guides and player check-in templates

A game is easier to learn from when the review has a purpose. Start with a small set of moments, hear what the player noticed, and carry one clear focus into the next game.

Choose the guide for the job in front of you

Coaches: use the hockey video review workflow to connect a play, a question and a practice focus. It includes a sample weekly routine and a way to organize clips by player without turning every review into a meeting.

Working from YouTube: follow the saved-moment guide to mark a time range, add context and choose who can watch. The video stays on YouTube; a saved Hockey Hub moment is a replay range with notes, not an exported video file.

Need questions: copy the player self-evaluation template. It includes rating anchors, topic questions and a written next-game focus. You can use the template independently or adapt future team check-ins in Hockey Hub.

Parents: use the family film-review routine to invite your child’s perspective and keep the conversation manageable. A private family workspace is separate from the player’s club team.

Choosing software: read the buyer’s guide before deciding between a video editor, a hockey review workspace and automatic tracking software. The right choice depends on what you need to create, share and measure.

A repeatable review loop

  1. Choose one purpose before opening the game: a team habit, an individual decision or a situation you want to revisit.
  2. Save a few short moments that show the context before the decision as well as what happened afterward.
  3. Ask the player what they saw before giving your own interpretation.
  4. Use a check-in to record the player’s reflection and one next-game action.
  5. Look back after the next game or practice. Compare the same behavior in a new context rather than treating one rating as a verdict.

What these guides describe

Hockey Hub connects embeddable YouTube game video, coach-created saved moments and notes, player self-evaluations and season trends. Coaches and parent managers create the clips and publish check-ins; players watch the moments shared with them and answer through their own accounts.

The guides use illustrative hockey situations and sample questions. They describe a reflection routine, not a promise of improved performance. Star ratings are the player’s self-report; manually tagged goal breakdowns are not automatic tracking.

One $299 USD annual account includes up to two teams or private family workspaces owned by the coach or parent. Each workspace supports 25 players and three assistants. Players can join multiple invited teams with the same login; the two-workspace limit applies to ownership, not player memberships.
