When the hockey world went dark in 2024, this company cranked up its lights
PuckPedia wasn’t always the go-to site for most hockey fans. Now, they wonder how they ever lived without it.
The hockey world faced a crisis in 2024 when the Washington Capitals poached the team behind a crucial contract information website. The Hart Trophy goes to the NHL’s most valuable player, and for some fans, PuckPedia’s founder, Hart Levine, is the MVP. Before the acquisition, PuckPedia had already existed for six years and offered a wealth of tools beyond CapFriendly, which had been the go-to resource for NHL contract information.
Levine, who had been working tirelessly to grow the site, seized the opportunity to elevate PuckPedia to a leading position in the hockey information landscape. The site quickly became the most accurate and trusted source for contract details, often receiving information directly from teams and agents before anyone else. With a focus on accuracy, Levine and his team added new features and tools, transforming PuckPedia into a comprehensive platform for fans, media, and team staff.
Today, PuckPedia offers explanations of salary cap rules, transaction trackers, agent information, GM trackers, lineup projections, organizational depth charts, scouting tools, draft information, a GM simulator, an AI assistant, and even hockey trivia games. The site has become an essential resource for anyone looking to fully immerse themselves in the NHL, providing tools that make fans feel like NHL general managers.
