Testimonial: Philipp Bohnenblust, Sports Director SCL Young Tigers & Assistant Sports Director SCL Tigers
In the dynamic world of ice hockey, where efficiency and accuracy can make the difference between winning and losing, a powerful team management system is essential. My Ice Hockey is just that tool – it offers ice hockey organizations of all sizes the ability to manage their administrative and planning tasks with minimal effort.
Marco Bäschlin, CEO of Force8 (the manufacturer of My Ice Hockey), talked to Philipp Bohnenblust, Head of Sport at the SCL Young Tigers, about exactly that:
Marco Bäschlin: For which ice hockey organizations do you think My Ice Hockey is the right tool?
Philipp Bohnenblust: Whether it’s junior teams, amateur clubs or professional teams – My Ice Hockey is flexible and customizable, making it suitable for any organization. All relevant data is managed centrally, which greatly simplifies communication and collaboration between different levels within the organization. This comprehensive system ensures that everyone, from head coaches to youth coaches, has access to the information they need to be successful.
Marco Bäschlin: Does My Ice Hockey help you and the coaches to simplify everyday coaching?
Philipp Bohnenblust: Planning and administering a team can be time-consuming and tedious. My Ice Hockey was developed to minimize this effort. With user-friendly planning functions, automated processes and a clear overview of all relevant data, coaches can focus on what really matters – the development of their players and coaching. Whether training plans, match preparations or player evaluations – everything can be done with just a few clicks.
Marco Bäschlin: We have three main focuses: (annual) planning, implementation and evaluation. How do you rate the evaluation option of My Ice Hockey?
Philipp Bohnenblust: A major advantage of My Ice Hockey is the ability to carry out detailed evaluations. The system offers a variety of analysis tools that allow coaches to monitor performance data and player progress. Whether statistics on training sessions, match performances or individual development data – with My Ice Hockey, coaches always have an overview and can make well-founded decisions.
Marco Bäschlin: How important is it for you to have the same information about the players in one place?
Philipp Bohnenblust: A particular highlight of My Ice Hockey is the “Player History” function. This function ensures that consistent and continuous information about each player is available from the registration level onwards. This history includes all relevant data, from the first training sessions to detailed performance analyses. This gives coaches a complete overview of the development and current status of their players at all times, which makes individual support and targeted coaching much easier. In my opinion, My Ice Hockey is more than just a planning tool – it is a powerful solution for any ice hockey organization that paves the way for sporting success through efficient processes, detailed evaluations and comprehensive player information.
Marco Bäschlin: Thank you very much for the interview, Philipp.
