PENNY DEL Fantasy Manager Fantasy Manager game for Deutsche Eishockey Liga

The PENNY DEL Fantasy Manager lets ice hockey fans build their own team from the stars of all 14 PENNY DEL clubs, picking goalies, defenders and forwards for every matchday. Teams earn points based on how their players perform in real games, which turns every matchday into something fans follow with their own stake in the result. Fans can form leagues with friends and compete against other leagues, while dedicated club leagues connect users with their favorite club and bring each club’s fan base onto the platform.

The game also provides widgets that list the top users and the most picked players per club. The DEL and the clubs can embed them into their match reports and websites and adapt them to their own look and feel. This gives them fresh, data-based content for their coverage, while every widget placement also points fans back to the game and drives engagement.

Prizes are awarded for the overall ranking as well as for the regular season winner, the playoff winner and the quarterly winners, which keeps motivation high throughout the season instead of only at the end. Many prizes come from partner PENNY, such as shopping vouchers, and are combined with experiences like VIP tickets, hotel stays and behind-the-scenes tours, giving the sponsor a natural touchpoint with engaged fans. As the top prizes, such as a season ticket for 2027/28, are redeemed in the following season, the game also ties fans to the league beyond the current year.
