Coachware Hockey Software


Coaching software has been a while in coming, but negotiations have been completed and once the Coachware website is up and running, all our coaching staff members will have the opportunity to use and purchase this exciting and useful coaching software at a reasonable cost. 

This Hockey software is one of the best we’ve found that allows a variety of powerful, interactive tools for hockey organizations and associations so they can operate at an optimum level and free up their coaches to concentrate on what they do best - COACH!

Coachware Performance (formerly Professional) is an innovative software program that allows coaches to teach and mould winning strategies by selecting and customizing drills from an extensive database. Drills may be created individually or they may be accessed through our extensive already created drill data base. This version of Coachware offers advanced statistical gathering and play development which includes the ability to create:

complete player and team statistics, including roll-up analysis
creating and tracking team plays
keeping an eye on the competition through playbook
integrating affiliate players into the roster
graphically analyzing statistics
