NHL Arenas

Every NHL rink

Thirty-two arenas in two countries — the only big-four list that requires a passport. The seven Canadian buildings are the heart of it: Montreal's Bell Centre, the largest arena in the league and the loudest; Toronto's Scotiabank Arena; Edmonton's Rogers Place; and the small-market shrines in Winnipeg, Calgary, Ottawa, and Vancouver. For American fans the Canadian trip is the main event of the tour, and a lot of people save it for a single week of consecutive games.

Expansion has kept the list growing. Vegas arrived in 2017 and Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena — the old KeyArena, rebuilt under its original roof — in 2021. The Coyotes left Arizona for Utah in 2024, so Salt Lake City's Delta Center is now a hockey building too. Several rinks are shared with NBA teams, which makes a lot of the list cheaper to do in a single trip.

Using the map

Because seven arenas sit north of where a standard US map ends, this one draws the US and Canada together and frames the rinks themselves. Codes follow the team, so a relocation carries your tick to the new city; arena names update with the sponsors. Click a badge or its pin to mark an arena visited, again for want-to-go. If you're doing the basketball buildings too, the NBA map shares eleven of them.

The Canadian week

The most common way to do the Canadian rinks is one trip in two halves: Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal are all within a few hours by train and can be done in four days with the right schedule, and the western four — Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver — are a flight apart. Edmonton's Rogers Place and Calgary's new Scotia Place, replacing the Saddledome, are the newest buildings; Winnipeg's Canada Life Centre is the smallest in the league and the hardest ticket. Montreal's Bell Centre on a Saturday night, with Hockey Night in Canada in the building, is the single game on the tour most worth organizing a trip around.
