Hockey Line vs My League Hero
My League Hero is the closest feature match on this list — a real league-management SaaS. The differences come down to setup speed, pricing model, the team app, and registration.
The short answer
Both platforms take league operations seriously: divisions, scheduling, live scoring, standings, and discipline tracking. My League Hero's edge is breadth of admin tooling — online registration with waivers and payments, and role-based access for refs and scorekeepers. Hockey Line Leagues' edge is the experience around the operations: AI that sets up a season in minutes, a genuinely polished free mobile app with line management and player cards, flat rink pricing with unlimited leagues, concierge onboarding on annual plans, and an agent API. If registration money-flow inside the platform is non-negotiable, My League Hero has it today. Otherwise we think the day-to-day is nicer here.
Choose Hockey Line Leagues if…
- You want the fastest setup in the category — describe your league in plain English and the AI builds it.
- Your teams deserve a first-class free app: schedules, live scores, lines, and player hockey cards.
- You want flat rink pricing with unlimited leagues rather than tiered or per-league costs.
- You want concierge onboarding — on annual plans our team builds your first season with you.
- You want to automate league operations via REST API, MCP endpoint, or CLI.
Choose My League Hero if…
- You need online registration with waivers and fee collection before teams are formed.
- You need granular roles for referees and scorekeepers with scheduling constraints.
- You want offline-tolerant scorekeeping at rinks with weak Wi-Fi.
- Your league's workflow is built around a player pool assigned to teams after signup.
Pricing compared
Hockey Line Leagues: $150/month flat (or $105/month billed annually, which includes concierge setup) for unlimited leagues and teams; Starter at $20/month for a single small league. Players never pay.
My League Hero: league-management SaaS with pricing that varies by league size and modules — partially flat, but check current tiers for your team count.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Hockey Line Leagues and My League Hero?
Feature sets overlap more than any other pair on our comparison page. My League Hero adds registration/waivers/payments and ref/scorekeeper roles; Hockey Line Leagues adds AI season setup, a stronger free team app (lines, player cards), flat rink pricing with unlimited leagues, concierge onboarding, and an API for AI agents.
Does Hockey Line Leagues handle registration and payments like My League Hero?
No — Hockey Line Leagues doesn't process player registration or league fees today. Organizers collect fees however they already do (many use e-transfer or their rink's POS). If in-platform registration is essential, My League Hero or BenchApp fit better for now.
Which is cheaper for a multi-league rink?
Hockey Line Leagues charges one flat rate — $150/month (or $105/month billed annually) — no matter how many leagues or teams you run, which is predictable for rinks running adult, youth, and in-house leagues simultaneously. My League Hero's cost depends on its current tiers for your size, so compare against your actual team count.
How do I switch from My League Hero to Hockey Line Leagues?
