Game schedules may be imported directly from Valley Hockey's League Page
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are hoping to still support the ical import links for the 24-25 season. However, we are awaiting a response from the Valley Hockey League on a proposal sent this summer to allow for the partnership needed to support these links.
In the meantime, while we wait to hear back, we have released support for a direct upload of the .csv schedule from VHL to your team pages. Please find directions for that here: https://help.crossbar.org/en/articles/9823675-uploading-a-valley-hockey-league-export-to-a-team-page
With the release of the 24-25 schedule making this more urgent, we strongly recommend that your organization directly contact the league, making your desire for this partnership known.
As always, with questions, please reach out to help@crossbar.org, and we're happy to share more!
About this import process:
Ice Schedulers, Coaches and Team Managers all have access to perform this task.
If a game is scheduled at the exact time of an ice slot that has been assigned to your team, that game will be added to existing ice. Otherwise it will be added as an away game. We cannot match by rink name due to the fact that rink names are entered inconsistently. If a team schedules an away game at the exact same time as a home ice slot, it will lead to an error. If this happens, the club simply needs to un-assign that ice slot to correct the problem.
