How FanRink Works

For Fans

• The Ice

  Your global hockey feed. Every post, goal clip, game thread and hockey moment from every team and league on FanRink.

  Find it: Bottom nav — the puck icon

• My Rink

  Your personalised feed. Filtered to the teams and leagues you follow. Your team, your rivals, nothing else.

  Find it: Tap the home icon

• Fanzones

  Every team has its own Fanzone — one community for that team's fans. Match photos, game threads, club updates, fan reactions.

  Find it: Go to any team page and tap the Fanzone tab

• Locker Rooms

  Fan-created communities. Not tied to a team — built around topics. Beer league chat, fantasy hockey, transfer rumours.

  Find it: Community tab

• Scores and Games

  Live scores, schedules and results. Filter the feed to game activity, or browse the Recent Results and Upcoming rails. Tap any game card to join the game thread.

  Find it: Scoreboard icon

• Your Profile

  Your fan identity. Badge collection, XP, posts, followed teams.

  Find it: Tap your avatar

• Messages

  Direct messages between fans.

For Teams and Clubs

If you play hockey — rec, beer league, junior, university — your team belongs on FanRink too.

1. 1

   Search for your team first

   Before you do anything, search your team name in FanRink. It might already be there, especially if you play in a registered league. If it comes up, go to the team page.

2. 2

   If your team is not there, request it

   On the search results page, tap "Can’t find your team?" Fill in the request: team name, league or association, location, your role. FanRink usually adds teams within 48 hours and notifies you when it’s live.

3. 3

   Claim your team's Fanzone

   Go to the team page and tap "Claim this team." This gives you team admin access — post official updates, pin posts, manage the Fanzone, invite co-admins.

4. 4

   Set up your team profile

   Add your team logo, team colours, home rink and league. Takes five minutes. Your players and fans see this every time they visit.

5. 5

   Invite your players

   From your team admin panel, go to Roster and tap "Invite players." Share the invite link in your WhatsApp group chat — fastest way. Or enter email addresses one at a time.

6. 6

   Invite opposing teams

   Share the team invite link with opposition team admins in your league. When they join, game threads between your teams start automatically.

7. 7

   Post your first update

   Post from your team admin identity: a training session photo, a fixture announcement, a pre-match lineup. Your followers and players see it immediately.
