How to Play Stanley Cup Squares
Write the two team names in the header areas. Everyone claims squares with their initials. After all 100 are filled, draw digits 0 through 9 randomly for the header row and column.
After each period, match the last digit of each team's score to find the winning square. Three periods means three chances per game. Hockey scores are low, so the 0 and 1 squares come up frequently.
Squares is a great equalizer for hockey watch parties. The person who can't tell a blue line from a red line has the same odds as the lifelong fan. No hockey knowledge required.

Yes. Download and print for any NHL playoff game. No account needed.
Do I check after each period?
Yes. Three periods means three chances per game. Overtime periods can be a bonus round if your group decides.
Why are hockey scores good for squares?
Low-scoring games mean the digits cluster around 0, 1, 2, and 3. But random digit assignment keeps it fair for everyone.
