Rink Statistic

Stop guessing. Start knowing. Rink Statistics turns every game into numbers you can trust: shots, goals, faceoffs, penalties and expected goals (xG). You log it all live from the bench or the stands, and the whole team can follow along in real time. TAP. PICK. DONE. Tap the ice where it happened and the picker pops up right under your thumb. Goal, shot, miss, block, faceoff or penalty – one event takes two seconds. Position, game time and period are saved automatically. You keep up with the game and still get to watch it. TURN YOUR PHONE – THE WHOLE RINK In landscape you get the full rink, and the half you tap decides the team: the attack zone is yours, the defensive zone is theirs. Clock and score sit in a slim strip on top, and at the intermission the app suggests switching sides. SEE WHY YOU WON – OR LOST xG shows how dangerous the chances were, not just how many shots were taken. The shot map shows where the goals came from, the momentum curve shows when the game turned, and period-by-period stats show what happened in the middle frame. It's all there the moment the final whistle blows. YOUR GOALIE GETS REAL NUMBERS Save percentage, goals saved above expected (GSAx), shot zones and a heat map of the net that shows where the puck goes in. With goalie mode you log where in the net each shot went and what kind of shot it was. FOLLOW THE GAME LIVE – FREE Invite parents, coaches and family with a code or a link. They see every shot in real time, plus the team's stats, but they can never change anything. The Follow tab puts every team you follow in one feed, with live games and a live ticker on top. Following a team is free. SHARE THE WIN – NEW Make a sharp match card with the score, xG and momentum, then send it to the team chat or post it on Instagram. GIVE YOUR SPONSOR A SPOT – NEW Add the team's sponsor and it shows at the intermission for everyone following the game. It's an easy way to give something back to whoever backs the team. THE WHOLE SEASON ON ONE SCREEN Form, goal difference, xG for and against, wins and losses – updated after every game. Seasons and tournaments are kept apart. ASK THE AI "Where do we concede the most goals?" Ask a question about the season and get a plain-language answer, with the events drawn on the ice. BUILT FOR A COLD ARENA The Night Ice design is dark, crisp and easy to read in an arena. The buttons are big and the numbers are readable from the bench. Your team is ice blue and the opponent is orange, so you can tell who did what at a glance. WHO IT IS FOR Coaches and staff in youth and senior hockey, the stats keeper in the stands, the goalie coach and the parent who wants to follow the team for real. ALSO Available in English and Swedish. Sign in with email or Apple. Your games are saved in the cloud and follow you between iPhone and iPad. You can delete your account and all of your data from inside the app. SUBSCRIPTION Try it free for 7 days. After that, Rink Statistics Pro costs SEK 49/month or SEK 399/year (pricing may vary by region). Following a team that someone else records is always free. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your device Settings after purchase.
