2.1. SHOT Attack scenarios

Attack Scenarios and Shot Attempt Categorization in Hockey Analytics

The video explains various attack scenarios and how shot attempts are categorized in hockey analytics, specifically for data collection in Elite Vision Live and Elite Vision. It highlights key definitions of different attack types based on timing and puck possession, with rebound shots always attributed to the original attack scenario.

Attack Scenarios Defined

• Rush A shot attempt within 5 seconds of entering the offensive zone with puck possession. Tagged with R on keyboard.

• Offensive Zone (OZ) Forche Check A shot attempt within 5 seconds after gaining puck possession due to a forche check (defensive pressure to force turnovers). Tagged with F on keyboard. Note: Forche is a defensive tactic to pressure the puck carrier in the opponent’s defensive or neutral zone to regain possession.

• Offensive Zone Faceoff A shot attempt within 5 seconds after winning an offensive zone faceoff. Tagged with O on keyboard.

• Sustained Possession A shot attempt after maintaining puck possession in the offensive zone for more than 5 seconds. Tagged with Z on keyboard.

• Outside Zone Shot A shot taken from outside the offensive zone (beyond the blue line). Does not fall under the standard attack scenario tags.

• Borderline Scenarios Shots that occur near the boundary of two attack scenario categories are assigned based on timing. For example, if more than 5 seconds have passed since a forche check, the shot is categorized as offensive zone possession.

Additional Notes

Rebound shots are always linked to the original attack scenario regardless of how many rebounds occur.

Keyboard tagging facilitates quick categorization during live data collection.
