How it works

We host it. You run it.

The simulation engine and the curated data run on our core. Your league is a private site that talks to it with its own key — nothing to install, nothing to maintain.

Your league, kept private

A site only your invited GMs can reach. They sign in with an email code or a Google account they already have — no new account to create, and their own two-step login carries over.

No servers to run

The engine and the data live on our core. You never touch a server, a database, or a deploy. You get updates as we ship them.

Built to pro scale

Thirty-two clubs today, room to grow. Trades, line-ups, the GM Room, standings, and records — the whole league in one place.

Who loves this

You’ve always been the GM.

You’re the one who reworks the lines during intermission, who knows which prospect is worth the wait, who’d have made that trade. SIMHL hands you the room: you set the roster, work the cap, make the deals — and a season plays out from the real ratings of real careers.

The manager’s game

Lines, the cap, the deadline deal, the prospect you stash for a year — the parts of hockey most games skip are the whole point here.

A season with your friends

An invite-only league that unfolds across a full season — standings, rivalries, a race to the Cup. It rewards showing up, the way a real season does.

Your calls, simulated

You run the club; the engine plays the games from real ratings. Every win traces back to a decision you made.

Buy it, run it

$20 a team. A full 32-team league is $640 a year.

You buy the league and you run it: $20 per team, so a full 32-team league is a $640 yearly subscription. Try the first 8% of a season before you pay, rounded up: 4 games in a 40-game season and 7 in an 82-game season, counted on each team's schedule. Want a second league, starting with the GHA / SIMHL rivalry, or a third in a different era? Those are add-ons in the marketplace.

Buy a league

Comes up to $20 a franchise

A full 32-team league is a $640 yearly subscription. 2026-27, real rosters and cap, your friends in the GM chairs.

$20per team · 32 teams = $640 a year

You can try the first 8% of a season before you pay, rounded up. Buying the league opens the Minor Leagues farm-system tracker and the Hockey Pool, for the seats you subscribe to. All prices are in Canadian dollars.

Bronze1-year subscription. $640.
Silver5-year subscription. $3,200 paid up front, locked at $640 a year.

Locked tiers stay at $640 a year, whatever the league does. Your team carries its tier colour until the subscription expires. Silver members also test our baseball and football sims first, and get one free league at launch as our thanks.

  • 2026-27 rosters & salary cap
  • Trades, lines & the GM Room
  • Standings, records & real box scores

Then add a second or third league in the marketplace ↓

What a team is worth: every team starts at a base value of $20, so a full 32-team league is worth $640. That is the floor: the value can never be lower than that, and from there it can only grow. A team gains value as its GM runs it well. Placeholder rate — the full valuation model isn't built yet, and it will decide how far the value grows.

Add depth any time

DLC

Add a second league. Then a third.

Your league is the base game. More leagues are add-ons in the in-app marketplace once you've started, and each one runs on the same per-team subscription model. Leagues 2, 3, 4 and 5 are half price for the first year only. From the second year they are full price, like your first league. When the first year ends, you choose whether to continue, and you can lock the price in for 5 years too.

⚕

A second league: the GHA / SIMHL rivalry

Start in the GHA and SIMHL rivalry experience, relive the war and rewrite who wins it. Then it turns into the league you want, and you move forward on the same subscription model.

Half price the first year only: $10 a team. From year two: $20 a team.
✥

A third league: a different era

Start another league in a different era, and move forward the same way.

Half price the first year only: $10 a team. From year two: $20 a team.

Playoffs, the draft, free agency — set each one to run itself on schedule, or take the wheel and run it manually. No server, no database, nothing to maintain either way.

Your team is an asset

Teams that gain value.

Run your team well and it is worth more. Grow an audience around your league and it is worth more again. A team you have built up can be resold at its higher value.

Team valuation is in development. Details and pricing are not final.

  • Value grows with careLines, trades, call-ups and waivers feed an activity score, so an active GM builds a more valuable team over time.
  • Built for creatorsIf you have a following, you can grow the value of the teams in your league by bringing that audience in.
  • Resell itResell seats in your league to friends or anyone you choose, at any price, directly. We take no part in that payment. In-app seat sales with payouts are planned for later.
  • Proof you can shareA valuation card and a report show how a team's value moved, and why.
  • Share the renewalThe owner pays the yearly renewal. Splitting it with the other owners through the system, with a 1% value bonus, is planned for later.
  • Ways to gain prestigeWin the President’s Cup: +1%. Win the first pick overall: +1%. Win the Cup: +3%. Each trophy winner on your roster: +0.5%.

Yours to name

We build the backbone. You name the club.

Every league starts on real rosters, real cap sheets, and real schedules — the backbone every GM needs. The identity is yours: rename your club, pick its colours, make it the team your group has always wanted to run.

Team 22 — Default→Washington

Team 27 — Default→Colorado

Open seats

Buy your way into a league.

No group of your own? Commissioners can post open franchises to the public at a price they set. Claim one, sign in, and you're that club's GM for the season.

Open seats are for full private leagues in the latest season and onward.

How a sale works: the commissioner sets the price · you pay the commissioner directly · you're in the league. We take no part in the payment.
