All 32 NHL clubs by division and conference, with Stanley Cup counts. Draft franchises for a playoff pool or a full-season pick-em.

## NHL Franchise Draft Board

A hockey playoff pool lives or dies on the draft being clean. Sixteen teams, a room full of people who all want the same two, and a paper list is how you end up with two people convinced they took Colorado.

The pool here is all 32 clubs with division, conference and Stanley Cup counts attached. Use the whole league for a season-long draft, or drop it to the playoff field once the bracket is set.

The board is shared state, not a screenshot. When someone takes a club it is gone on every screen at the same instant, which removes the only argument a team pool ever really has.

## Running a NHL team draft board

1. **Load the league.** All 32 NHL clubs appear with division, conference and Stanley Cup counts. Remove any club you do not want on the board before you start.
2. **Set the draft up for your pool.** Choose how many people are drafting and how many clubs each one gets, then pick snake so the order evens out across rounds.
3. **Run it before the puck drops.** Put a clock on each pick so the whole thing fits in the time you actually have — a 32-club draft takes minutes, not an evening.
4. **Share one link and draft it live.** Send the join link, set a pick clock, and everyone picks from the same board in real time. Spectators can follow along without an account, and the pick feed updates on every screen at once.

## NHL Franchise Draft Board questions

### Can I use it for a playoff pool?

Yes. Trim the board to the sixteen clubs that made it once the field is set, then draft those. The template is the starting pool, and you decide what stays on it.

### Can I draft skaters rather than clubs?

Import a CSV of players and the board runs a player draft exactly the same way. This template just saves you building the club list by hand.

### Does everyone need an account?

Only to pick. Anyone can watch a public draft as a spectator with no account, which covers everyone in the group chat who wants to see it happen.
