NHL Position Wheel (Random Hockey Position Picker)
Need a fast way to assign roles for a scrimmage, warm-up drill, or pickup game? This NHL position wheel helps you randomly choose from the four classic options: Defence, Center, Left wing, and Right wing—keeping things fair and moving.
How to use it for teams and drills
- Quick lineup roles: use one result per player, or per line, to get everyone set.
- Practice constraints: re-roll (or use weights) when a drill requires fewer of a certain role.
- Small groups: great for 2v2/3v3 where you still want clear responsibilities.
Customize your wheel in seconds
Click Edit to tailor the wheel to your session:
- Rename items to match your coaching language (e.g., “D” vs “Defence”)
- Add or remove options for your format
- Adjust weights to balance how often each role appears
Make it fair with elimination mode + sharing
Want to avoid the same position showing up repeatedly? Enable elimination mode to cycle through results without repeats until the wheel resets. When you’re happy with your setup, share the URL so your whole group uses the same wheel.
