Privacy Policy

Last updated · May 4, 2026

RinkWire is an independent California youth hockey data layer. This page explains what information we display, where it comes from, and how to request that information be removed.

What we display

RinkWire aggregates publicly available game results, schedules, standings, and player statistics from sanctioned California youth hockey leagues, including SCAHA, NORCAL, CAHA, T1EHL, ADHSHL, SHSHL, LA Kings High School Hockey League, and PGHL. Player information is limited to:

First and last name as published by the league
Jersey number
Team affiliation and division
On-ice performance statistics (games played, goals, assists, points, penalty minutes; goalie save percentage and goals-against average)

We do not collect or display dates of birth, home addresses, contact information, school affiliations, photos, or any other personal identifiers.

Where the data comes from

All data is scraped or syndicated from publicly accessible league websites and stats pages. RinkWire is not affiliated with any of the leagues listed above. We do not receive private rosters or non-public information.

Player and parent data removal

If you are a player, parent, or legal guardian and would like a player's information removed from RinkWire, email [email protected] with the player's full name and team. We honor takedown requests promptly and do not require justification.

Children's privacy

RinkWire displays statistics for hockey players ranging from 10U through high school. Because some players are under 13, we follow conservative practices: we never collect data directly from minors, we publish only what leagues already publish, and we honor takedown requests immediately.

Cookies and analytics

RinkWire uses two privacy-respecting analytics services to count page views and understand which features parents and players find useful:

Google Analytics 4 — aggregated site usage (pages viewed, browser, country). Google sets first-party cookies (e.g. _ga) to count unique visitors.
Cloudflare Web Analytics — cookieless visit counting via a lightweight beacon.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share analytics data with third parties for advertising, do not run ads or behavioral tracking, and never combine analytics signals with the league data we publish. You can opt out of Google Analytics at any time with the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
