# HockeyOnline

> HockeyOnline runs the whole game night in the browser: live scoresheet, timekeeper, arena scoreboard, signage, referee phone and AI announcer. eGREP compatible.

HockeyOnline is the game report for ice hockey, rebuilt for the browser. The scorekeeper, the timekeeper, the referee and the announcer each work on their own device, the arena scoreboard and every screen in the building follow the game live, and everything it writes is compatible with eGREP and hockeydata’s league server that leagues in Germany and Austria use.

HockeyOnline is in beta: the whole app, rolling out with the first clubs now. eGREP is a product of hockeydata GmbH. HockeyOnline is an independent app that works with eGREP and hockeydata’s league server.
