Not all penalties are equal. A hook 200 feet from the net late in a close game is a costly penalty; interference while killing a 2-on-1 can be an acceptable sacrifice. Tracking reveals patterns: always the same infraction, always the same situation, always in the third period.
For young players the trend is everything: going from 12 minutes a month to 4 means learning to play hard WITHOUT self-punishing, one of the most important developments there is. RinkLog logs each penalty with its length and folds it into season averages.
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.

Frequently asked questions
What does PIM mean in hockey?
Both acronyms mean the same statistic: penalty minutes, the total time a player has spent in the penalty box across a game or season. PIM is the acronym used on nearly every sheet and app; PUN is the French abbreviation of some Quebec sheets. A minor penalty is worth 2 minutes, a major 5 minutes, and a misconduct 10 minutes.
Is a high PIM total always bad?
Not necessarily. A few extra minutes from playing hard and physical is not the same as repeated undisciplined penalties late in close games. Reading PIM per 60 minutes and by penalty type tells the real story better than the raw total.
