Location and Transportation 

Each NHL arena is strategically located in vibrant downtown or urban districts, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and entertainment options. Getting to the game is easy with multiple transportation and parking options available. 

Parking 

Most arenas offer several parking lots and garages within walking distance. Many fans arrive early to enjoy pre-game festivities and avoid last-minute congestion. Purchasing parking in advance is highly recommended to secure a spot close to your gate and ensure a smoother arrival experience. 

Public Transit 

Many major NHL cities, including New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., feature reliable public transportation options such as subways, light rail, and buses that drop fans near the arena. Using public transit is often the quickest and most convenient way to beat traffic on game day. 

Rideshare & Drop-Off 

Dedicated rideshare and taxi zones are available at most arenas. If you're taking Uber, Lyft, or a cab, plan your pick-up and drop-off spot ahead of time to avoid heavy post-game crowds. 

Arrival Recommendations 

To get the whole NHL experience, it's best to arrive 60–90 minutes before puck drop. This allows plenty of time for parking, security screening, and exploring the arena. Arriving early also gives you the chance to grab your favorite team's merchandise, enjoy pre-game entertainment, or watch warmups from your seat.

Game Types Throughout the Season

The NHL season offers fans nonstop excitement, from early exhibition matchups to the crowning of the Stanley Cup champion. Each part of the season carries its own energy, purpose, and importance — making every game a thrilling experience for hockey fans.

Preseason Games:
Preseason games are played before the official start of the regular season, giving teams a chance to evaluate prospects, new signings, and line combinations. While the results don't count toward the standings, these matchups are perfect for fans who want to see rising talent and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere.

Regular Season Games:
Running from October through April, the NHL regular season features 82 games per team — 41 home and 41 away. Every matchup contributes to playoff qualification, as teams compete to earn points and climb the standings. Regular-season games are filled with intensity, rivalries, and memorable moments that can define an entire season.

Rivalry Games:
Some games stand out for their history and passion. Iconic rivalries like the "Original Six" matchups — Toronto vs. Montreal or Chicago vs. Detroit — as well as regional clashes like the "Battle of Alberta" (Calgary Flames vs. Edmonton Oilers) or "Battle of Pennsylvania" (Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers), bring extra energy to the ice. These games are often fan favorites and sell out quickly.

Playoff Games:
When the regular season ends, the chase for the Stanley Cup begins. The top 16 teams enter the Stanley Cup Playoffs — a four-round, best-of-seven elimination tournament. The intensity skyrockets with every goal, save, and shift, each holding the potential to swing a series. Playoff hockey is known for its unmatched drama and emotion.

Stanley Cup Final:
The season culminates with the Stanley Cup Final — where the Eastern and Western Conference champions face off for hockey's most prestigious prize. From unforgettable overtime winners to legendary goaltending performances, the Stanley Cup Final represents the peak of NHL excitement and tradition.

Experience the NHL Live 

Whether you're watching a regular-season showdown or the intensity of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, nothing compares to seeing NHL action live. Feel the roar of the crowd, the clash of sticks, and the energy that fills every arena across North America.
