World Hockey Lab—International coach Hiroki Wakabayashi—goalie camp in Phoenix, Arizona

Director’s notes on filming a hockey training camp in Phoenix for World Hockey Lab:

Had a great time working with Hiroki. He was nervous that I’d get hit by a stray puck while filming. While I wore a helmet, I didn’t have any other gear on. It worked out okay. It’s actually the first time I’d been on the ice for a little while—it was nice to be out there, even if I was just filming. Had I trained under Hiroki when I was younger, I would have been a better goalie. For the creative direction, Hiroki wanted the video to resemble his coaching style: efficient, high-energy, and intense. I think we got it 🙂
