Hockey Scoreboards

HK models employ three LED digit colors (red, amber and green) to clearly differentiate and organize time, score and player information with extreme clarity from any seat in the house. And they’re available in a wide selection of models that you can custom configure with electronic team names, a shot on goal display, player penalty times, and sponsorship and team logo panels.

Your Best New Teammate

Our range of hockey scoreboards are the perfect solution for all types of venues. No matter what level of play you host — from pee-wees to the pros — these electronic hockey scoreboards keep everyone informed about the action on the ice or on the field. Our LED hockey scoreboards feature longer-lasting components than those using alternative scoreboards; they also consume less power.

In addition to tracking the score, the game clock and the period, we offer ice hockey scoreboards that include penalty information, shots on goal, player numbers and more. You’ll also find controllers and software options to help operate your new board.

With a wide selection of colors for the board and the trim, you can make sure these fit into your team or school identity. Adding one of our LED display boards means you can have full multimedia capabilities for replays, public service announcements, sponsored messages and more. Our indoor and outdoor hockey scoreboards also give you the flexibility to host other sports such as soccer, lacrosse and others.

Find the Right Hockey Scoreboard for Your Rink

Finding the right hockey scoreboard for sale starts with the facility itself. A scoreboard for a school or community rink may have different visibility and installation requirements than one designed for a college arena or larger competitive venue. Rink dimensions, spectator seating, viewing distance, and level of competition can all influence the right configuration.

Fair-Play offers hockey scoreboards for schools, athletic departments, colleges, municipalities and other sports organizations. When comparing options, consider what spectators and participants need to see, where they will be positioned, and how the scoreboard will fit within the existing rink.

Match Your Scoreboard to Your Facility

There is no single scoreboard size that works for every hockey rink. A smaller facility with seating concentrated along one side may have different needs than an arena with spectators surrounding the ice. Available wall space, viewing angles, and the distance between the scoreboard and the farthest seats should all factor into the decision.

Buyers should also consider how the facility may change over time. If a rink renovation, seating expansion or display upgrade is planned, accounting for those changes now can help determine whether the selected ice hockey scoreboard will continue to meet the facility’s needs.

Wall-Mounted vs. Center-Hung Hockey Scoreboards

Placement is another important consideration. Wall-mounted hockey scoreboards can provide a direct view of game information when seating and rink layouts offer good sightlines to one or both ends of the facility. The available mounting area and distance from spectators can help determine the appropriate dimensions.

Larger arenas may benefit from center-hung or multi-sided display configurations that provide viewing angles from several seating areas. These installations require additional planning for mounting, structural support and positioning. Before selecting a configuration, facility managers should evaluate sightlines from throughout the venue rather than choosing an LED hockey scoreboard based on dimensions alone.

What to Consider Before Buying a Hockey Scoreboard

Start by identifying the available installation space and the longest expected viewing distances. From there, consider the level of competition hosted at the rink, operator location and how the scoreboard will fit into existing facility systems. If your level of play requires detailed penalty information, a hockey scoreboard with penalty timers can help keep players, officials and spectators informed throughout the game. Athletic directors and facility managers should also account for environmental conditions within the rink when discussing equipment and installation requirements.

Planning for future needs can be valuable as well. A school or municipality renovating its athletic facilities may want to account for planned improvements when selecting a new scoreboard rather than evaluating the purchase as an isolated project.

Plan for Installation and Long-Term Support

Scoreboard installation involves more than choosing a location on the wall. Power availability, mounting requirements, structural conditions and control locations should be reviewed before the equipment is ordered. For renovations, the facility team should also determine whether existing infrastructure can support the planned installation or needs to be updated.

Fair-Play’s nationwide dealer network gives organizations access to local assistance when planning a scoreboard project. Working with an authorized dealer can help buyers evaluate their facility, determine appropriate equipment and coordinate installation and service requirements.

What Affects Hockey Scoreboard Pricing?

The cost of a hockey scoreboard depends on the scope of the project rather than one standard price. Scoreboard dimensions, configuration, selected equipment, customization and installation requirements can all affect the final investment. Structural or electrical work required at the facility may also influence the overall project budget.

For that reason, a project-specific quote is more useful than a broad price estimate. Schools, municipalities and athletic organizations can work with a Fair-Play dealer to identify their requirements and develop a solution suited to the venue and available budget.
