Win your ESPN fantasy hockey league, night by night.
Benchwise reads your ESPN league, points or categories, and tells you who to start each night, which free agents beat your bench, and how your matchup is shaping up. Every projection uses your league's own scoring.

Questions
Which leagues does it work with?
ESPN fantasy hockey: head-to-head points, each category and most categories. Projections follow your league's own point values or categories.
Is my ESPN login safe?
Benchwise never sees your ESPN password. It stores only the two ESPN session cookies needed to read your league, encrypted, and you can unlink a league any time.
Does it work with private leagues?
Yes. That's what the extension is for: it passes your ESPN session to Benchwise when you click Connect.
Is Benchwise part of ESPN or the NHL?
No. It's an independent site and isn't affiliated with ESPN or the NHL.
