Why Commissioners Choose RocketHockey
RocketHockey is hockey league management software built by people who actually run hockey leagues. We got tired of clunky enterprise platforms, paying per-game fees, and software that looked like it was designed in 2005. So we built something better.
Unlike alternatives that nickel-and-dime you or require a week of training, RocketHockey gives you everything you need: automated schedule generation, real-time statistics tracking, roster management, and online registration with payments—all with a modern interface your players will actually enjoy using.
We also built something no other hockey software has: true live scoring with a public view that updates in real-time. Fans at home can follow along as goals are scored at the rink. It's the feature our customers rave about most.

The Bottom Line
GameSheet is great if you primarily need official game sheets and USA Hockey reporting. But it's not a full league management solution—you'll still need another tool for scheduling, registration, and league websites.
HockeyShift is a solid option for adult rec leagues, but lacks the live scoring and modern interface that players expect today.
SportsEngine is the enterprise standard for large youth associations, but comes with enterprise pricing, long contracts, and a dated interface that frustrates both admins and players.
RocketHockey combines the best features of all three—plus our unique live scoring—at a price that works for leagues of any size. And yes, we integrate with GameSheet if you need official game sheets too.
