Design plays, run smarter practices, and develop your players.
BenchIQ brings the whiteboard, the film room, the practice plan and the team binder into one modern app — from the bench to player development.
Everything a coach needs
One platform for tactics, practice planning, team management and player development.
Animated tactics board
Draw plays and systems on a true-to-scale rink, then animate them step by step — players, pucks, passes, shots and motion paths that move on play.
Learn more →Ask BenchIQ & the AI drill builder
Describe the drill or the system — “2-on-1 with a backchecker”, “1-2-2 forecheck” — and it draws it as real editor steps you can edit. Ask it anything about your team, your schedule, your stats or your evaluations.
Learn more →Drills, practice plans & presenter
A searchable library of drills and systems, sequenced into timed plans with stations and split ice, presented at the rink with a shared clock, then recorded in a thirty-second debrief.
Learn more →Film room & tagging
Any camera, any angle. Tag goals, shots, entries and breakdowns as you watch — every tag is a clip and a stat. Playlists by player or situation, drawing on the frame, sharing to the hub.
Learn more →Stats & analytics
Track games live, read the official game sheet with AI, or let the film tags do it — one trustworthy stat line per player, team dashboards, game reports and Three Stars.
Learn more →Develop
Season targets with status and trend, the practice mix against your own buckets, the evaluations board and every athlete's progress read in plain words.
Learn more →Hockey IQ & learning paths
A free Daily 5 for every athlete, a Hockey IQ assessment coaches assign to the roster, and Athlete+ learning paths that fix the gaps it finds.
Learn more →AI skating & goalie analysis
A phone clip becomes stride-by-stride measurements and a goalie stance report, with a flag that comes back with something to do about it.
Learn more →Player development
Every athlete gets a hub: profile, goals, skill evaluations with per-category notes, fitness tests and a stat line that follows them across teams and seasons.
Learn more →Team hub, lineups & messaging
Roster, lines, a coaching and team-talk feed, direct messages, polls, photos and push and email notifications — with custom roles for every kind of helper.
Learn more →Schedule, RSVPs & calendar sync
Games, practices and events with RSVPs and reminders, plans attached to practices, and two-way Google and Apple Calendar sync.
Learn more →Clubs, associations & registration
Districts, associations and clubs in one tree: a shared curriculum, coach onboarding, announcements, reports — and season registration with payments.
Learn more →Coach film marketplace
Coaches offer paid film review; athletes and families book it from inside BenchIQ with clips, feedback and payment in one place.
Learn more →A whiteboard that actually moves
Place players and pucks, draw passes, shots and skating lanes, and attach motion so your play animates across each step. Layer in highlights, pen and text annotations, then export a clean drill card or an animated clip.
- Step-by-step animation with playback, onion-skin and timing
- Video analysis — annotate and record over game film
- Drill cards, image and animated-clip export
- Touch-friendly, works on a tablet at the rink
