How to connect a Fantrax league
Public and private leagues, through Fantrax’s official API. See Fantrax hockey projections for points-league and position-specific scoring details.
Step 1: Create a free account
Sign up with your email in under a minute. No card, no trial clock.
Step 2: Open League settings
Go to Settings › Leagues and choose Fantrax.
Step 3: Paste your league URL or ID
Copy the address of any page in your Fantrax league, or just the league ID, and paste it in. Public and private leagues both work.
Step 4: Pick your team
Choose your team from the list. Your roster, scoring settings and schedule load, and the weekly dashboard is ready.
How to connect an ESPN league
Public leagues need only the league ID. Private leagues also need your espn_s2 and SWID cookies; this guide shows how to find espn_s2 and SWID. They are stored encrypted and used only to read your league.
Step 1: Create a free account
Sign up with your email in under a minute. No card, no trial clock.
Step 2: Open League settings
Go to Settings › Leagues and choose ESPN.
Step 3: Paste your league URL or ID
Copy your league’s address from ESPN (it contains leagueId=…) or just the number. A public league connects with that alone.
Step 4: Private league? Add two cookies
Paste your espn_s2 and SWID values. They are stored encrypted and used only to read your league.
Step 5: Pick your team
Choose your team, and the weekly dashboard fills in with your roster, matchup and projections.
Yahoo fantasy hockey sync is paused
Yahoo paused third-party API access in July 2026, so Yahoo league sync is temporarily unavailable. Our free tools and projections still work for Yahoo managers, and we will reconnect Yahoo leagues if access returns.
In the meantime, the free fantasy hockey tools and today’s fantasy hockey projections work for any league.
What the matchup analyzer shows
The same weekly dashboard on every supported platform, scored with your league’s settings.
Your roster, with this week’s games
Every player on your team with the games he plays this week, so empty nights and crowded nights are obvious at a glance.
The current matchup
Your opponent this week, side by side with your team, read straight from your league.
End-of-week projections
Projected category totals for head-to-head categories leagues, or projected fantasy points for points leagues, scored with your league’s own settings.
Win probability
A win chance for every category and an overall chance to take the matchup, updated as the week plays out.
Lineup and schedule optimizer
Fit the most games into your active slots and see where a pickup or a swap adds starts before the week runs out.
Free, with no paywall
Connecting a league and every dashboard feature is free right now. Create an account and you are in.
How fantasy hockey matchups are projected
Each player’s per-game rates come from his production, blended across the current and previous seasons, and are multiplied by the games he has left on the NHL schedule this week.
The optimizer then fills your active lineup slots night by night, so only games you can actually start count toward your projected totals.
Those totals are scored with your league’s own settings: projected category totals in a categories league, projected fantasy points in a points league. The projected margin in each category becomes a win chance for that category, and the categories combine into your overall chance to win the week.

Fantasy hockey league sync FAQ
Which fantasy hockey platforms can I connect?
Fantrax and ESPN. Yahoo league sync is temporarily unavailable because Yahoo paused third-party API access in July 2026.
Is there a free fantasy hockey matchup analyzer?
Yes. Connect a Fantrax or ESPN league to Edgehalla and the weekly dashboard projects your matchup, gives a win chance for every category and the overall result, and helps you fit more games into your lineup. It is free right now.
How are fantasy hockey matchups projected?
Each player’s per-game rates are multiplied by the games he has left this week, only games you can fit into your active slots count, and the totals are scored with your league’s settings. The projected margin in each category becomes a win chance.
Does it work for categories and points leagues?
Yes. Head-to-head categories leagues get projected category totals and a win chance per category; points leagues get projected fantasy points. Fantrax position-specific points are supported too.
Can Edgehalla set my lineup?
No. Edgehalla only reads your league to build projections and recommendations. You make lineup moves on Fantrax or ESPN yourself.
Can I still sync a Yahoo fantasy hockey league?
Not right now. Yahoo paused third-party API access in July 2026, so Yahoo leagues cannot be synced. Yahoo managers can still use every free tool and projection on the site.
Is there Sleeper fantasy hockey?
No. Sleeper does not offer fantasy hockey, so there are no Sleeper hockey leagues to connect.
Do I need an Edgehalla account to connect a league?
Yes. Create a free account, then connect your league in Settings › Leagues. Our projections, starting goalies and planning tools stay open without an account.
