Our Story

Built for Hockey Families,
by a Hockey Family

My name is Tyler Giesbrecht. I'm a Calgary dad who has coached both of my boys in hockey — Lincoln for 8 seasons, Levi for 5. I've been on the ice with them every year, watching them grow from barely-skating kids into real players.

And somehow, I was still losing the memories. When I went back to find photos from Lincoln's first season, I couldn't piece it together. Camera rolls, group chats, fading recollections. The games were gone. I built Playbook Memories so that doesn't happen to your family.

Your camera roll is where memories go to be forgotten. We're changing that.

Because Every Season Tells a Story

Playbook Memories is a private platform for youth sports families — and teams. We combine season timelines, game logging, peer recognition, mood tracking, social feeds, and a season Memory Book into one app that captures your athlete's entire season.

We're not a scheduling tool, not a live scoring app, and not social media. We're the place where your athlete's season lives forever.

Coming soon for every sport. My daughter Emma competes in swimming and Tae-kwon-do. Playbook is being built to capture every athlete's season — not just hockey.

What Makes Us Different

The Physical Moat

Your digital Memory Book and PDF are included with every Season Pass. Optional softcover and hardcover printing opens at season end.

Peer Recognition

The only youth sports app where athletes nominate each other for character badges. It teaches sportsmanship and empathy.

Private & Family-Safe

No public profiles, no strangers, no algorithm. Just your family and your athlete's teammates. The way it should be.

Extended Family First

Built for grandparents from day one, not as an afterthought. Grandma gets every game, badge, and photo automatically.

Made in Calgary

Playbook Memories started in our own Calgary hockey community — and it's built for hockey families everywhere. From local rinks to tournament weekends, we understand the rhythm of a hockey season because we live it.
