Draw up hockey plays in seconds. Start from a face-off, forecheck, breakout, or special-teams setup, tap a player and then a spot on the rink to draw a skate, pass, shot, or carry, and press play to watch it run. Built for youth coaches and players on any device.

How it works

• Pick a preset formation.
• Drag a player to move them; tap a player then tap a spot to draw a route.
