Hockey WhiteBoard

Hockey WhiteBoard is an application which allows you to display player and puck positioning on a full ice or half ice display. Simply drag the players and puck around with your fingertips as you explain to a player how to position themselves on the ice! Each team can be represented as one of two colors (Team #1 can be red or green, Team #2 can be purple or orange), and you can have 3-5 players on each side on the ice at any time. The letter designation on each player can be changed by simply double-tapping that player.

HWB 1.5.2 NOW AVAILABLE, SOME REPORTS OF FREEZING ON STARTUP.
An update for Hockey WhiteBoard (v1.5.2) was approved for sale Monday in the App Store. This update fixes the bug in 1.5.1 described below. Two users have reported that, after updating, the application freezes on startup. If you are experiencing this problem, please email support@sandcrater.com ASAP! Thanks!

Bug in Hockey WhiteBoard version 1.5.1!
HWB 1.5.1 was just approved for sale in the App Store. At the time I discovered that there is a bug in Hockey WhiteBoard when run on an iPad. When in landscape orientation on an iPad, events on the far right side of the screen do not appear to register. So you cannot move players that are on the far right side of the screen, you cannot use the file selection table view and you cannot start drawing on the far right side of the screen. I am working to fix this as it appears in my development version of Soccer WhiteBoard as well. When fixed, both apps will be released!

New in Version 1.5.1 (Current Available Version)
Hockey WhiteBoard version 1.5 is a Universal Application that supports the Apple iPad platform. When run on an iPad, the ice surface and the white board controls all appear on the main screen for convenient use. Both version also add the ability to specify any string as the player "label" on the player circle (in most cases on two letters or numbers fit), and you can choose a wide variety of colors for each team.

New in Version 1.3.1: Version 1.3 adds the ability to draw lines with your finger on top of the playing surface when you put the application in "drawing mode". Drawing mode is entered by performing a large vertical swipe (without dragging a player dot). This is equivalent to putting a "transparency" over the playing field upon which you can draw. When you are done drawing, double-tap to remove the transparency. If you want to erase the transparency, give the device a good shake! Additionally, you can now specify 0-6 players on each side. This was in response to a request to only show the goalie dot when in "Crease Mode".

New in Version 1.2: Version 1.2 adds the ability to show "trailing lines" when moving a player. When configured to show trailing lines, a gray line appears along the path you moved a player once you have completed dragging that player to a new position. To erase the lines, simply give your device a good shake! Additional, a "Goalie Crease" view has been added by request!

New in Version 1.1: Hockey WhiteBoard now has a single control view on the "flip side" of the ice. Just double-tap anywhere on the ice to access all of Hockey WhiteBoard's configuration options. A sixth skater has been added on each side (a goalie by default) which can be switched to a wing or center for diagramming situations where a goalie is pulled. You now have the ability to save the state of the whiteboard as well as the ability to load previously saved states!

Hockey WhiteBoard allows you to use your iPhone or iPod touch as a tool to help teach players of any age. Younger players are drawn in to the high tech solution and will not be as easily distracted when compared to using a traditional hockey white/clip board.

Not on the ice? Use Hockey WhiteBoard to set up a scenario and then ask your players to move the dots to the right position! It can be used as a teaching tool both on and off the bench.

Hockey WhiteBoard version 1.1 is currently available at the App Store! It costs $0.99 (US) with free upgrades up until version 2.0 is released.
