Franchise Hockey Manager 2014 is a hockey management simulation developed by Out Of The Park Developments and released in 2014 for PC. As the latest entry in the Franchise Hockey Manager series at the time of its release, the game places players in the role of a hockey franchise manager, handling the organizational and strategic responsibilities that come with running a professional team. Gameplay focuses on the front-office side of hockey rather than on-ice action, encompassing tasks such as roster construction, trades, contract negotiations, and long-term franchise planning. The title continues the series' emphasis on depth and authenticity, catering to fans of sports management games who prefer a stat-driven, simulation-oriented experience over arcade-style play. As an indie sports sim, it represents Out Of The Park Developments' extension of their management game expertise — previously established in baseball — into the hockey genre.
