Learn about players

Check recent form, ice time (minutes), injuries, upcoming fixtures, and key stats like goals, assists, shots, blocks, power-play usage, saves (for goalies), plus/minus. Make a short list of safe picks for the next few rounds.

Quick checks:

  • Has the player started most of the last 5 games?
  • Any suspension risk or recent knocks?
  • Are the next 2–3 fixtures tough or friendly?

Build your squad

Create a balanced roster: goalies, defensemen, and forwards. Fill the required slots shown in the builder.

Budget basics: Prices vary. Don't spend everything on stars—keep room for mid-priced picks and a bench that actually plays.
4

Register and confirm

Give your team a name and join a league. Follow the rules: squad size, limit on players from one club, allowed roster mix. Press Confirm so your team is eligible to score points.

5

Set up for game day

Pick your starters, choose a captain and vice-captain, and set your bench order. Check late injury news and predicted lines before the deadline; make quick updates if needed.

Reminder: Deadlines are strict—lock your team early.
6

Follow matches and track points

Watch the games and see your points update live. After each round, review what worked and what didn't. Decide if you need transfers to fix gaps or catch players in form.

Think long-term: a steady plan beats chasing one hot night.
7

Join leagues and contests

Try different formats: public leagues, head-to-head, or private leagues with friends. Compete weekly, compare ranks, and enjoy the season story one gameweek at a time.

Improve your strategy

Look back at your captain choices, transfer timing, and budget split. Adjust your plan for the next rounds. Learn from patterns and smart moves other managers use.
