The app allows the parent or player to keep a record of activities, a training log, a journal, a session tracker and a way to rate over 40 hockey skills. It's designed to work in conjunction with any hockey skill development business that offers camps and clinics.
The web page service allows members of the hockey community to search for skill development locations. Hockey skill centres can post for free.
The 80 Hours icon is a centre ice graphic representation. We tried at first to come up with an image that represented the hard work and emotions that players put into developing their skills. Sweat came to mind and so did a tear drop. Having coached hockey and with two boys in rep hockey, the amount of time spent on skill development became very clear. I added up the hours of practices, third party training and dry-land training for the year. The result was between 75 to 79 hours. With some rounding, we ended up with 80 hours.
