Pointstreak is a new, fully automated scorekeeping and stats system that has been recently purchased by the Ice Den.  It eliminates the old paper scoresheets as scorekeepers use the Pointstreak touchscreen to track the games.  In addition, the system generates pre-printed scoresheets based on the official league rosters approved by the league staff.  It also serves as the on-line membership tool. CAHL members simply click on their divisional link and instantly enjoy access to team and divisional schedules, standings, team records, scoring leaders and more.
