  • 2026 NHL Faceoff Ups & Downs

    For hockey fans, it is the most exciting time of the year. The ices are in and the puck has dropped on a new season. Let's dive into the changes each team has made to their center ice design compared to last season. We’ll assess whether the changes are a hit or a miss, giving them either a thumbs up or thumbs down. Anaheim Ducks: Last season, the Ducks kept things simple with a classic checkered center line—letting their bold new ice logo take the spotlight. This year, they’re dialing up the personality with a subtle tribute to their mascot, Wild Wing. His signature logo now appears along the center line, cleverly echoing the stick design from the team’s primary crest. It’s a smart blend of tradition and flair: the checkered look remains intact, but now with a distinct Ducks twist. This upgrade earns a solid UP from me. The Boston Bruins have officially embraced the logo from their 2023–24 Centennial Season, a fan favorite that’s now become their full-time identity. It’s a strong move on the branding front, and the jerseys look fantastic. But when it comes to the ice, there’s a subtle shift worth noting: instead of the home jersey logo designed for black backgrounds, they’ve opted for the away version, better suited to white ice. While that choice makes technical sense, something about the overall presentation feels like a step back compared to last year’s mark. The brand itself is a win, but the ice execution leaves me wanting more. For now, I’m giving this one a DOWN , but this look could grow on me down the road. The Calgary Flames  have inverted their colors at center ice, opting for a white logo on a bold red background. What makes this design work is the subtle smoke/flame effect woven into the red. I've tried this color-inversion concept for other teams without success, but the Flames have absolutely nailed it. This gets a big UP  from me! The Chicago Blackhawks  are celebrating their centennial season by featuring their anniversary logo at center ice. While it's a classy commemorative design, I think they missed an opportunity. Opting for a hollow center line within the anniversary logo would have been better, as the current design obscures too much of their primary crest. Still, for a seasonal tribute, I give it an UP . For their 30th anniversary, the Colorado Avalanche have unveiled a center ice logo that is, frankly, disappointing. While the overall design attempts to be commemorative, its heavy reliance on the overlapping "XXX" is a critical oversight. The meaning associated with those letters is unmistakable and detracts completely from the celebration. The failure to catch this in the design approval stage is baffling. It's a quick DOWN . The Columbus Blue Jackets  are marking their 25th season with a new anniversary logo at center ice. The logo attempts to feature the outline of the state of Ohio, which should be its main draw. Unfortunately, the way the state is cropped in the design makes it lose its familiar shape and impact. Since that geographic element is the primary selling point, its failure earns this ice a DOWN . The Dallas Stars  made a subtle but effective change to their center ice this season. They switched to a hollow center line, which successfully allows more of their alternate "Texas" logo to show through. Although the previous design was perfectly fine, this cleaner look is a definite improvement. It earns an UP . The Detroit Red Wings ' 100th-anniversary logo at center ice is a success, even if I have one minor gripe: covering the classic Winged Wheel with "Hockeytown" in that font feels a bit jarring. That said, the Red Wings did the right thing by giving fans what they wanted, as supporters strongly voted to revive the look. The final result looks great, and the "D" logos subtly lining the center stripe elevate the entire presentation. A big UP  for the team's centennial ice. To commemorate their back-to-back Stanley Cup wins, the Florida Panthers have revived their championship center ice. The layout is identical to last season's impressive design, but they made one key adjustment: changing the color used for the Cup details. That minor alteration somehow works even better than the original. Since they took a great look and slightly improved it, it gets an UP . The Los Angeles Kings  are attempting a nostalgic throwback by placing their secondary crown logo at center ice, reminiscent of the old Great Western Forum layout. I appreciate the historical nod, but the execution is too busy. The combination of the secondary logo, the surrounding text, and the large, required Crypto.com Arena text creates a cluttered and overwhelming appearance. They missed the mark on capturing the intended simplicity of that classic look. This attempt falls short, earning a DOWN . The Minnesota Wild 's 25th-anniversary logo is absolutely stunning at center ice. It's a fantastic design. My one significant complaint is the placement of the arena wordmark, which awkwardly throws the entire center ice layout off balance—a design choice I strongly dislike when teams employ it. However, the logo itself is so great that I'll overlook the text issue for now. This gets an UP , but they really need to fix that text placement in the future. The Montreal Canadiens  delivered a genuine surprise by debuting this fancy new center ice design—a marked departure for a team that stuck with the old dual-logo layout until the 2017-18 season. The new look is a classy logo that subtly celebrates their history of Stanley Cup victories through features that resemble the inside of the Cup itself. While the timing is a bit odd given their long championship drought, the design is excellent and earns an UP . I do hope, however, that the team revisits the classic dual-logo layout again sometime in the near future. The Nashville Predators  dropped a surprise with their incredibly creative center ice design this season. It's a fantastic embrace of their colors and their famous nickname, "Smashville." The detail I love most is the incorporation of guitar strings running across the center line—it's brilliant and perfectly on brand. This look is a huge success. An UP  for Smashville! For their centennial season, the New York Rangers  introduced a slightly tweaked center ice, replacing their primary crest with a commemorative 100th-anniversary logo. They also made minor adjustments to the font and circle trim. While the overall look is acceptable, I genuinely prefer their previous layout. The one notable improvement is the center line, where the small Rangers logo outlines have been moved closer together. Unfortunately, the overall change isn't an upgrade. This one gets a DOWN . The Ottawa Senators  have brought back their full circle, cropped logo for center ice this season. While they improved the design by opting for a hollow center line, which is a nice touch, reviving this overall look wasn't the move I was hoping for. I felt last season's attempt at creativity missed the mark, and simply improving the center line isn't enough to make this layout work for me. It's still a DOWN . The Philadelphia Flyers'  center ice layout remains traditional, with the only change being the new arena name. Crucially, the text for the new name is significantly smaller than the old arena text. This reduction in size provides a much cleaner, less cluttered look that truly benefits this classic layout. For fans of traditional ice designs, this is a definite UP . I love that the San Jose Sharks are unafraid to experiment with their center ice each season. For their 35th anniversary, they introduced a new design that accompanies a special jersey. However, the commemorative mark itself is confusing. If you don't know the anniversary already, the only way to get the number "35" is by subtly counting the design elements around the logo—a concept that's too subtle for a celebration. Their design peaked in 2023-24, and this new look marks a continued slide. This is a DOWN . The Seattle Kraken  surprised everyone by bringing the design for their new glow-in-the-dark jerseys to center ice. Contrary to what might be expected, the logo looks genuinely cool on the ice. They also made a smart technical improvement by using a hollow center line this season, which allows the Kraken's eye to remain visible. This unexpected success definitely deserves an UP . The St. Louis Blues'  new logo and colors look fantastic at center ice. The subtle change of replacing the Blue Note with the Fleur-de-lis within the center line is a brilliant touch. However, the center ice suffers from a major imbalance issue—something I've noted before. The Blue Note logo doesn't naturally fill the circular space well, and the team continues to place the arena text awkwardly at the top and bottom, straddling the center line instead of using the text to balance the overall composition. For the strength of the new logo alone, this gets an UP , but the layout definitely needs a creative overhaul next season. The Tampa Bay Lightning  updated their center ice this season due to a new arena name. I expected to prefer the new look over the old Amalie Arena text, but surprisingly, I don't. It's not a step backward, but it's not an improvement either. The change is simply a neutral one —just different. Therefore, I can't give it an UP or a DOWN. The new Utah Mammoth  center ice is truly a sight for sore eyes! After a season of generic "UTAH" branding, the arrival of their actual logo is a huge relief, and it’s a quite nice one at that. They smartly kept the distinctive state of Utah shapes in the center line. This is a great, strong look to introduce the new franchise branding. Knowing their staff includes the former Vegas center ice designer, I'm optimistic for more creative designs in the future. This ice is definitely an UP —or should I say, TUSKS UP ! The Vancouver Canucks  showed creativity with their center ice last season, but the partial roundel circle behind the logo made the design feel slightly off. I appreciate that they recognized this; they kept the elements that worked and removed the background circle this year. That simple adjustment makes the ice look much cleaner and better organized. This revised look is a definite UP . The Vegas Golden Knights  have once again decked out their ice in all gold. While this specific design might not have the same "pop" as some of their previous concepts, it remains uniquely theirs. I appreciate that they consistently keep us guessing with a different look every season. For the continued commitment to originality, this one gets an UP . (Shaking my head) The Washington Capitals have once again missed a huge opportunity at center ice. They could be showcasing their awesome eagle secondary logo, but instead, they rely on the ill-suited primary wordmark. This choice results in the center line dissecting key letters—the "T" and the "i." Adding insult to injury, they removed the stars in the red line, which was the sole design element that previously worked. This is a significant downgrade and a giant DOWN . When will the Caps finally get a good-looking ice? The Winnipeg Jets  are marking their 15th anniversary with a new center ice logo, but the execution is severely flawed. At a quick glance, the number actually reads closer to "16" due to the way the solid red center line cuts across it. Furthermore, that same line needlessly covers a significant portion of the primary logo. It is baffling that they didn't use a hollow center line to allow these commemorative elements to be more visible. The Jets' normal layout is excellent, making this poorly executed anniversary look a clear DOWN . That is our look at all of the center ice changes in the NHL this season. I feel like I was more critical of the designs this year than in previous seasons. I do appreciate teams getting creative but there were some questionable calls this year. What do you think of my reflection on the changes. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. You can also see all of these ices in multiple graphic formats in the NHL Center Ice Archive .

  • New Name for Arena on the Bay

    The Tampa Bay Lightning will have a new name for their home arena. Benchmark International Arena. This rebranding marks the end of a decade-long partnership with Amalie Motor Oil and ushers in a fresh identity for one of the NHL’s most iconic venues. Benchmark International, a global mergers and acquisitions firm headquartered in Tampa, brings not only its name but also a commitment to community investment. The partnership includes over $3 million in nonprofit contributions aimed at supporting health, education, and hunger initiatives in the region. Since its opening in 1996, the arena has undergone several name changes, each reflecting a different era in Tampa Bay sports history: Year Arena Name Notes 1996–2002 Ice Palace Original name upon opening 2002–2012 St. Pete Times Forum Named after the local newspaper 2012–2014 Tampa Bay Times Forum Reflecting the paper’s rebranding 2014–2025 Amalie Arena Named after Amalie Oil Company 2025– Benchmark International Arena Current name, honoring a Tampa-based M&A firm Before settling into their downtown home, the Lightning played in a series of temporary venues: Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds (1992–1993)   A modest 11,000-seat venue where the Lightning stunned the Chicago Blackhawks in their first regular-season game. Florida Suncoast Dome / Thunderdome (1993–1996)   Located in St. Petersburg, this baseball-designed stadium was reconfigured for hockey. It’s now known as Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays. These early years were marked by scrappy determination and a growing fan base, laying the groundwork for the franchise’s eventual success—including three Stanley Cup championships. The Benchmark International Arena will undergo a phased rebranding, including: New exterior and interior signage Digital integrations Renaming of the premium club level to the Benchmark International Club Level, featuring “The Mark” as its signature all-inclusive experience. Finally, lets take a look at what the center ice layout could look like with the new branding. This is just our guess. We have not seen any official layouts at this time.

  • Hockeytown is Back

    The Detroit Red Wings are gearing up for their 100th NHL season in 2025–26 with a nostalgic and fan-driven twist. Following a public vote, the team announced that the “Hey Hey Hockeytown” logo will be featured at center ice in Little Caesars Arena. This design pays tribute to the franchise’s rich history, combining a redrawn version of the classic 1934 Winged Wheel, a modernized “100” emblem to mark the centennial, and the iconic “Hockeytown” wordmark first introduced in 1996. The fan vote, held in partnership with Meijer, saw an enthusiastic response, with over 20,000 votes cast in the first 72 hours. “Hey Hey Hockeytown” emerged as the clear favorite, reflecting the community’s deep connection to the team’s legacy. Asia Gholston, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing for Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, noted that the overwhelming participation shows fans are excited to celebrate 100 years of Red Wings hockey. The new logo will debut this fall as part of the Centennial season, which also includes single-game ticket sales and a lineup of commemorative events. While it’s not yet confirmed whether the “Hockeytown” wordmark will remain beyond this season, its return to center ice serves as a powerful symbol of Detroit’s enduring hockey pride.
