The GIF(ter)

from Frank Seravalli of TSN,

If you've seen an animated hockey highlight on Twitter recently, there's a good chance it is a product of the handiwork of @myregularface.

Her real name is Stephanie Vail - and she's quickly become one of the most integral players in hockey's social media community.

Vail, 28, records a snippet of team broadcasts on her computer and compresses them into GIF form for instant posting on Twitter. They are short, silent and looping videos, but they capture the most important moments: a goal, a celebration, a controversial play, an injury, a priceless reaction.

With 10 or 12 games on any given night, it's impossible to have your eye on every key moment around the league.
