About LiveHockey

LiveHockey is a long-standing, browser-based ice hockey management simulation that places players in absolute control of a virtual hockey franchise. Operating continuously for over two decades, the title focuses on comprehensive administrative and tactical oversight rather than active arcade gameplay. As a general manager and head coach, you steer your organization through competitive league pyramids, balancing day-to-day roster management, financial balancing, and long-term infrastructure development.

Core gameplay features center around a detailed transfer and trading market where managers buy and sell players to fit specific tactical systems. You must design and execute custom training regimens to maximize player growth, handle youth academy pipelines, and construct or expand your team’s stadium infrastructure to increase ticket sales and accommodate a passionate fan base. Matchdays pit your roster against other human-managed teams within your division, requiring careful evaluation of deep statistical breakdowns, logs, and performance metrics to tweak lines, strategies, and match adjustments. The ecosystem also features an active community forum network where managers coordinate trades, discuss strategy, and analyze league standings.

Price Info

The core game is free to play, but optional paid features are available through LH Pro and LH Credits. Purchasing LH Pro unlocks advanced, in-depth statistical tracking tools for data-focused managers and prevents accounts from being automatically deleted due to prolonged inactivity (such as extended vacations).
