Line Manager keeps an amateur hockey team organized between the whistle and the next puck drop — lines, schedule, attendance, stats and team chat in one place, instead of spread across group texts and spreadsheets. BUILD YOUR LINES Drag players into forward lines, defence pairings and the crease. Keep a bench of scratches and swap them in with a tap. Publish a lineup when it is final so the whole team sees the same sheet. GAME DAY Kiosk mode turns a phone or tablet into a locker room display, showing line assignments in large, readable type for the bench. RUN THE SCHEDULE Games and team events in a list or on a calendar, each with the rink, the sheet of ice and a map of the venue. Tap through for directions. Past games keep their scores, so the season's story stays in one thread. KNOW WHO IS COMING Players RSVP in, out or maybe. Running counts tell you whether you have enough skaters and a goalie before you get to the rink, not after. TRACK THE SEASON Record goals and assists by period. The app keeps the season record, goals for and against, recent form and team leaders in points, goals and assists, with a page for every player. SEASON DUES Owners and admins can mark who has paid for each season, with an optional note. Only the team's owner and admins can see it. The app never handles money. STAY IN TOUCH Team chat plus captains-only and group conversations, with photos and reactions. Push reminders for upcoming games and for RSVPs still missing. MANAGE THE ROSTER Players with photos, numbers and positions, captains marked, and injuries noted so nobody puts an injured player on a line by mistake. Owners and admins control who can change what. PAPERWORK IN ONE PLACE Share waivers, rink rules and team documents, and see at a glance who has acknowledged each one. VETERANS SUPPORT Built with the Joint Forces Veterans Alliance, the app includes direct access to the Veterans Crisis Line and veteran-focused resources. INVITE ONLY Line Manager is not an open network. You join a team by accepting an invitation from its owner or an admin, and you only ever see the teams you belong to. If you have not been invited to a team, this app will not be useful yet. FREE No purchases, no subscriptions, no advertising, and no third-party analytics or tracking. Line Manager is not affiliated with the NHL or any league.
