Rinkside

Now completely free — every feature unlocked. Rinkside is the all-in-one bench companion for minor hockey coaches.

Rinkside is the all-in-one coaching app built for the bench — not the boardroom. Whether you're running warmup drills, calling a line change, or reviewing player development after the game, Rinkside keeps you organized and in control.

BUILD YOUR LINES Drag and drop players into even strength lines, defensive pairs, power play units, and penalty kill units. Use the AI Lines Builder to generate optimized lines based on player ratings and your coaching strategy — or adjust on the fly. Export a clean lineup image to share with your team before puck drop.

MANAGE YOUR ROSTER Every player gets a full profile: jersey number, position, shooting hand, photo, and notes. Track shooting, passing, skating, and hockey IQ across the season. Apple Intelligence surfaces season summaries, top strengths, and development focus areas — all on-device, completely private.

COACH ON GAME DAY Rinkside's Game Day Command Center is your digital bench clipboard. Track score, shots, and period. Run your lines with one tap. Monitor special teams, manage the penalty box with a live countdown, track goalie switches, and use the configurable line-change buzzer to keep shifts sharp.

PLAN BETTER PRACTICES Build practice plans from a curated drill library, browse drill videos in the Drill Hub, or have AI generate a session tailored to your team's report card data. Run Mode walks you through each drill with a countdown timer and Live Activity / Dynamic Island integration. Rate drills after the session. Export a full practice plan guide to share with your assistant coaches. Sketch on the fly with the built-in Whiteboard.
