Unravel the Mysteries of Penalty Assessment
Rulebooks do not contain everything needed to correctly handle every penalty situation. We did the hard work for you by discovering the full penalty assessment algorithm with over three years of software research. Read our story and learn more about how this web site came about!
Who we can help
The first iteration of our product offerings are aimed squarely at hockey officials and scorekeepers, for off-ice training purposes only. When it comes to assessing and handling penalties, "learn by doing" with the world's first advanced hockey penalty simulator. Coming soon, we will offer a scoresheet product for use during live gameplay.
Officials
Spend more time assessing the right penalties and less time figuring out complex penalty situations. Forget the long-winded explanations to scorekeepers and let our software do the explaining instead. Ensure every infraction is correctly penalized according to the rulebook, including situations involving "captain's choice."
Scorekeepers
Reduce "scoreboard anxiety" with concise explanations of the correct procedure for every imaginable penalty situation. Receive explanations detailing exactly what penalties to put on the scoreboard and why. Designed for scorekeepers with little or no experience with hockey or scoreboards.
Enthusiasts
Parents, coaches, and hockey enthusiasts can educate themselves on the proper handling of penalties by plugging in hypothetical penalty situations and observing how they should be handled. Learn advanced concepts such as when additional players and substitutes are used or when a captain's choice is required.
