BetterPuck: Pickup Hockey

BetterPuck is the app for organized pickup hockey on demand. Play solo, with a group, or fully private games. We guarantee two goalies and a ref.

Queue for Matchmaking and we'll build your game. Just tell us when, where, and who you want to play with, we make it easy to coordinate with friends.

RISK FREE
You don’t have to rent ice or collect any money. We handle all of it.

MATCHMAKING WITH FRIENDS
Set your availability windows on the calendar. Then, your friends pick their availability within those windows. Once enough players, goalies, and a ref are locked in, we confirm your game.

GAME GUARANTEE
Each game has a ref and two goalies or everyone gets their game credits back to play again.

PACE LEVELS
Five skill tiers keep games fair, from to former junior, college, and pro players.

PAY PER GAME
No commitment required. You only pay for games you actually play.

GAME TYPES
Public Casual Games (Paces 1-3)
Public Competitive Games (Paces 3-5)
Private Games (Organizers play free)

GOALIES AND REFS GET PAID
Goalies earn $50 per game. Refs earn a $75 base rate plus bonuses (up to $101 total). Both set their own availability and join games on their own schedule.

Currently live across the GTA, including a municipal partnership with the City of Brampton, with more rinks coming.

BetterPuck is for all players 18 and up.
