Questions and answers

HockeyOnline is a live game report for ice hockey that runs in the browser. Scorekeeper, timekeeper, referee, announcer, the arena scoreboard and every screen in the building work on the same game, and the report is compatible with eGREP and hockeydata’s league server.

For everyone involved in running a game: scorekeepers, timekeepers, referees, announcers, team and club managers, and the leagues and federations that receive the reports.

HockeyOnline starts in Germany and Austria, for clubs and leagues that report their games with eGREP and hockeydata’s league server, as in DEB and ÖEHV competitions. The team, club, screen and announcer features work for every club there, also for games that are reported on paper.
