Pick a hockey team at random

Use this wheel to settle the team in a console hockey game, to choose a jersey for game night, or to choose a club to follow when your own team is out of the playoff race. Every franchise has the same odds, and because the winner is picked before the wheel spins, the result cannot be nudged.

For a tournament with friends, give everyone a spin and then play a single-elimination bracket. A rule that keeps the fun going is that the winner of each match spins again for a new team, so nobody rides one strong roster all night.

Keeping the list current

The league has added teams in recent years, and teams occasionally relocate or rebrand. If the list is out of date, edit the entries to match the current season. Saving your edited wheel under My wheels means you only need to do it once.
