Episode 22: Film Doesn’t Lie - Even at 8U
Description
We’re not saying you should do video review for mites… but we kinda did. This week, Scott and Jamie welcome Erik Cagnina from Athletic Performance Insight (API) to break down how game film and analytics are changing the youth hockey game - and why more teams (and parents) are leaning into the data.
From tagging every offside to breaking down goalie angles, it’s a look at how video tools can actually help kids develop, when used with a little perspective.
In this episode:
- Yes, there was film review at 8U. Yes, it was a Crazy Hockey Dad/Coach thing.
- How AA hockey can still be part of your path to Junior or D1
- Weekly Rant: A jersey number saga, a Crosby tantrum, and a lesson in listening to your kid
If you’ve ever lugged a monitor into a hotel conference room or wondered if you’re doing too much - this one’s your therapy session.
