The Hockey Net is an on-line interactive program that will allow hockey coaches and association managers to quickly and easily build websites for their teams and associations. Using a Hockey Net website will enrich your hockey experience, improve communication, and make administration of your Association or Team a faster and easier process.

What You Get

The basic structure for your website is already in place. All you need to do is to adjust the site to match your team colors, add your team’s logo, enter the names and contact information of your players and input your schedule of games and practices.

The Hockey Net will host your Association or Team website so your members can access all of the information they need about your association or team from any location, 24 hours a day.

The email addresses of all members, players, family members, coaches and managers are all contained within the site. This means that you can instantly send every player (or any other category of members) an email to provide them with urgent information, eliminating the need for long evenings on the telephone or expensive mailings.

The Hockey Net websites are secure and can only be accessed with a password that is provided by the administrator of the site (usually the coach or manager). This protects the privacy of your information.

The Hockey Net templates for Hockey Association and Hockey Team websites include all of the critical elements for communicating within your organization.

Easy to Use

The Hockey Net has been designed so that anyone with a basic knowledge of personal computers can build a professional looking hockey website in less than 2 hours. If you can type a memo on a computer, use the Internet or send an email, you can build a website using The Hockey Net.

All of the pages are preformatted for ease of use and the content of many sections is automatically provided (Syndicated News, CHA Rule Book, Arena Maps, Printable Pages).

The Hockey Net Web-sites are designed to accommodate lots of photographs, sounds and video of the players in action. We can arrange for a photographer to take professional quality digital photographs for your web site.

Once the Association or Team website is set-up (about 1-2 hours), the administrator, coach or manager can easily update the site to incorporate up-to-date player statistics, team standings, and a news article after each game (the updating process usually takes about 10 minutes).

In sections where the website administrator has to enter data (game schedule, player data, statistics and league standings), the website is designed to make this a simple and fast process using pick-lists and drop-down boxes.

The Association and Team website administrators will receive a complete instruction manual, and the administration section of the website has lots of helpful tips built in to minimize frustration.

What You Don’t Get

The Hockey Net Inc. has a strict policy that we will not allow annoying pop-up advertising on our sites, we will not sell or redistribute the personal information or email addresses of our clients or the members of their websites. Your members will not receive unwanted emails or SPAM from The Hockey Net.

The Cost

To build a professional looking website can cost thousands of dollars, and the minimum cost of having a service provider host your site on the Internet is about $10.00 per month. Because The Hockey Net has been designed to be ultra-efficient (the same basic website design is being used by thousands of teams) and the hosting cost is shared by all Association and Team websites, we can offer The Hockey Net websites to your Association or Team for just $100.00 plus taxes. This price includes everything you need to provide a website for the hockey season (use of our system for building your website, the hosting fee, unlimited access to the websites by your members, on-line help, plus our customer support line in the event that you need a little extra help).
