Who gets the top line, and who plays in goal? The app's page on this site for 84-0 Hockey Draft & GM Manager names exactly that audience — "hockey fans who like arguing about line combinations" — and Reign Creative LLC would like to put the game in front of more of them through fan communities and sports media. We are also open to publishing deals and to acquisition.
Six skaters' worth of argument
The draft is compact. You fill a starting six — centre, left wing, right wing, two defence slots and a goaltender — then choose the coach who ties it together. The listing says ratings are only part of the job: the game rewards balance between scoring and defence and punishes thin spots. When the last pick is in, a simulator projects a complete 84-game regular-season record. Most rosters land short of perfect, which the app's page calls "rather the point".
Two rulesets shape the draft. Unlimited Draft keeps searching for the right combination; Limited Draft is one pass with zero refreshes. Franchise GM Mode stretches a single draft into a multi-season project, organising forwards, defenders and goaltending and shoring up weak positions. Quizzes, timed challenges, roster-building tasks, achievements and player comparisons fill in around it. You do not play the games; records are projections.
The app is free to download, carries ads and has optional in-app purchases. The consumer explanation is in the hockey draft and GM guide, and the store details are on the app page.
Formats for hockey fan communities
A community partner could build on what is already in the game:
- One-pass draft nights using Limited Draft, where nobody gets a refresh and the projected records settle the argument.
- Line debates, pairing a draft with the site's explainer on hockey line combinations.
- Quiz rounds from the game's quizzes and timed challenges.
- Franchise leagues, where members run multi-season GM saves and report back.
Prizes, branded events or sponsored challenges would be new arrangements, scoped together and put in writing.
A worked example for scoring a draft night: if each member's six-and-a-coach roster is judged on projected wins, and one roster projects 56 wins over 84 games, its win share is 56 ÷ 84 ≈ 0.667, or two games in three. Expressing results as a share makes rosters easy to compare across a group.
Sports media and the projected record
For a newsletter, podcast or channel, the projected record is a headline in itself: "we drafted the best six we could; here is what they projected". Media partners could also draw on topics with real-world parallels, such as expansion drafts or how the NHL salary cap works. Cross-promotion and sponsorship are both possible, provided they suit the game and its audience.
A word on the ratings
The players in the pool are drawn from real careers. The ratings beside their names, however, are this game's own estimates and not official numbers, and the app's page makes clear that no league, team, players' association or athlete is affiliated with or has endorsed or licensed it. Media partners should describe the numbers that way. Official marks or licensed statistics would require the owners' agreement.
Publishers and buyers
A publisher would be taking on a short-session title: the app page's audience list includes players who want a franchise they can run in short sessions and anyone who enjoys chasing a better projected record. That suits publishing in new regions, distribution through a sports bundle, localisation of the menus and quizzes, or co-development of fresh challenge types. It also sits naturally beside the portfolio's six other perfect-season draft games, so a buyer could look at one title, several, or the whole set.
Proposing a hockey draft collaboration
Use the inquiry form on the partnerships page or email ReignCreativeSupport@gmail.com. Who you are, what you run and what you have in mind is all a first message needs; confidential, financial and personal information should wait. A call follows if there is a fit. Discussions are nonbinding, and any partnership or sale depends on due diligence and a written agreement both sides sign.
Account readiness for an ownership change
A sale would use Google Play's process for transferring apps. Google's step three is about the accounts: both must be registered and active. In practice, Google says, the original owner must be able to sign in, and the target account's registration must be complete — if "Why can't I publish" appears in its app header, the missing information has to be resolved first. The seller then needs the target's registration transaction ID for the request. For this ad-supported app with in-app products, a payments profile on the receiving side and updated ad SDK integrations follow, and users, ratings and reviews move across with the listing.
