Press kit

HockeyBag.App turns packing a hockey bag into a quick tap-through. Every bag starts with the gear a player needs, listed in the order they put it on, from base layer to stick. Players tap each piece as it goes in, and a bar fills up until the bag is all packed. The checklist clears itself after the game, so it is ready for next time.

Families can add a bag for each player, with its own photo, three team colors and list. Skaters and goalies each get their own gear list. Each piece of gear can keep a photo, brand, size, price and a link to where it was bought, which helps when it is time for the next size up. Game-day reminders tell parents when to pack.

The app also keeps each player's game stats: the final score, goals, assists and shots on goal, or saves and goals against for a goalie, with save percentage and shutouts worked out. It adds up the season and turns any game or season into a picture to share with family and friends.

There is no account to make. Bags and stats stay on the family's own devices and sync through their own iCloud account.

The Andrews family, from Central New York, started enjoying hockey two years ago. We made HockeyBag.App to help young players get ready for practice and games on their own. Next came game stats. Skaters and goalies each get their own record, so every game and each season are saved and easy to share with family and friends.
