NHL Hockey Survivor Pool

How the NHL Survivor Pool Works

  • Each week, members pick one NHL team from the Saturday games.

  • If their selected team wins, they survive to play another week.

  • If the team loses, they’re eliminated from the pool.

  • The objective? Be the last member standing by the end of the season.


Pool Customization Options

Pool commissioners have several flexible settings to tailor the experience:

  • Pick to Win (traditional Survivor) or Pick to Lose (Loser Pool)

  • Allow multiple entries per member or limit to one

  • Choose your preferred start week

  • Enable automatic pick assignments for members who forget to submit

  • Add Mulligans—allowing one-time revivals for incorrect picks

  • And more...
