The software that understands the Swiss rink.
Built for SIHF clubs. Paak runs the club side, and follows your game on the ice: one tap changes a whole line, every player's ice time, penalties with the penalty box clock. SIHF / SEHV / LSHG affiliation built in, SIHF age categories, Sonderprivatauszug tracking with coach alerts. CHF pricing, European hosting. Free up to 100 members; the live match tracker is part of Paak Pro.
A whole line on the ice, in one tap.
Hockey changes in seconds, on the fly. Three or four substitutions one by one: nobody keys them in time, and everyone's ice time ends up wrong. In Paak you set your lines up once; during the game, one tap on the line puts it on the ice.
-
Set up your lines
On the team page, the "Lines" card offers four forward lines, three defence pairs, two goalies, two power play units, two penalty kill units and the extra attacker. A player can be in several lines, and you can add your own units. "Fill from positions" proposes a first set: nothing is saved until you press "Save lines".
Every plan -
Start the live tracker
The "Lines" bar sits above the "On the ice" tab, one pill per line, in the browser of your phone or tablet as on a computer.
Paak Pro -
Tap the line
Its players come on, the ones they replace go off, in a single tap. "Undo" in the notice, or the tracker's undo, reverses the whole line at once.
Paak Pro
- Each line tells you where it stands: "On the ice for 0:42", "Off the ice for 1:15", or "Not played yet".
- The forward line or defence pair that has rested the longest is marked "Next". It is a cue: you decide.
- A player in the penalty box is never taken off or replaced. A player absent tonight is skipped, and the line says so.
- The "extra attacker" unit takes the goalie off first; the goalie coming back replaces the skater who came on last.
- During a penalty the strength allowed on the ice drops: a line that is too big comes on short, and says so.
- The times shown come from the shifts the tracker already keeps for minutes played: nothing is typed in, nothing is invented.
What exists, and what does not yet. The line change is part of the live tracker, so of Paak Pro; setting up lines is possible on every plan. Lines are set up on the web: there is no lines editor on the phone yet. In the Android and iPhone app, the line change arrives with the next version published on the stores, which will read the lines set up on the web.
Paak records what you do on the ice; it does not replace your competition's change procedure, which stays the SIHF's. For the youngest, the change is even a rule of the game: in U9 and U12 the blocks change together on a horn signal every 60 seconds (NAFS game regulation 2026/27, art. 112). And Paak does not rate children: live tracking is not offered for age groups of 12 and under, so neither in U9 nor in U12.
The player rating moves by tenths, and you can read it.
Every player starts the match at 5 out of 10. Each action moves the rating by a small step, shown below; you can also adjust it by 0.5. Nothing hidden: the rating is a coach's reference, and +/- does not enter it. On the player's profile: points per game and ice time per game.
Less admin, more hockey.
While you are at the boards, the club keeps running: members register online from your club’s public page, pay their fees and sign their waivers, and everything lands in your dashboard, with nothing to re-type.
Included from the free plan: public page and member portal on every tier.
- Online registration from your club’s public page, no more paper forms
- Fees by card or SEPA direct debit, in one or several instalments per your plans
- Waivers and image-rights consent signed online, timestamped
- A member portal with no account, no password: schedule, payments, documents
- Automatic reminders and follow-ups: fees, licences, certificates
- One-tap roll call, attendance tracked session after session
Four penalties. The penalty box, timed.
Each penalty is recorded live and attributed to the player. For a minor, a major and a misconduct, Paak starts the penalty box clock in playing time: the player's entry is locked, and you confirm his return to the ice once the penalty is served. If the opponent scores while you are short on a minor, Paak asks whether it was on the power play, and releases the first minor.
Penalty minutes (PIM): a game misconduct is 20 minutes in the IIHF rule book (Rule 23.1, 2026/27 edition), which the SIHF applies.
Six players on the ice. Each in their place inside Paak.
Default formation: 1 goaltender + 2 defencemen + 3 forwards. A player's position also proposes your lines: "Fill from positions" groups forwards by three, defence by pairs and one goalie per line, in shirt order; you then change anything you like.
The SIHF's categories, not ours.
On a player's profile, the age category is picked from the SIHF's list: U9, U12, U14, U16, U18, U21. It is the "even" ladder in use since the 2025/26 season, which replaced U9, U11, U13, U15, U17, U20. U14, U16 and U18 are played in classes (Elit, Top, A): the class is a league, not an age, and it decides the contact rule, so it is not in the list.
The SIHF counts age by birth year, not by date of birth. Body checks are not allowed in U9 and U12, nor in the "Animation" classes U14-A, U16-A and U18-A; U21-A and the promotion and relegation rounds expressly allow them (NAFS game regulation 2026/27, art. 87.3). The rule is the SIHF's and your class's: Paak does not decide it.
Sources: SIHF, Reglement Spielbetrieb NAFS 26/27 of 25.09.2026 and youth birth years 2026/2027 of 10.09.2026, read on 14 October 2026.
Paak complements the SIHF's tools. It does not replace them.
Your official competitions (National League, Swiss League, MyHockey League, Women's League) stay with the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation. Paak does what the SIHF doesn't.
What the SIHF does (and continues to do): licences and player registrations (on MyHockey), official calendars, standings, refereeing, the Swiss national teams, coach education.
What Paak adds (and the SIHF doesn't): the day-to-day life of the club between official matches: members and dues in CHF, training attendance, individual statistics match by match, child-protection tracking with alerts, communications by team and by category, call-ups with a reply expected, several teams and seasons under one dashboard.
The SIHF is in the Paak federation registry (code SIHF). When you validate your club's affiliation, a "Licence SIHF" qualification type is created automatically: nothing to reconfigure. Paak is not connected to MyHockey: the A and B registrations still go through the SIHF's portal.
Sonderprivatauszug: automatic tracking of your coaches.
Switzerland has no direct equivalent to the French law of 8 March 2024. The Swiss instrument is the Sonderprivatauszug: the special criminal-record extract (art. 371a of the penal code), which shows court-imposed activity bans and contact bans. It can only be ordered for an activity involving regular contact with minors, against a form signed by the club: a volunteer who does not supervise cannot obtain one. In a junior section that means the coach and the assistants. Swiss Olympic recommends it for every coach in regular contact with minors, under the joint programme with the Federal Office of Sport "No sexual abuse in sport". Paak neither issues nor verifies the document: it tracks its status and warns before expiry.
- Issue-date tracking per coach: valid, expiring soon, expired
- One reminder 30 days ahead by default, or at 30, 14 and 7 days if you choose (renewal every 3 years by default, expiry date adjustable per staff member)
- CSV export of the coach list from Paak One (the French SI Honorabilité format, no Swiss format to date) · nLPD-compatible hosting, data in the EU
Default cadence follows the usual practice of Swiss sport federations; the expiry date is adjustable per staff member.
Attendance at training, even offline.
The Paak app for your coaches and club officers: offline attendance, a reminder before each session, the live match with Paak Pro. Included in every plan.
Your members get their own space, no account, no password.
A personal secure link in every club email: schedule and call-ups, dues payable online (“Pay everything” in one payment), medical certificate upload, progression, volunteering.

Frequently asked questions
Does Paak replace the SIHF tools?
No. Paak is complementary. Your licences and official competitions (National League, Swiss League, MyHockey League, Women's League) stay with the SIHF. Paak manages what the SIHF doesn't: members, dues in CHF, training attendance, individual statistics, communications, Sonderprivatauszug tracking.
Can a coach change a whole line in one tap?
Yes. You set up your lines on the team page (forward lines, defence pairs, goalies, power play and penalty kill units, the extra attacker). In the live tracker you tap the line: its players come on, the ones they replace go off, and one undo reverses the whole change. Each line shows how long it has been on the ice or how long it has rested. The live tracker is part of Paak Pro; setting up lines is possible on every plan. Lines are set up on the web: there is no lines editor on the phone yet.
Does the tracker work rink-side?
Yes, in the browser of your phone or tablet, nothing to install. You start the match from the bench and enter actions as they happen; the clock restarts at zero every period and you pause it at stoppages. The live match tracker is part of Paak Pro. The scoreboard is also in the Paak app (Android), where it works offline too.
Are hockey penalties handled?
Yes: minor (2 min), major (5 min), misconduct (10 min) and game misconduct. For the first three, Paak starts the penalty box clock in playing time, locks the player's entry and lets you confirm his return to the ice; a running minor or major takes a player off the strength allowed on the ice. Penalty minutes (PIM) follow the IIHF rule book, which the SIHF applies: 20 minutes for a game misconduct.
Are there ready-made training sessions?
Yes. On your team's session, choose an age band, a duration (45, 60, 75 or 90 minutes) and a theme out of seven: skating; puck skills and passing; shooting; small-area games and team play; goaltending; contact and checking; off-ice conditioning. Paak builds a minuted session (warm-up, two mains, a small game, a cool-down) from 44 drills that use the skills, the game forms and the steps the federations' published programmes name, cited as such. They are exactly the drills of the Côté Coach ice hockey guide, free to read. Every drill that touches contact names the gate of the federation, the category and the class. Planning, editing and saving the session is free; printing the sheet and club-authored drills beyond 5 are in Paak One.
Does Paak help prevent injuries in ice hockey?
Paak offers no prevention programme for ice hockey, on purpose: no exercise programme has been tested on ice hockey players with an injury outcome (literature review of 14 October 2026). What the research supports is a rule, not an exercise: in Canadian studies, leagues that do not allow body checking at 11 to 12 years old recorded fewer injuries and fewer concussions. Safety rules are the SIHF's: classes without checking, mandatory equipment.
How does Sonderprivatauszug tracking work?
Each coach has an issue date entered in Paak. Paak works out the expiry (3 years by default, adjustable per staff member) and sends one alert 30 days before the recommended renewal by default, or at 30, 14 and 7 days if you choose: an in-app notification to the club's admins on every plan; from Paak One also an email to the admins and an email to the coach, with the link to the Federal Office of Justice ordering portal. From Paak One the staff list exports to CSV (the French SI Honorabilité format; no Swiss format to date).
Does my data stay in Switzerland?
Not in Switzerland, but in the EU, which is on Switzerland's adequacy list (FDPO, Annex 1). Hosting at OVHcloud in France, authentication via Hanko (Germany), payments via Mollie (Netherlands), email via Brevo (France). nLPD-compatible hosting; Paak is built for GDPR and sells no data.
Is there TWINT for membership fees?
Yes. Fees are collected in francs on the club's account via Mollie, TWINT included, as well as by card.
