A typical adult hockey rink runs 12-30 teams across multiple nights (Monday A division, Wednesday B division, Friday women's, Sunday over-40, etc.). Coordinating apparel across all of those teams individually is a nightmare for the rink manager and a missed revenue opportunity for the rink. A multi-team rink merch shop centralizes all of it: every team gets its own category, the rink commissioner gets one dashboard, and the rink earns a piece of the revenue across the whole program.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many teams can run in one shop?

No technical limit. Most rinks run 12-30 teams comfortably. Each team gets its own product category in the same shop.

Can each team have its own captain manage their category?

The commissioner owns the shop; team captains share their category link with their roster. Captains don't need their own account.

How does the rink receive revenue?

Payouts go to the rink's commissioner account on the standard payout schedule. Margin can be applied across all categories or per-category.

Should the rink charge teams to be in the shop?

Most rinks don't charge a fee; the rink keeps the margin on apparel sold. Some rinks pass through 50% of the margin to the team booster account.
