TeamDock vs GameChanger
GameChanger is great at what it's built for: live scorekeeping, stats and streaming so families can follow the game in real time. TeamDock isn't a scorekeeping or stats app at all. It's a team hub: communication, film notes, player feedback, schedule, and a branded public team page.
These two solve different problems, and plenty of teams use both: GameChanger on game day, TeamDock for everything around it.
Where GameChanger shines
For the live game (scoring, stats and streaming) GameChanger is purpose-built.
- Live scorekeeping and play-by-play during games.
- Box scores, season stats and player statistics.
- Game streaming so families can follow along.
- A familiar follow-the-game experience for fans.
Where TeamDock fits
TeamDock is the home base for the other six days of the week, and the season as a whole.
- Team communication, news and an automatic branded newsletter in one feed.
- A Film Room for timestamped notes around clips you host elsewhere.
- Per-player development feedback and goals over the season.
- Schedule, files and documents, photos, polls, fundraising and a branded public team page.
The Film Room
Flagship featureYour game film, turned into coaching.
The Film Room is where TeamDock stands out. It organizes your coaching around video you already host, so the teaching lives right next to your schedule, feedback and team news.
- Tag any moment at the exact second on clips you already host (YouTube or Vimeo).
- Aim each note at a player, a pair, or the whole team, and keep coach-only notes for staff.
- Players and parents see only their clips, in a private feed they can mark reviewed.
TeamDock organizes the coaching; it doesn't host or cut your full game video. Included with every plan.

Honest scope
TeamDock is not a stats app
We want to be clear: TeamDock does not do live scorekeeping, box scores, season statistics or game streaming. If those are what you need on game day, GameChanger is built for them. What TeamDock adds is everything around the game: keeping the team communicating, organizing film notes on clips you host elsewhere, tracking each player's development, running the schedule, and giving the team a branded public page and a private hub.

GameChanger comparison FAQs
Is TeamDock a GameChanger alternative?
Not for live scorekeeping, stats or streaming, which is what GameChanger is built for and TeamDock does not do. TeamDock is an alternative for the rest of running a team: communication, a Film Room for timestamped film notes, player feedback, schedule, files and documents, photos, polls, fundraising, sponsors, an automatic branded newsletter and a public team page. Many hockey teams use GameChanger on game day and TeamDock as the season-long hub.
Can TeamDock and GameChanger be used together?
Yes. They focus on different jobs, so it is common to keep GameChanger for live game stats and use TeamDock for film notes, player feedback, communication and the schedule. There is nothing to sync or manage between them.
