Twenty years ago, if you wanted to get updates on last night’s game you had to ask your buddy Glen or – god forbid – look at the newspaper. Thankfully, those days are long gone. Now you’ve got the whole world of professional hockey right at your fingertips.

Here are a few of the best apps out there for all the tips, tricks, and highlights you can handle.

Budweiser Red Lights

Have you ever wanted your very own red light? With the Budweiser Red Lights app, you’ve get all of the explosive excitement right in your pocket. The app lets you sync up with your favourite team, and whenever they score a goal, your light goes off. It’s like having a red zone in your pants.

Hockey Emojis

A little whale or a jack-o-lantern just don’t cut it when you’re trying to wordlessly convey the emotions brought on during a third overtime. With Hockey Emojis by Budweiser, you’ll never have to settle for an airplane or a winking cartoon lady again.

Yahoo Fantasy Sports

The Yahoo Fantasy Sports app takes all the grunt work out of managing your fantasy teams. You can switch back and forth between different teams and different sports on the fly, check in on other managers in the message boards, and get your up-to-date information, game-by-game, and day-by-day. It’s the fantasy sports your always fantasized about.

This app is one of the best out there. Get push notifications whenever your favourite player makes a scoring play or is in the headlines.
