How to Schedule a Fantasy NHL Draft
Need a fantasy NHL draft date that your league can actually attend? DraftDayPlanner.com helps commissioners collect unavailable times, compare shared availability, and choose a draft window. Select NHL when you create the league calendar so its date range follows that sport's season start.
Choose a date around training camp
Hockey managers may want to see training-camp decisions, line combinations, goalie roles, and injuries before drafting. A date closer to the opening games can provide more information, but it can also be harder to coordinate. Ask the league for availability early, then choose a workable window before your fantasy platform's draft deadline.
Plan for your format
Check whether your league uses a snake or auction draft and how many roster spots and bench slots managers must fill. Give the draft enough time for goalie decisions and later-round picks without pushing a weeknight session too late for members in other time zones.
Compare the league's calendars
Create a calendar with NHL selected and share the invite link. Each manager marks times they cannot draft. Use the Shared calendar to compare possible dates; if one manager conflicts with the best window, contact that person before settling on it. Do not assume an unsubmitted calendar means the manager is available.
Confirm in one place
Once everyone agrees, set the draft time in your fantasy hockey platform and send a confirmation that includes the time zone. DraftDayPlanner.com is the scheduling tool, not the draft room.
