## What is Hockey Play Maker?

Draw it. Watch it run. Share it with your team.

Hockey Play Maker turns your whiteboard into a moving playbook. Sketch a play in seconds, press play to watch every skate, pass and shot unfold, then step into the 3D arena to see it the way your players will on the ice. Players learn faster when they can watch the play happen.

BUILT FOR THE WAY COACHES WORK
- On the bench: draw what you want between shifts and show it right away
- At practice: set up drills with cones and extra pucks, and show what's coming next
- At home: build your playbook, study other teams, and try new ideas

DRAW A PLAY IN SECONDS
- Start from a set: breakout, 1-2-2 forecheck, power play 1-3-1, penalty kill box, or a faceoff
- Line up for a faceoff at any of the nine dots in one tap
- Drag a player to skate; tap a teammate to pass, the ice to send the puck there, the net to shoot
- Dump it in and watch it rim round the boards
- Pass to a spot on a teammate's route and the timing works itself out
- Hits, five on five or any strength, and undo any step

WATCH IT IN 3D
- Every play runs in a 3D arena, with the boards, the glass and a crowd
- Turn the view with a finger, pinch to zoom, and slow it down to teach the timing

A LIBRARY OF PLAYS
- Hundreds of plays shared by coaches: breakouts, faceoffs, power plays, penalty kills, offense, defense and drills
- Search by name, preview, and save the ones you like
- Upload your own, and use a team PIN so only your team sees them
- Share a picture of any play with your players

MAKE IT YOUR TEAM
- Team color schemes and your team name on the ice
- Show players as numbers, positions, X's and O's, or blank
- Add a note to each play
