HOW TO IMPORT GAME DATA

There are a few ways to add a game. From a phone or iPad, email it to us. On a laptop or desktop, the free Chrome extension brings stats, every shift and a video link for each shift from TPE in one click. Goalies: see Goalie stats below.

Email us a game

Forward the game email you got, or attach the game PDF. One game per email.

Send it from the email you sign in with. That's how we know it's your player.

Add this address to your contacts

Playing in a TPE league?

Forward us the email TPE sends players and we'll save the video of every shift. It has no stats. To get stats in:

  • •Use the Chrome extension on a computer.
  • •Or ask your coach to send us the team report from their free coach account.
Does the order matter?
No. Send games in any order.
What if I send the same game twice?
We skip the copy. Nothing counts twice.
How will I know it worked?
The game shows on your player's games in about a minute. We also email you back. If you don't see our email, check Spam or Promotions.

Get the Chrome Extension

Free. Install it once on a laptop or desktop, then every game is one click from TPE. (Extensions don't install on phones or iPads.)

Add to Chrome
1

Add the Free Chrome Extension

On a laptop or desktop, add the Shift Excellence: Game Capture extension to Chrome (one time, button above). Then sign in to Shift Excellence in that same Chrome.

Tip:Extensions don't install on phones or iPads (Chrome on an iPad can't add them). Use a laptop or desktop for this part; the game shows up on your phone or iPad afterwards.

2

Log In to TPE and Open Your Game

Log in to the TPE portal with your player's login, then open the game you want. The Players page works (so does Shifts).

Tip:A red "Capture this game" button appears once a game is open. Don't see it? Refresh the TPE page once.

3

Click "Capture This Game"

Click the red button and leave the page open while TPE flips to Players and back. The very first time, pick which of your players this TPE login belongs to. After that it's one click per game. When it's done, click "Watch on Shift Excellence" to see every shift with its video.

Tip:Usually under a minute. The game lands on your dashboard with stats, every shift and a video link for each shift.

HAVE A GAME PDF?

Got a game stats PDF from your league or coach? Email it to our import address (next card) from the email you sign in with, one game per email, and we reply when it's in. Or tap the upload box on the Add games page. Works on a phone. Stats only, no shift video.

OUR IMPORT ADDRESS

Email a game PDF here as an attachment, or, if your league's stats provider (such as Hudl) emails a match report, forward that original email and we import the stats and clips from it.

Goalie stats come from two places. Season stats (games played, save % and goals-against average) load on their own for the leagues we have. Per-game stats come from TPE's goalie stats file (a CSV): save %, scoring-chance save %, rebound % and average shot distance. We're adding that file next. Team reports and the Chrome extension cover skater stats, so they won't fill in a goalie's saves.

ADD YOUR FULL-TEAM GAME REPORTS

Your full-team game report (the PDF with both teams' stats) fills in lines, ice time, faceoffs and Who Stood Out for that game, and unlocks the Full Game Report. The easiest way in: open that game's Last Game page and drop the PDF in the Game report section right under the score.

•Drop it on that game's page: the report is matched to the game you dropped it on. If the PDF is for a different date, nothing is imported and you're told which game it belongs to.
•Usually 1–2 minutes: it runs in the background, so you can leave the page. The section shows what's happening, then flips to “Game stats uploaded” when it's done.
•Your coaches hear about it: when a game report finishes, you and the other coaches working in this team get a notification and an email naming the game; whoever uploaded it always does. Re-sending the same file only tells you. If it can't be imported, whoever uploaded it gets the reason and how to fix it. (Demo accounts: notification only.)
•Players not on your roster: if the report has players we couldn't match, the Game report section lists them with an “Add to roster” button.
•Several games? Use Upload Game and add up to two at a time; they run in the background, and each one is matched to its game by date.
•Prefer email? Attach the PDF (one game per email) and send it from your coach login email to the address below. You'll get a quick confirmation when we receive it.
•Got a TPE game email? Forward TPE's “TPE - Playlists” email to the address below the week it arrives, from your coach login email (or have whoever got it forward it, with you in the chain). We download the team report from its link for you. TPE's report link stops working 14 days after the email is sent; after that, download the full game report from the TPE portal and upload it here.
•Resending is safe: sending the same file again just updates that game. No duplicates are created, and if a re-send can't be read, the stats you already had stay in.
•Checking on it? Pull down on any page to refresh.

GAME STATS

From the Chrome extension, a forwarded report email or an uploaded PDF. 60+ stats imported including goals, assists, TOI, shifts, xG, Corsi, zone play, puck battles, and shot maps.

GAPTS+/-SOGTOIxGCorsiHitsBlocks

Shot maps, shift-by-shift ice time and zone play show on each game's page.

PDFs up to 10 MB. Don't see your stats provider? Let us know.

VIDEO CLIPS

With the Chrome extension: every shift, each with a link that opens TPE's video right at that shift. From a forwarded report email: the clips below, saved to your game page.

▶Full Game— Complete game footage
▶Player Shifts— Every shift your player took
▶Goals— Every goal scored
▶Shot attempts— Every shot try, on goal or not
▶Shots on Goal— Shots that hit the net

Only if your league emails you a report. It looks like this: the game matchup at the top, video links in the middle, and your individual stats at the bottom. Just hit Forward on the whole thing.

From: Your stats provider (e.g. Hudl)

Subject: Match report Calgary Buffaloes U18 AAA - RINK HA Kelowna U18 Prep

Important: Forward the actual email — don't copy and paste the text. The hidden links behind the buttons are what we need to save your video clips and download the PDF. Copy-paste strips those links out.

NOT ON TPE AND NO STATS EMAIL?

If your league isn't on TPE and doesn't email game stats, you can still add game data:

  • 1.Upload a PDF: if you have a game stats PDF from any source, upload it on the Add games page. Supports most league stat sheets.
  • 2.Coaching a team? Upload full-team game report PDFs from your team upload page.

DOES THE ORDER MATTER?

▼

No. Send games in any order.

WHAT IF I SEND THE SAME GAME TWICE?

▼

We skip the copy. Nothing counts twice.

HOW WILL I KNOW IT WORKED?

▼

The game shows on your player's games in about a minute. We also email you back. If you don't see our email, check Spam or Promotions.

WHAT'S IN THE TPE EMAIL SENT TO PLAYERS?

▼

Shift video links, not stats. Forward it to us and we save the video of every shift on the game. To get stats in, use the Chrome extension on a computer, or ask your coach to send us the team report from their free coach account.

WHAT IF MY LEAGUE ISN'T ON TPE?

▼

If your league's stats provider emails a match report, forward that email to us. Otherwise, email us a game stats PDF or upload it on the Add games page.

WHY DON'T I HAVE VIDEO CLIPS? I UPLOADED THE PDF / USED THE EXTENSION.

▼

If your league uses TPE: open the game on the TPE site and click "Capture this game" with our Chrome extension — every shift comes with a link that opens TPE's video right at that shift. If your game report arrives by email instead, forward the original email and we save the clips from it automatically. A PDF upload brings stats only.

HOW DO I SAVE A GAME FROM TPE WITH THE EXTENSION?

▼

Log in to Shift Excellence, then open the game on TPE. A red "Capture this game" button appears once a game is open. Click it and leave the page open while TPE flips to Players and back. The very first time, the extension asks one quick question: which of your players this TPE login belongs to. Tap your player's name once and every game after that is one click. When it's done, click "Watch on Shift Excellence" to see every shift with its video.

I DON'T SEE THE RED BUTTON ON TPE.

▼

The button only shows once a game is open. If you just installed or updated the extension, refresh the TPE page once. If Chrome turned the extension off after an update, switch it back on from the puzzle-piece menu (Manage extensions).

DO VIDEO CLIPS EXPIRE?

▼

Video captured with the Chrome extension opens on TPE's own site, so it stays available as long as TPE keeps the game up. Video links inside a forwarded report email usually stop working after 5 to 8 weeks on the provider's end; we save them the moment you forward the email.

WHAT IF I FORWARD THE WRONG EMAIL?

▼

No problem. If the email has no game report link and no PDF attached, nothing gets imported and we reply to say so. If it does have a PDF, we only add it when the PDF names your player and the email came from your sign-in address.

CAN I FORWARD OLD GAME EMAILS?

▼

Yes! Go through your inbox and forward any past game report emails. The stats will import as usual. Video links may have expired, but the PDF stats will still work. TPE coach emails are the exception: the report link in them stops working 14 days after it is sent, so download that report from the TPE portal and upload it instead.

I FORWARDED THE EMAIL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED

▼

Make sure you forwarded the original game email (not a summary or screenshot) to the exact address (import@in.shiftexcellence.com), and send it from the same email you use to sign in. That's how we match it to your player. We'll email you to confirm when a game comes in. Check Spam or Promotions for our reply. If it still doesn't work, you can upload the game PDF on the Add games page.

CAN MULTIPLE PARENTS FORWARD FOR THE SAME PLAYER?

▼

Yes. As long as both parents are linked to the player (via the shared player feature), either parent can forward game report emails and the data goes to the same player profile.

WHAT STATS GET IMPORTED?

▼

Everything on the game stats PDF: goals, assists, points, plus/minus, shots, time on ice, shifts, faceoffs, hits, blocked shots, zone play, puck battles, xG, Corsi, and 60+ advanced analytics. Plus all video clip links from the email.

DO I STILL NEED TO UPLOAD THE PDF?

▼

Not if you used the Chrome extension or forwarded a report email. Both bring the stats in on their own. A game PDF you have can be emailed to us as an attachment (one game per email) or added on the Add games page (open Other ways to add a game, then tap the upload box or drop the file on it).

IT SAYS IT COULDN'T FIND MY PLAYER

▼

Make sure your player is set up in the app first, then forward the email again. After it works once, your future games match automatically.
