Why PuckPool exists
A hockey pool is one of the best parts of a season with friends or coworkers. Keeping one running is not: somebody ends up updating a spreadsheet from box scores, answering “am I winning?” and settling arguments about the rules.
PuckPool takes that job off the commissioner’s plate. It keeps the rosters, scores every game from real NHL stats, updates the standings during games and gives the group a place to talk about it, so everyone, the commissioner included, can just enjoy the hockey.
Where things stand
PuckPool is new and still being built. Free while we’re building. There are no tiers, no ads and no paywall. Features arrive when they are ready, and the rules pages on this site describe only what works today.
What PuckPool is not
- Not a betting site: it never takes payments, holds money or pays out prizes.
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by the NHL or any team.
- Not a place to see the games themselves: it keeps score of your pool.
