The Deutscher Eishockey-Bund e. V. led in The coaching app “My Ice Hockey” was introduced in January 2020. The software, which was developed by the Swiss company Force8 GmbH, can simplify and standardize processes such as season and training planning as well as team and player management.
After an intensive evaluation phase, the decision was made DEB-Sports Director Stefan Schaidnagel on the introduction of the app: "We have tested various solutions to optimise our internal procedures and processes. The app convinced us from the start in terms of usability and clarity. With My Ice Hockey, we are giving everyone involved an effective tool for game and team planning. Both our coaching staff and the players and employees will benefit from this form of digital communication. Ultimately, this will also save us time when it comes to the overall planning of our national teams and at the same time build a valuable, reusable database."
Taking the diverse requirements into account
Karl Schwarzenbrunner, national trainer for science and training adds: “For our selection teams, a uniform club solution for controlling training and competition management and for collecting, evaluating and archiving relevant data is becoming increasingly important. This is the only way to take into account the increasingly diverse requirements in work processes in the long term and to ensure targeted athlete control. And this is where My Ice Hockey helps us enormously.”
