Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Fantasy Hockey?

Fantasy hockey is an online game where you create a virtual hockey team made up of real-life players. You score points based on how your players perform in actual NHL games. The goal is to pick the best team, with the right captain and alternate captain, to earn the most points and win in contests.

2. How Are Points Awarded in Fantasy Hockey?

Points are awarded based on how players perform in real matches. For example, skaters score points for goals, assists, and special plays like power-play goals or game-winners. Goalies earn points for saves, shutouts, and wins. You can find a detailed breakdown of the Balls System in the dedicated section of the app.

3. What is the Role of Captain and Alternate Captain?

The Captain earns double points, and the Alternate Captain earns 1.5X points. These selections are critical, as they can significantly boost your team's total points. Make sure to choose players who are likely to perform well in upcoming games.

4. Can I Edit My Team After Games Start?

No, once games begin, you cannot edit your team for those games. However, you can make changes before game time to ensure your players are in top form and not sitting out due to injuries or being healthy scratches.

5. Can I Join Multiple Contests for the Same Game Night?

Yes, you can join as many contests as you like for a particular game night. Each contest may have different entry fees and prize structures, so it's a good idea to enter several for more chances to win.

6. How Can I Track My Points During Games?

You can track your points live as games progress. Every action, from goals to saves, is recorded, and your total points are updated in real-time through our live scoring system.

7. What Happens If a Player Is a Healthy Scratch?

If a player you selected is not in the lineup or is injured before the game, they won't earn you points. You can make changes to your team before games start, so keep an eye on pre-game reports and morning skates.
