Ranking all 32 NHL arena's worst to best

We have ever done a post like this before, so I am very excited to do this. In all this is based on data and my opinion, so don't feel sorry if your team is last. Let's just say in areas like Vegas and Nashville, they tend to have nicer arena's because of the city and how much money it has.


#32 Arizona Coyotoes

I hate to put this arena at last, because it is one of the best places to play at in college hockey, but for an NHL arena it laks capacity, and isn't to nice of an arena for the NHL, though the Coyotoes fans like it because some games feel like a sell out and it is way louder than their last. Also to mention they couldn't afford the last arena they were in so they moved.


BGS arena number 31

Although, it is a pretty nice arena, there have been many sayings about the ice being bad.

We just had t put it at 31.


30 Canadian tire centre

It's really old and nothing special, but the fans of the Sens never want to take it down because of what it's been through.


29 SAP centre San Jose

This arena is in San Jose where hockey isn't to big of a thing, but this arena is pretty plain just like an average NHL arena. Also the Sharks are terrible this year.


28 PNC arena Carolina

Even though the Canes are pretty good and they have an awesome fan base, their arena needs worked on. It's an arena that's not old or new but just needs to be redone.


Key bank arena Buffulo 27

This arena is always loud and big, but not to nice. In fact if the Sabres keep missing the playoffs, they might move stadiums. I only saw a game here once.


26 Capital one arena DC

It's always fun going to a game in DC, so they have to have a solid arena.


25 Enterprise arena St Louis

Is a nice arena in St louis near the Arch.


24 Amalie arena Tampa

I've been there once. It's a nice arena with a huge jumbotron, and nice concessions. The arena isn't insanely big.


23 Prudential center NJ



22 FLA live arena

It''s an older, but big arena. In fact last year the all star game and skills were there. You probably know this is the home of the Panthers, and it will get very loud during certain games.


21 Little Cesars arena Detroit

the arena is awesome, and is a very historical and old landmark for hockey. Although, the Pistons also play there, I reccomend going there to see a game there sometime soon.


20 PPG paints arena Pittsburgh

Yes, finally my hometown rink. PPG is a great arena with a nice, huge, jumbotron. It's a pretty average size rink, but is a really nice rink to go to a game. The concorse is pretty nice too. They have been in this rink for about 12 years, and have already won 2 Stanley cups there.


  1. scotibank saddledome Calgary 19

United Center 18 Chicago

The United Center is where Patrick Kane used to play, and Bedard plays now. It is Chicago's place to be, with hosting the Bulls, and the Blackhawks.


Wells Fargo center 17 Philadalphia


TD garden Boston 16

Some people may still call it the old Boston garden, but this is where a ton of Boston sports are played, in fact, the Bruins and the Celtics play here. It's pretty nice with great ice, and a nice experience.


Ball arena Colorado 15

Ball arena is in the heart of Denver, with nice concessions, and seats, I give it 4.5 stars on the inside. The size isn't insanely big, but it is a place I would like to go see a game.


American Airlines center Dallas 14

This place is a great place to be in Dallas for a Mavs game, or a Stars game. The hardcore fan bases are tough to beat, and it's a pretty nice arena.


Xcel energy center Minnesota 13


Climate pledge arena Seattle 12

The newest arena in the NHL, has to be nice. From the outside it doesn't look that high. Well because it is actually partly built into the ground. Climate pledge is a fancy arena, with 2 huge jumbotrons, as you might know.


Bridgestone arena Nashville 11


Bell centre Montreal 10

This place is classic for hockey, and is a great place to watch some french hockey. " I always love playing there, because not only is it my childhood team a watched, the fans are unique and it is a nice place," says Sidney Crosby.


Scotiabank arena Toronto 9

Another great place to watch hockey, with a huge jumbotron, and you know the Maple Leafs fans. As you might have seen, the Canadian arena's always seem to be on top for hockey.


Madison square garden 8

The most famous arena in the world, as people say. MSG is huge and can fit tons of people.

It is for sure the most well known hockey arena. Although the opposing team says the ice normally isn't too good at MSG.


Honda Center Anihiem 7

Some people say hockey in California isn't as good, but wait until you see the Ducks rink.

I like this rink because there is a lot to do in terms of, they have an area where you can shoot pucks, play knee hockey, and even shoot basketballs. I like the inside of it too.


Nationwide arena Columbus 6

Some may argue that we should of put this one back more, but I disagree. It is one of the newer rinks in the metro division, is a pretty big place, and has some of the nicest locker rooms and player area in the whole league.


Canada Life centre Winnipeg 5

his place in the playoffs is one of the most electric rinks in all of the teams. The fans love it, but I don't know much about this rink.


T-Mobile arena Vegas 4


Crypto .com arena LA 3

For many other sports this is the nicest, and one of the biggest arena's in the league.

Many players love playing here because the ice is nice, and it's a pretty big place.

" Playing LA on a trip is always fun, because it's LA, and the ice and arena is nice," says Auston Matthews.


Rodgers arena Vancouver 2

The place is fancy with every time the Canucks score the stairs light up. I have never been here, but heard it is a very awesome arena you need to go to.

Rodgers Place Edmonton 1

This place is one of the biggest arenas in the NHL. It is super fancy and even has a glass area for people who are in a sweet down low to see the players come out. I can't wait to see a game here.


From the author

Making this was fun, but also rough. I spent about 2 weeks working on this gathering data from a lot of places. Also wanted to mention this is pretty much my opinion based on a bunch of data from other websites. Hoped you liked it.
