RinkRat

Arena management for any rink, without the overhead.

RinkRat puts the ice schedule, booking requests, staff shifts, invoices, and the TVs in your lobby into one simple tool. It's sold as a low-cost yearly subscription with tiers you can shape around your arena, and it's already running at our first rink.

Running at Chief Young Eagle Recreation Center.

RinkRat's first live deployment is CYERC Arena, home of the Elsipogtog Hawks in Elsipogtog First Nation, New Brunswick. The public books ice there, managers run the schedule and staff, and the lobby and dressing-room TVs run on it every day.

Tiered
Start with what you need and step up only if your arena needs more.
Customizable
Tiers are shaped around how your arena actually runs, not the other way around.
Low cost
Built to stay within reach of community arenas and smaller operators.

Pricing coming soon.
