HomePucks — follow your NHL team by competing with your friends to make the best picks. HomePucks turns your team's season into a season-long competition with the people you watch hockey with. Pick a club, gather your group, and every week you're all making picks from the same team — your team — to see who reads it best. No drafts. No waiver wire. No managing players you don't care about. Just you, your team, your friends, and a season's worth of bragging rights. How it works Each pool is built around a single NHL team. Every week, you and the other members pick seven players from that team: one from each of its four forward lines and three defense pairs. You also call the score of each of its games. The better your guys play, the more points you score. Climb the standings, defend the lead, take the pool. What's in the app - Private pools — invite your group chat, family, or coworkers with a link. - Weekly player and game picks for your team — every week is an opportunity to make the best predictions. - Game Day picks — short, prop-style calls on tonight's game that lock at puck drop and pay off the same night. - Live scoring — points update through the night as your players score, set up goals, and throw hits. - Standings & leaderboards — weekly results plus a season-long race. - Pool chat — trash talk lives where the games do, not buried in a group thread. - Push notifications — pick reminders before lock, and a heads-up when the pool is talking. - Playoff Mode — when the bracket takes over, the pool rides your team through the run. Your team not make it or get eliminated? No worries, you can switch to a backup team to follow! Why we charge for it HomePucks is built and run by an avid hockey fan, just like you. Every pool starts free. After that, the commissioner buys one Season Ticket for the whole pool: one payment for the season, not a subscription, and members never pay. That keeps the lights on: live NHL data, servers, push infrastructure, and the time to keep building. Every dollar goes back into the app. What we're spending it on: more ways to play. More game modes. More moments worth talking to your pool about. The goal is to bring your team's season to life for the people you care about, and give you new things to argue over every year. Who it's for Fans who want a game built around the team they follow. Casual fans who don't want to manage a daily lineup across the whole NHL. Anyone who's ever said "we should start a pool this year" and never quite pulled it off.
