Big update for team captains and admins: approve new players, create and edit events, and manage tournament game schedules right from your phone — no laptop needed. Roster boards now support multiple goalie slots per team (starter and backup by default). Events show separate Event Website and Hotel Website links so tournament players can jump straight to registration or book their room in one tap. Roster planning got smarter — the Interested list now shows each player's jersey number and jersey colors, so captains can spot number collisions and balance teams by available gear at a glance. Behind the scenes: league game events are now restricted to team channel members for privacy, the app icon badge count actually clears when you open the app, and every profile now captures phone, location, positions, skill level, military status, and T-shirt size to help with rosters, comms, and tournament apparel orders. Existing players will see a quick 'complete your profile' prompt on next sign-in — non-military players can pick 'Civilian' for military status. Plus a bunch of small polish across events, chat, and admin.
