Estrade The hockey pool, from the draft to waivers
When the puck drops. Draft night deserves better than a spreadsheet.
Estrade is a Quebec hockey pool, built as a progressive web app. A live draft (snake or lottery), a real salary cap, a TV mode, an asynchronous draft, commissioner tools, then the season: trades, waivers, and the injured reserve. Email and push alerts. Sign-in by magic link or passkey. Corporate leagues that check the email domain. Free at launch. Made in Quebec.
The app is live at estrade.signalorange.ca
Start a poolThe problem
Hockey pools still get decided in a spreadsheet, a text thread, and a group chat. The draft order gets lost, the salary cap is done by hand, and the night falls apart the moment someone steps away.
The answer
Estrade is built for the one night that matters: a snake or lottery draft, a real salary cap, and a TV mode for the projector. Then the season: trades, waivers, and the injured reserve. Sign in with a magic link or a passkey. Free at launch. Made in Quebec.
Features
A hockey pool that leaves the spreadsheet behind
Live draft
Snake or random draw, a clock per pick, and a queue. The war room shows the board and the pick in progress, on a phone or on a big screen.
TV mode
A full-screen view for the television or the basement projector. Nothing to click. The night is something you watch.
Asynchronous draft
When the night is over, the commissioner changes the pace. Each pick lasts longer, and an alert goes to the person whose turn it is.
Commissioner tools
Pick for someone who is out, undo the last pick, pause, extend the round, or reorder the pool. All of it from the war room.
The whole season
Lineups, the injured reserve, trades, waivers, and the standings. A real salary cap, with amounts written the way we write them here.
Corporate leagues
An organization can group several pools. The email domain is confirmed before registration opens for the group.
