ADVANTAGES

have a question look here
Find Pickup Hockey Games
Rink Rats streamlines the process of discovering rink schedules and other important information for hockey players. This feature allows players to easily find information about pick-up games in their area, view full schedules of rinks that are part of the Rink Rats network, and access detailed information about the services and amenities offered by the rinks.
Join a game
Rink Rats simplifies the process of finding and joining pick-up games and league games for hockey players, especially for those who are new to an area or to the game. It eliminates the hassle and time-consuming task of searching for upcoming games, allowing players to easily register for games and join teams without any difficulties.
Player Confirmation
Rink Rats helps both players and rinks to alleviate the problem of not having enough players, especially goalies, showing up for the scheduled pick-up games. It not only makes it easy for players to discover and join games, but also allows players to confirm their participation on the day of the game, thus reducing the risk of last-minute cancellations. Additionally, it also helps rinks to fill the spots and improve their occupancy.
Game Cancelation
While the Rink Rats app helps to reduce the risk of last-minute game cancellations, unforeseen issues such as Zamboni breakdown or upcoming tournaments can still occur. In such cases, Rink Rats allows rink owners and ice contractors to easily communicate with players, teams and captains to inform them about the cancellation and schedule a new game. This helps in maintaining transparency and reducing confusion among the hockey commu
Player Replacement - Mens Leagues
Rink Rats enables team captains to easily communicate with potential replacement players when a team member is unable to make it to a Mens League game due to work, family, health or other reasons. This allows for games to continue, even if a player is absent. It improves the overall experience for the players, teams and the hockey rinks by providing a platform for seamless communication and continuity of the games.
Player Profiles
Rink Rats app assists team captains in finding suitable players for their team by providing a platform for players to create profiles that showcase their ice hockey experience and skills. This allows captains to easily identify players who are a good fit for their teams, and making it more efficient to build a team with the right balance of skills and experience
Skills Report
Rink Rats app caters to the players' desire to improve their skills by providing a skills clinic(coming soon) and then generating a report to help players understand their strengths and weaknesses. This report allows players to identify the specific skills they need to improve and how they can go about doing so, thus making it easier for them to take the next step in their hockey journey. This feature is beneficial for players who are serious about playing hockey to the best of their abilities and want to improve their skills.
Partner Products
Rink Rats app has a future plan of providing exclusive deals on hockey gear to its users. It plans to partner with a hockey supply company to offer discounts on training products and equipment, making it more affordable for players to get the necessary gear to enhance their game experience. This feature is a great added advantage for the players who can save money on their gear purchase while still being able to play the game at the best of their abilities.
Player Rating
TTo create fair and evenly matched teams, Rink Rats uses a unique algorithm that combines three different types of skills assessments: self-rating, peer rating, and actual rating. By utilizing the combined average from the Rink Rats trifecta, the app ensures a great user experience while also fostering a positive experience on the ice for players. This leads to more competitive and enjoyable games, which is beneficial for all players.
Manage and communicate with leagues
Rink Rats app not only facilitates communication between coaches and players but also enables communication between coaches and parents in youth hockey leagues. This allows coaches to manage upcoming games, communicate with other coaches and also to keep parents informed about the schedule, progress and other important information. This feature is beneficial for youth hockey leagues as it enables coaches to keep all stakeholders informed and up to date, leading to a more organized and efficient league management.
In-App Messaging
Rink Rats app eliminates the problem of players having to find the best way to communicate with each other by allowing them to message one another directly within the app. This feature, called "Chirping", not only allows players to message each other individually but also enables them to start group conversations. This is particularly useful for team captains who can start group chats with the entire team, fostering team communication and collaboration.
