Managing Your Roster

Via the Team Dashboard (Managers & Coaches)

The Team Dashboard is designed specifically for managers and coaches to be able to see and manage all of their teams in one place. All roster management can be handled in the Roster tab of the Team Dashboard.


Setting up a new roster

New rosters can be added via CSV import, USA Hockey import, Hockey Canada Import, or manually (one at a time). If you have an approved Hockey Canada or USA Hockey roster, we recommend using these options.

Adding Existing Players / Coaches from the “Season Roster”

To add an existing player / coach from the Season Roster, use the “Add Existing “ button and search the season by player / coach name. This is useful for selecting from a pool of already registered players. This pool includes players who could be on other teams or just part of the season waiting to be selected.  

Manually, One-at-a-Time

From the Team Roster page of the Dashboard, new players and coaches can be added using the “+ New “ button. Fill in the required fields (name for players, name and position for coaches) and save.
