Starting today, March 26, and for the next three weeks (Thursday through Sunday), you can compete for your favorite club in the league and win great prizes for yourself while also vying to secure the first-place prize for your club—25,000 kronor!
Pocket Hockey is, of course, the arcade-style mobile hockey game from Swedish developer Gold Town Games, where we’ve hosted the SHL Challenge twice before, giving everyone the chance during the season to see how their favorite team would perform in the regular season compared to the actual results (it’s still going on if you missed it!) and featured a special mode during our SHL Impact Tour. But now it’s time for the third edition of the SHL Challenge!
Competition Weeks
• Week 1: March 26–March 29
• Week 2: April 2–5
• Week 3: April 9–12
Wins Now Earn Points
One difference compared to previous editions of the SHL Challenge is that games now generate points instead of just a “1” in the column for a win. Just like in the regular SHL, a win in regulation now earns three points, an overtime win earns two points, an overtime loss earns one point, and, yes, a loss in regulation earns no points at all.
The more points you collect for your favorite team, the higher they’ll climb in the standings! And of course, you can also compete individually against other players to see who performs the best—with in-game rewards awaiting the top performers, of course.
Contest Prizes
If you play at least five matches in the SHL Challenge, you’ll be in the running to win great prizes!
• Game jerseys
• Scarves
• 0-100 SHL 50th Anniversary Game
Contest winners will be contacted directly via the email address provided during registration after the SHL Challenge concludes, during Week 16.
Who will win?
Previous winners of the SHL Challenge are Brynäs and Färjestad—can they claim a second title, or is it time for someone else to take the crown? Follow the battle to see which players and clubs perform best—either directly in the game or via the SHL’s dedicated gaming channels, eSHL, on platforms like Instagram or TikTok, as well as in our special section on SHL.se.
