Hockey Coach Dynasty
Launches 12 October 2026 · PC · Indie, Simulation, Sports
Coach your way from high-school and AAA 18U benches to the top of world hockey. Run the lines, the systems, the training and the room; answer the board; take the job that calls. A text-first career sim across 140 leagues and 2,109 clubs — and every name is yours to edit.
Story
You are the coach, not the general manager. Hockey Coach Dynasty is a text-first coaching career simulator. You build the lineup, set the systems, run training, handle the press and answer to the board — and every decision lands somewhere you can read it: in the game log, the box score, a player's journal, the assistant's weekly notes, or the letter that tells you a club has been watching. Start at the bottom. Climb the whole ladder. Begin in US high-school hockey or North American AAA 18U and work up through junior, college, semi-pro and professional hockey — 140 leagues, 2,109 clubs, 69 countries — with promotion and relegation, job offers, sackings, and summers when nobody calls. Every bench in the world has a named coach who is judged the way you are. A game night is a night of decisions. Set the lines and special teams, pick the forecheck and the defensive system, read the matchup, then coach the game live: two intermissions in the room with real adjustments and their costs, one trainer call per break, and the coach's moments — one big shot, one crease read, one fight a night where you make the read before the puck leaves the stick. Or simulate it and read the sheet. ...
