Prestidig - welcome to the MADNESS that is MadJacks...
You had better beware - this place can be addicting...:nono:
As to handicapping - it takes time and knowing the teams...you can learn a lot about betting hockey by following some of the posters in the hockey forum - look at the top 10 or so in POD thread. And in general good wagering info is available from many of the guys such as Investment Exec, Nolan Dalla, Nick Douglas, Tiger and many others who are all excellent cappers...
Just be judicious and don't start betting hockey for real till you get a feel for it. Make some imaginary plays for a while, as you can do at some of the internet wagering sites, and see how you can do with their play money first...
Personally, unless you are planning on doing this full-time, all the info you need about teams, the league, injuries, etc, is available readily on the net - check out the resources here on the main page...and I don't think you need any software for that purpose.
Good Luck....IP
