Run a real NHL franchise. From your phone.
You're the GM and the coach. Real rosters and real cap hits, rival GMs who remember how you treated them, free agency on July 1, the draft, and games you run from the bench.
Pick any club. Make it yours.
Start with a contender, rescue a rebuild, or build an expansion team from nothing. Your owner sets the goals for the season. Hit them and your job is safe. Miss them and other clubs might come calling, or you might be shown the door.
- Real 2026-27 rosters, contracts and no-trade clauses
- Simple mode for the big calls, Deep mode for everything
- Or hand the busywork to your Assistant GM
Trade with GMs who remember.
Every rival GM has a style: sharks, pick hoarders, win-now gamblers, deal-makers. Fleece one and he'll hold a grudge. Make a fair deal and the next call goes easier.
- Trades, retained salary, the trade deadline war room
- Cap, LTIR, buyouts, waivers, offer sheets and arbitration
- Rivalries that grow out of how you play
Survive the free agency frenzy.
Noon to 6 PM, half an hour at a time. Agents call when you're losing out. Rivals sweeten their offers. Dozens of players sign before dinner. Blink and your top target is wearing someone else's jersey.
Run the bench.
Coach any game live. Watch the play, then make the calls a real coach makes.
- Line matching, timeouts and when to pull the goalie
- Coach's challenges for offside and goalie interference
- Forecheck, offense and physical play, changed on the fly
Your lines. Your system.
Set the lines yourself or let the coach handle them. Pick a forecheck and a power play. Your head coach has a personality too, and he'll tell you when he disagrees.
Draft & develop
Scout the class, work the draft room, and follow your prospects in the minors until they're ready.

Good questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can play every part of the game for free, for as long as you like. Pro is optional.
Do I need to download anything or make an account?
No. PuckBoss runs in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Are the rosters real?
Yes: the real 2026-27 rosters, contracts and cap hits for all 32 clubs. Player ratings come from each player's recent NHL seasons. Future draft classes are generated.
How realistic is it?
The sim is tuned against real NHL numbers, so scoring, save percentages, power plays and point totals land where the league does. Stars play like stars. A goalie can still steal you a series.
Where is my league saved?
On your device, automatically. You can back up a league to a file any time and restore it on another phone or computer.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After your first visit you can play with no connection. Only JENI needs one.
