Free NHL Playoff Box Pools – 2023

Dobber

2023-04-12

Here is Dobber's annual printable box pool setup for you and your friends.

The 17th annual DobberHockey Interactive Playoff Draft List is now available for download. I'll be updating it five or six times before the playoffs start, keeping the player notes – and there are lots of notes – current. You can run multiple scenarios and sort in multiple ways. I generally run two scenarios and head into the draft with both. Then I run with whichever list I get a jump on the top players early and by the third round I discard the other list. Besides running your own scenario, I also include my own picks. You can pick up the (winning) Draft List – here!

(Hey, do you like the NHL’s Free Bracket Challenge? Join the DobberHockey League here!)

Every year when I finish analyzing and putting together my Playoff Draft List (again – buy it here), I sort and move around similar players until I have 28 boxes. Six players per box. Printable on one page. So this is simple. You are at work or with your friends. You want to do a hockey pool but everyone around you are just casual fans. Solution? Box pool. Throw in ten bucks each or whatever. Print off my free page. Everyone ticks off a box and puts their name on it – hands it in. Tally the points at the end of the postseason and you have your winner. I did all the work for you.

It’s time to start getting pumped up for the far-too-long delayed start of the NHL playoffs. Get your friends and colleagues involved by firing them this template and picking their players now!

    Pittsburgh players included but not in playoffs?

      The file was updated this morning replacing the PIT players. Re-download?

    Hey Dobber – appreciate you doing this every year. Just have a quick question. Printed off the file here from your link and noticed some of my Pens are included in the boxes? I know it’s usually an annual event for us to join, but not this year. Just trying to understand why they’re included?

    Think I saw Sid, Geno, Guentzel, Tanger… there should not be players from teams not in the playoffs, correct?

    Thank you, have a good one and enjoy the playoffs!

      I had updated this in the morning, but for some users they may have needed to clear cache first before re-downloading. So to eliminate the need to do that, I changed the file name and re-posted again. Should be all good now!
