Hal: I wrote a VFP8 app that allows our team statistician the ability to record all that happens during a game (for both teams) using a touch screen Panasonic Toughbook (A Toughbook because some NHL fans make a contest out of dumping beer/soda out of the stands onto the notebook and in one instance a nacho flinging contest - no kidding!). Our statistician dumps out the liquid and continues... The app will record line changes, individual changes, penalties, faceoffs, scoring and then send the reports to the coaches in either the office or the bench when requested. No typing - it's all point and click (except for entering the rosters of the teams). It will also show complete game summaries and last shift analysis when requested. It will keep track of all the even, penalty kill and power play time by player by shift (up to 32 players per side). It will handle the shootout in the regular season and up to 7 overtime periods in the playoffs. The NHL data is not as good as our team statistician collects as their folks that collect the data are part time hockey people. Plus (IMHO) our mechanics are better. I developed a last shift comparison and a shift queue to add the time back in. For example: you can clear the ice then put players on the ice at your leisure and the times will be correct. No fudge factor but a real time computation to correct the actual ice time based on the ice clearing (players are always on the ice). Also if you clear the ice and put a player back on that was on the ice during the last shift it continues the last shift where it left off. The NHL flavor counts that as 2 shifts... I started writing the app during the lockout year (2004-2005) and tested it with the Albany River Rats (now the Lowell Devils) and finished it last Fall. I don't get to work on programming all the time as I have all the other responsibilities with the T1s, networks, phone system, scouting, our new 400 million dollar arena in Newark, blah, blah, blah, blah. Send me your email and I will send you a few screen shots if you wish. Regards,
