Title: iPhone app?
Post by: ganderson on October 19, 2009, 07:37:27 PM
I've been looking, but not yet found ANY iPhone app provides any NCAA Ice Hockey info.  We're a bunch of geeks who like hockey, right?  Does anyone either know of anything or feel motivated to make something that mines info out of USCHO or GameTracker or whatever and puts it on my damn phone?  

Please help.

GO RED!

I might be able to make one. What would you want it to do, if one existed?

Cowbell.  Bonus points if you can incorporate the iPhone's accelerometer so that one could play a virtual cowbell by shaking the phone.

Some of our "peeps" are also working on an iPhone app :) -- and other stuff in development.

ESPN Scorecenter (app) now allows NCAA hockey as a sport choice.  But as far as I can see there is no Cornell hockey as a favorite team option.  CU football is an option.

The ESPN Scorecenter NCAA Hockey option was totally added since I posted my question (because that's one of the apps I tried before getting frustrated.

Basically I'd settle for real(ish) time score updates.  But the ultimate would be a gametracker-like feature that gives a little bit of play by play plus some interactive statistics.  

Many thanks to ESPN for implementing something.  And I look forward to seeing Mr. Wodon's team's iPhone app.

P.S.  There is a cowbell app.  But it's disappointing because it's refresh time is slow enough that you can't hit it fast enough to play the proper cadence.

When checking the ESPN app during the Michigan - Niagara game this week it was not even close to being updated in real time.
