How Hockey365 began

A LOVE OF THE GAME.
A REASON TO BUILD.

Coaching his son’s team brought Karl back to hockey and rekindled a love of the game. A conversation with his friend Ben about balancing teams sparked a simple idea: build a team generator.

Co-founded by Karl and Ben Riopelle, Hockey365 grew as their connections in the game deepened. Parents asked for off-season training. Players needed places to play. Organizers needed a hand bringing games together.

Karl also saw experienced hockey people with a gift for teaching who were looking for an opportunity to contribute. Bringing those people together became part of the purpose: more opportunity to learn, to coach and to belong.

Today, that same approach guides us—listen to the community, build useful services, and make quality hockey development more accessible.
