All the NHL Helmet Ads Being Worn for 2020-21

With the National Hockey League allowing teams to make their own individual deals to display advertiser’s logos on their in-game helmets in 2020-21, we figured we’d help you keep up-to-date with what each team is wearing with this all-in-one tracker. The NHL says this will only be permitted during the 2020-21 season.

Below you’ll see each of the teams to announce a deal thus far, listed in alphabetical order. We’ll add to this list as new agreements are announced so keep checking back to see if you missed anything.

The Rangers haven’t announced a helmet ad yet, but they have been wearing the logo of Northwell Health on their helmets during pre-season practices.

So we’ll have to wait and see if this carries on to the regular season.

WASHINGTON CAPITALS

The Washington Capitals will be wearing the logo of their arena naming rights holder CapitalOne, the deal announced on December 22, 2020. The Capitals deal is interesting in that it at least still contains most of their team’s name in the sponsor logo?

“Monumental Sports & Entertainment has a long-standing relationship with Capital One, and we are thrilled to add a valuable piece of real estate to their portfolio as the Capitals helmet entitlement partner,” said Jim Van Stone, President of Business Operations for MS&E in the Capitals press release. “We are excited to further grow our relationship with Capital One through a unique, first-of-a-kind opportunity in hockey that greatly showcases the brand across local, national and international audiences.”
