Four big buttons, a goal horn, and an announcer who calls the scorer by name. Made so a parent in a cold scoreboard booth can make Saturday morning feel like the big leagues.
PuckDJ is sponsored by hockey parents whose kids play — there are no ads, no subscriptions, no "pro" tier. If it makes your rink louder, that's the whole point. The announcer voice is generated with elevenlabs.io.
Country, city, club, division, team. Add your roster by pasting "12 Alex Smith, 7 Sam Lee…". Two minutes.
A team manager uploads the tracks and sets where each one starts — the riff, not the intro. Every parent's phone downloads them and works offline at the rink.
Tap Goal when the puck goes in; when the ref signals, pick the scorer and assists and the announcer calls it over the music.
Upload the team logo and set the colours; the board wears your jersey. Invite other parents by email so the music never depends on one person's taxi schedule.
Bring your own music. Streaming apps (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music) can't be used at a rink with no signal. Buy the tracks once — about $1.29 each on iTunes or Amazon — and they play offline with exact cue points. Check that your arena or association holds a public-performance licence (in Canada, SOCAN/Re:Sound); most do.
Keep it kind. The penalty sting is for fun. Choose sounds that razz the play, not the kid.
