What is Sports Bench?
Sports Bench is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily turn your website into a hockey website. You can add in teams, players, games and even playoff brackets and the plugin does the rest for you. You can show off cool scoreboards, standings, stats and so much more. It works with any theme but you can purchase the theme as well to get going in just minutes.
Turn your website into a hockey website
Sports Bench helps you turn your WordPress website into a hockey website with just a few clicks of the mouse. Whether this website is for a hockey league that you’re covering or a website for your local hockey league, you can easily turn your website into the place to go for all of the information.
Stats and standings calculated for you
One of the great parts about Sports Bench is that it does all of the calculations for you. Simply add in players, teams and games, and Sports Bench will calculate the standings and stats for you. There’s no extra math involved to figure out goals against average or ice time. You don’t have to do anything else. It’s as simple as that.
Make your website look great with the theme
While Sports Bench is designed to work with any theme, if you want your league website to look the absolute best it can, you can also purchase the Sports Bench theme. It has all of the integration with the plugin built in. That means there’s no extra work you need to do to get started. Just install both and start adding players, teams and games and get going.
