LED Matrix NHL Scoreboard — Updates November 2025

Hey there, long time no post… Anyhow, I’m alive and here’s some updates on the NHL LED Scoreboard project.

Over the last month, I’ve refactored the entire solution, added new functionality, and laid the foundation to expand it to additional sports.

Here’s some of the new features:

• Installation has moved to Docker, greatly simplifying the install and setup process.
• You’ll now have the ability to set a favourite team and see that team’s next game.
• You can view standings for any combination of wildcard, division, conference, or overall.

I’ll write here more often as the project progresses. Some planned upcoming functionality includes:

• Expanding to additional sports. Current plan is to integrate the NBA in the winter, and MLB in the spring. American football is dumb, so someone else can tackle that one. Open source, hurrah!
• Add in a “leaders” scene, showing the goal/point/whatever leaders for a league.
• Create a local web app to configure settings via a GUI rather than manually editing config.yaml.

You can view all the code for this project, along with installation instructions, at my GitHub Repository here.

If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email at stephen@gidge.dev.

Cheers,
