GameSheet Instructions and Important Information

Any ice event with a ref must use GameSheet or a book if there is technology issues.  If neither is available the event cannot occur.

D8 requires shots on goal count to be kept on the clock and on GameSheet/book.

  • A shot on goal is the total number of shots a player or team takes that are either goals or saves by the goalie.
  • Shots that hit the post or miss the net are not considered shots on goal. 

If GameSheet is not working for any reason - a book must be used.  When a book is used each team must provide 4 team and 4 coach stickers for each page (there are 4 pages/carbon copies). 


CGHA has 3 iPads that can be used for games and scrimmages. They are currently located in the Concession stand and you will need to leave your drivers license as a deposit when picking one up.

You can also use your own iPad if you wish.

You can down load the app from Gamesheet. Here are the instructions:

  1. If you're on an iPad running iOS 12 or newer, open the Safari app and enter the following URL: https://gamesheet.app/ipad/install.
    If you're on an older iPad running iOS 9, 10, or 11 open the Safari app and go to https://gamesheet.app/ipad/beta/install.
  2. A window will open asking you to install. Say "yes" or "install" to the prompts and then click the home button.
  3. The app will install on your home screen. Look for this icon: 
  4. If you are installing for the first time, you will need to “trust” GameSheet Inc. as an Apple Enterprise developer. To do this open the Settings app on the iPad: and navigate to: Settings → General→ Device Management → GameSheet Inc → Trust
  5. GameSheet should now be installed. Tap the icon to open the app and sign in using our League's iPad Access Key.

  • USA Hockey rosters are able to be uploaded
  • Changes can be made to rosters up until game time, once a game is downloaded on the iPad, it lives there until either deleted or uploaded.
  • Make sure any coach or player suspensions and injuries are properly notated.
  • All Final GameSheet games must be signed and locked by a ref.
  • Once a game is finalized by the refs, upload the game.
  • If a game is not-uploaded, it will remain on the iPad it was scored on.

Missing a Game?

If you are missing a league game, check the iPad used if a home game. If an away game, reach out to the visitor team first. If game is still missing, reach out to Kate or Dave.

Game Sheet Corrections

If there is an error, or correction that needs to be made on a game that has already been scored and approved by the game refs, you will need to reach out to Dave Weimer to make those changes. Do not unlock a game that has already been locked.
