RinkLog is more than a hockey stats tracker in your phone: it's a complete platform for hockey parents. RinkLog doesn't replace the official scoresheet: it completes it with what the scoresheet doesn't record, like every shift, ice time, shots, faceoffs and plus/minus, one tap at a time. ONE PLATFORM, EVERY SCREEN - Track on your iPhone or iPad in the stands, then open everything on your computer's big screen at home - Everything is saved in the cloud: change devices, nothing is lost - On a paid plan, large charts and full season analysis on the big screen, ready to print or export - The player profile and calendar, reachable from anywhere and synced with your phone's calendar - On a paid plan, invite the other parent or a family member, each with their own login, all in the same player file WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Arenas rarely have coverage. RinkLog saves everything on the device first and syncs when the phone is back online. YOUR BOARD, YOUR WAY Everything is customizable. Want it simple? Three buttons: ice time, shots, goals. Want the full picture? Up to 18 buttons: goals, assists, shots on goal, missed and blocked shots, hits, backchecks, battles, takeaways, giveaways, penalties, faceoffs won and lost, goals and scoring chances for and against while on the ice. Ringette adds blue line passes. Start from one of ten ready-made boards (center, winger, defense, goalie, simple mode and more), then add, remove and drag buttons where you want them. Turn on only what you want to follow: ice time, shot zones, periods, duels, shift ratings, live score and, for goalies, where the puck hit. Don't want to track ice time? Leave it off. Every goal can carry where it came from, one of five shot types and where it entered the net. Every faceoff can carry its exact dot. EVEN STRENGTH, POWER PLAY, PENALTY KILL Ice time is split three ways, and you can correct a shift after the fact. 45 CHARTS 29 for skaters and 16 for goalies, plus heat maps and five analysis sections: by period, duels, saves, battles and shift ratings. Four charts are open on the free plan, all of them on a paid plan. FULL GOALIE MODE Saves, goals against, save percentage, goals against average, shutouts, save percentage by danger zone, rebounds, quality starts and GSAx, with its own board and heat maps. LIVE GAME FEED Grandparents, the other parent, friends: anyone who can't make it to the rink follows the game and your player live. Unlimited with Franchise and Club, two games to try it with Premium. A CALENDAR THAT REMINDS YOU Games, practices, tournaments, skate sharpening and more. Paste your league's calendar link (Spordle, TeamSnap, Goalline or another provider) and games add themselves, resynced every morning. Reminders the evening before and two hours before each game, and a nudge after the game to add the scoresheet. They work even in airplane mode. THREE SPORTS, THREE SETS OF RULES Hockey, dek hockey (3 on 3, 4 on 4 or 5 on 5) and ringette, each with its own surface, penalties and vocabulary. PLANS Free is a real plan, not a trial: track every game, skater or goalie, and see the last three games. Premium: two players, complete history, every chart, exports. Franchise: five players, unlimited live game feed, monthly AI report, printable reports. Club: twenty players. English and French. iPhone, iPad and the web. Built in Quebec by a hockey parent.
