Hockey scout gets an update: Press Room app revolutionizes scouts’ workflow and efficiency – The Rink Live

In the fast-paced world of hockey scouting, where time and accurate information are of the essence, RinkNet’s press room app stands out as a game changer.

The innovative app, available for iOS and Android devices, is becoming a tool that more and more scouts rely on to optimize their workflow and simplify operations.

Our primary goal has always been to create tools that allow scouts and coaches to focus on what they do best in scouting and coaching, said Kenny Rausch, RinkNet’s Director of Customer Relations. Naturally, RinkNet has evolved to offer more, and our Press Room app is a testament to that.

The press room app is a free, easy-to-use system for all RinkNet subscribers and can be a powerful tool to enhance scouting. Those who are not currently RinkNet subscribers can book a free demo and subscribe to a free press room account to post their own team’s lineups.

Gone are the days when line charts were written manually on paper. Instead, scouts can use the Press Room app to access and edit line charts directly from their mobile devices in real time, eliminating unnecessary data entry. This means they can quickly identify priority players, track tactical formations and make informed judgments throughout the game.

In addition, lines can be seamlessly imported and exported directly into the scout game report, ensuring accuracy and limiting redundancy. The streamlined process saves scouts like Shane Fukushima with the Philadelphia Flyers valuable time.

“Having access to what I need, when I need it, is critical to making quick decisions and communicating with our staff,” he said. Taking notes on players and starting a game report directly on my phone or tablet cuts my work in half. I no longer have to take handwritten notes and retype them after the game. The more teams at all levels that can start publishing their own lines in the Press Room app, the better!

Apps’ live statistics and updates during games are also important to help coaches evaluate and make adjustments. Player profiles, game summaries and box scores are all available in real-time, allowing scouts to quickly gain comprehensive insights.

Another invaluable resource during games are bench cards. The ability to print these from the Press Room app ensures that coaches have the most up-to-date information to make tactical decisions on current formations.

Being able to use the bench card published in the Press Room app without a spreadsheet is a great tool and resource for coaches, Rausch said. It’s just one way RinkNet makes the coach’s work more efficient.

The press room application offers hockey scouts unprecedented convenience, efficiency and accuracy in their workflow. This tool allows scouts to make informed decisions on the fly and significantly contribute to their team’s success.
