How to Create Game Lineups in Under 5 Minutes

🏒 Short on Time? You Can Still Coach Like a Pro.

As a hockey coach, you’re constantly juggling tasks—practice plans, team chats, parent emails, and game-day logistics. But one task you shouldn’t waste time on? Building your game lineup.

With modern tools like HockeyApps.com, you can now build and print your full hockey lineup in under 5 minutes. Here’s how.

⏱️ Step-by-Step: Build a Lineup in 5 Minutes or Less

Step 1: Open the Hockey Lineup Builder

Go to HockeyApps.com on any device. No login required. It works on iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop.

Step 2: Add Your Team Details

Fill in the basic team info:

• 🏒 Team name
• 🆚 Opponent name
• 📅 Game date
• 🧑‍🏫 Head coach and assistant coaches
• 🧢 Team manager (optional)

Pro Tip: Upload your team logo for a professional-looking PDF export.

Step 3: Enter or Paste Your Roster

Paste your full player list into the Team Roster box. Each name goes on a new line. The app will automatically pull from this list when you build your lineup.

Step 4: Assign Players to Each Position

Use the dropdowns to assign players to:

• Forwards (Left Wing, Center, Right Wing)
• Defense (Left and Right)
• Goalie

You’ll have space for multiple lines and pairings. The dropdown only shows names from your roster—so it’s fast, easy, and mistake-proof.

Step 5: Click “Export Lineup to PDF”

Once you’re happy with the layout, click the “Export PDF” button to generate a professional, printable game lineup. You can:

• Save it to your phone
• Email it to your staff
• Print it for the bench
