PuckPlanner
A personalized NHL season planner that turns the 82-game release into a 30-second plan: which games are worth attending, when resale prices will drop, and a synced calendar with watch-party invites.
NHL season ticket holders and serious fans planning their year around the schedule drop
- Schedule drop analyzer that ranks every home game by opponent quality, rivalry weight, and projected resale value, then recommends which games to grab first
- Calendar sync that blocks the games you picked, adds travel time for weekday games, and flags conflicts with your work or school schedule
- Watch-party planner that suggests dates based on your friends' availability, picks a venue, and sends invites with roster storylines baked in
- Resale drop alerts that ping you when your target game hits your price on SeatGeek or StubHub
The Canucks just dropped their full 2026-27 schedule with key storylines (Quinn Hughes return, Schaefer's only visit) and NHL is expanding to 84 games — fans have more decisions to make in a shorter window than ever.
NHL 2026-27 schedule release confirmed (Sept 29 start, 1,344 games, 84-game expansion); 'oilers schedule' trend shows 1000+ CA searches, but niche is narrow — serious season ticket planners, not all fans.NHL releases 2026-27 regular-season schedule ↗NHL releases expanded 84-game schedule for 2026-27 season ↗
TiqAssist exists but focuses on SELLING season tickets with managed pricing, not on personal attendance planning, resale-drop timing for buyers, or watch-party invites — the specific PuckPlanner bundle is unoccupied.NHL Season Ticket Resale | TiqAssist ↗Ticket Price Tracker & Drop Alerts | Event Spy ↗
TiqAssist proves season-ticket holders pay for premium tools (managed resale, 10-15% higher prices), and Event Spy monetizes price alerts, but PuckPlanner's audience is even narrower (attending fans vs sellers) and would likely need a low-priced subscription or freemium tier.TiqAssist: Sell Season Tickets on the App Store ↗NHL Season Ticket Resale | TiqAssist ↗
NHL is a stable century-old league expanding to 84 games under a new CBA, with annual schedule releases creating a recurring, predictable demand spike every summer.NHL releases 2026-27 regular-season schedule ↗
NHL schedule data is public, calendar sync is standard, but resale price-drop predictions need marketplace API access or scraping (StubHub/SeatGeek/Ticketmaster/VividSeats), and watch-party invites add social infra — non-trivial but buildable solo.
