At Puck Masters, every action on the ice matters.
The Balls System is how your players earn (or lose) points based on their real-life performances. Whether it's a goal, a blocked shot, or even time spent on the ice, everything counts toward your total score.
How It Works
Each time your players take part in a real hockey game, their actions translate into Balls. Offensive plays like goals and assists add Balls, while mistakes or penalties can take them away. The key to success is choosing players who can consistently rack up Balls across different categories.

Why It Matters
A well-balanced team will have players earning Balls in different ways.

Understanding how the Balls System works will give you the edge over your competition.
