Managing Your Roster
Via GameSheet Teams (Managers & Coaches)
GameSheet Teams 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.
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.
Pro Tips
- External ID is not required and will be generated if left blank. For more info on this field see the related article, What is the External ID?.
- To make this process faster, use the tab key to move between fields and the return / enter key to save.
