Hockey pool A hockey pool is a variant of ice hockey in which the participants ( called " owners " ) each draft or acquire a team of real - life NHL players and then score points based on those players ' statistical performance on the ice . It is a simpler and less involved version of fantasy hockey . How to Play . While each pool generally maintains its own rules and regulations , usually defined by the contestants themselves , there are a few constants . Generally , each participant in a pool selects a team of players drawn from current pros . Throughout the season , their statistics are tracked , and the pool winner is the person whose team has the most points at the end of the season . Scoring . The most common scoring scheme is simply : Some pools offer additional scoring based on the player ' s position ( such as points for a goaltender victory ) or skill level ( such as points for penalties earned by an enforcer ) . Other pools have much higher levels of complexity , taking into account defensive statistics and + / - . When management of the participant ' s roster is required ( i . e . , activating certain players ) , this type of pool is often referred to as " fantasy hockey " . Types of Games . There are two basic kinds of hockey pools : " draft " and " non - draft " . In a draft pool , no player can be held by more than one participant . All of the pool participants take turns drafting their players . ( The drafts are usually held in serpentine fashion ; that is , the team picking first in the odd rounds will pick last in the even rounds . ) This type of pool requires considerable in - depth knowledge of players beyond the top tier of NHL stars . In a non - draft pool , everyone simply picks a set number of players . Thus , multiple participants can have the same player among their set roster . One variant of a non - draft pool is a " box - style " pool , where players of a similar caliber ( i . e . , forward s , defensemen , superstars , rookie s , goaltender s ) are grouped together and a fixed number of players are selected from each group or box . A hockey pool can also be played using the NHL playoffs , Olympics , World Cup or World Championship tournaments . These pools are extremely popular as they are much shorter in length . Running a hockey pool . For a typical hockey pool , there are hundreds of statistical updates occurring every night . Updating statistics accurately and on a timely basis is usually handled by hockey pool software or via an online hockey pool manager .
