If you’re a fan of high-energy, free-flowing action, you probably love NHL hockey.

From the first face-off in the preseason to the final game of the Stanley Cup Finals, the NHL offers some of the most exciting must-see live sports games around. NHL fans in the United States and Canada cheer for their favorite franchises each year, hoping they can make it to the playoffs and bring home a championship. From the Los Angeles Kings to the Boston Bruins, from the Dallas Stars to the Winnipeg Jets. No matter where you live, there is exciting NHL hockey action happening nearby, and tickets are available.

Where to Buy NHL Tickets

NHL tickets can sell out fast, but you can always rely on Event Tickets Center when you need to get to your local arena for the game. ETC has NHL tickets to every preseason, regular season, and playoff game, all the way up to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Want to find tickets to watch Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins take on their interstate rival Philadelphia Flyers this year? Or pick up last-minute seats to see the Toronto Maple Leafs go head-to-head with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the postseason? With so many must-see matchups each year, NHL fans are scrambling to get the best prices on tickets.

Want to know the best place to get cheap NHL tickets, even when the game is sold out? Event Tickets Center. When season ticket holders and box office buyers can’t get to the arena for game night, they resell their tickets on the secondary market. Event Ticket Center connects ticket resellers and buyers to facilitate third-party ticket transactions.

Because it is a resale marketplace, tickets are sometimes above face value, and industry-standard service fees may affect the final price of tickets. And while all ticket sales are final, event ticket protection is available for purchase that will cover the cost of the ticket if you can’t attend the game due to certain unavoidable circumstances. So, when you just have to get to that home-ice matchup between the Calgary Flames and the Chicago Blackhawks, or the grudge match between the Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks, ETC has you covered.

Regular Season and Playoff Hockey

Few experiences are as fast, exciting, and intense as a live NHL game. Whether you’re down by the ice in premium seating, pounding on the glass and inches from your favorite all-star players, or taking it all in from the cheap seats on the upper level, live hockey has an energy and adrenaline that’s unique. Laser slap shots, thrilling breakaways, huge body checks, and lightning-quick saves make the game of hockey worth every penny of the average ticket price. And if the action on the ice isn’t enough, the league also boasts some of the most passionate fanbases in all of sports. Supporters of teams like the Boston Bruins, the Montreal Canadiens, the Ottawa Senators, and Vancouver Canucks defend their home ice by cheering loudly for every check, fight, and goal for their team.

History of the NHL

Founded in 1917 in Canada and first expanded into the United States in 1924, the National Hockey League came from humble beginnings. The league only had six teams by 1942, known as the “original six,” but all of them are still franchises to this day. The Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, and Toronto Maple Leafs are some of North America’s most popular and successful hockey teams. Since then, the NHL has grown steadily, now including 32 teams league-wide, and while it is not quite as big as baseball, basketball, or football in the United States, it still enjoys its status as the most popular sport in Canada.
