What HockeyTech does

HockeyTech is a Waterloo, Ontario-based technology company that provides an integrated suite of hockey-specific digital services to leagues, teams, scouts, and fans worldwide. Its core products include HockeyTV (live and on-demand streaming, streaming 30,000+ live games per year across 75+ leagues with a 150,000+ game on-demand library, distributed via web, iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and Android TV, now integrated into the FloHockey platform), LeagueStat (real-time game scoring and statistics that feed league, team, and media websites and apps), RinkNet (the world's largest private hockey player database with 250,000+ active players, used by all 32 NHL teams), ISS Hockey (a worldwide scout network producing player evaluations at major tournaments and thousands of league games annually), and ViPr OPS (a private video network for teams) together with Pixellot-powered ViPr automated cameras. The company also developed near zero-latency video streaming with Genius Sports and the AHL to enable sports betting distribution.

HockeyTech generates revenue through multi-year enterprise technology contracts with hockey leagues and teams (covering LeagueStat, RinkNet, websites, and mobile apps), direct-to-consumer HockeyTV subscriptions, and acquired media rights that it monetizes through streaming and syndication. Its customer base spans professional (AHL), major junior (CHL: OHL, QMJHL, WHL), collegiate (ACHA — nearly 500 teams), junior (NAHL, BCHL, MJHL, KIJHL, SPHL, OJHL, VIJHL, and others), and amateur/administrative organizations (Hockey Alberta, CSSHL), plus the entire NHL via RinkNet. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for league services and self-serve/OTT distribution for HockeyTV subscriptions.

The company was founded in 2013 by Stu Siegel (former Florida Panthers Managing Partner/CEO) through a series of acquisitions, building on brands that have served hockey since 1998. HockeyTech was acquired by FloSports on October 4, 2021 and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, with Stewart Zimmel as President reporting to FloSports leadership. The company is headquartered at 445 Wes Graham Way in Waterloo with U.S. offices in Bedford, NH and Boca Raton, FL, and is recognized for its hockey-specific domain depth and integrated platform approach.
