Shinny

Shinny is the free way to find pickup hockey, stick & puck, tryouts, drop-in, and open skate at ice rinks across the US and Canada.
Follow the rinks you'd drive to. Set your skill level. When an organizer posts a session, you get pinged. RSVP in one tap, see live jersey counts (light vs. dark), switch positions or cancel right up until the puck drops.
FOR SKATERS
• Get alerts when pickup, stick & puck, tryouts, open skate, or rink events post at the rinks you follow
• Filter by skill tier so you only hear about games that fit
• Pick your jersey color and slot, change or cancel anytime before puck drop
• Earn status as you play
FOR GOALIES
You're the most-wanted player in adult hockey. Flip on "Goalie openings only" and you'll only hear when there's actually a net to fill. Opt into the Goalie Spotlight to be listed publicly on your city's page as available for subs.
