The 2026-27 season is the first time every NHL team has played 84 games since 1993-94 — an all-time high of 1,344 regular-season games across the league. Whether it's your friend group chat, your family, your beer-league teammates, or the people down the hall at work, stop running your tipping competition on a spreadsheet that dies by American Thanksgiving. The Tipoff handles everything automatically — so your group keeps going from opening night to the playoff push.

Spreadsheets get forgotten. Group chats go quiet by November. Whoever's running it gets tired of updating scores by hand. The Tipoff was built for a full 84-game NHL season across 32 teams — from Original Six rivals like Toronto and Montreal to the newest playoff contenders. The engagement keeps going because the platform keeps running itself.
When game night arrives and puck drop hits, the Match Wall activates for every game your group tipped. You see your group reacting to the same goals in real time — celebrations, overtime nerves, the leaderboard shifting with every final horn. Not a generic feed. Your group, your picks, your moments.
The NHL season is 84 games across 32 teams. Every feature in The Tipoff is designed to keep your group engaged from opening night in September to the final games in April.
Every group runs on a private leaderboard — but every tipper also earns a rank on the global leaderboard alongside NHL fans from around the world. The resident hockey nerd in your beer league or your family group chat might be one of the best NHL tippers on the planet. Now you'll know.
“You beat everyone in your group chat. Now find out if you're one of the best NHL tippers in the world.”

“Our beer-league team has played together for six years and argued about the NHL just as long, but we never had a proper way to track who actually calls it right. Switched to The Tipoff for the 84-game season and it just works — results update automatically, the leaderboard runs itself, and now Tuesday practice is just an argument about who's really on top.”
The Tipoff has no connection to any gambling operator, sportsbook, or bookmaker. No gambling account needed. No ID check. Just sign up with Google.
Every “free” prediction game you've seen has a bookmaker behind it. This one doesn't.
32 teams. 84 games each. One leaderboard that runs itself all season.
