New Poll Feature

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

When running a site such as this one, its very important for us to know what types of things you like or don’t like about the site. We’re also interested in knowing what kinds of things you’d like to see happen going forward. We’ve decided to add a new poll to the right hand side of mot pages. This poll will be updated with new questions from time to time and we would really appreciate it if you took the time to make a selection and vote.  This kind of information drives our development in the right direction. We could guess all day at what kinds of stuff you guys care most about, but at the end of the day, we could be dead wrong! We appreciate your ongoing support and please continue to spread the word about CentralOhioHockey.com

Thanks,

C.O.H. Dev Team

Becoming a Captain

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

In order to begin entering both game and player stats for your team you’ll need to identify yourself as a captain. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Log in with your username and password. The “login” button is in the top right of the screen. You’ll need to use the same  username and password as used for the forum.
    login
  2. Navigate to your team’s page. You’ll need to prove to us that you are in fact the team captain; Please don’t bother trying to become the captain of a team you are not associated with.
  3. Click the “I’m the Captain!” Button in the top right. If you don’t see this button, either you are not properly logged in or someone has already registered as the captain of this team. If you are the captain of your team and the button does not appear for you, please email me at coreysnyder@centralohiohockey.com and I can get you set up.

Team History is live!

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

As you might have noticed we’ve launched a new “Team History” table on the teams pages. Team History was designed to allow our users to follow a team not just in its current session, but also see how they did in past sessions and leagues.

When looking at a team’s page, such as The Hive, you’ll see a new table down at the bottom called “Team History”. In this table, they have an entry which lists a team name of “Village Idiots” for the “Winter 2010″ session. This tells you that last session they were the “Village Idiots”, and since then have updated their name to “The Hive”. Along with the Session and Team name, this table also shows a brief summary of how they played that session.

If you want to drill in further and see how they played against the other teams in that league for that session, you just have to click on either the Session or Team Name. This will take you to the team’s page for that particular session. One last thing to note, at the top of the page you’ll see:

Village Idiots
Sunday D East – Winter 2010

This helps you to identify which particular session & league your looking at.

If your team has changed names or leagues, and needs to be “Connected”, you’ll need to contact me at coreysnyder@centralohiohockey.com and I can take care of this. Our software has caught most of the changes but team name changes can be quite tricky!

We hope you enjoy this new feature, and as always, please post any comments, questions, or concerns below.

Site Changes Incoming!

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Summer ‘10 session has begun and we’re excited! For those of you who are refreshing the site hoping to see changes, do not worry. They are coming. We are hard at work on updating things. Currently our focus is not only on bringing in the data for the new session but also linking up teams to their data from last session.

When this is done, your new team page will include a flashy new table called “History” which will list all of the past sessions your team has played. Each entry in this table will show Session, League, GP, W, L, T, PTS, GF, and GA. This will be how you will track a teams progress through the leagues.

These updates and more are set to drop sometime between now and early next week. Keep checking back for more info.

As always, please post your comments, questions, or concerns below.
