Boston, Massachusetts Named Best City for Hockey Fans

There's no denying that Boston has some passionate sports fans, whether it's football, baseball, basketball, or any other sport, but when it comes to hockey, the city appears to be the number one hockey city in the US.

WalletHub recently conducted a study to determine the best destinations for hockey fans. How did they get this data? They evaluated 76 U.S. cities across 21 basic criteria, looking at factors like ticket prices, arena size, and of course, the competitiveness of the local team.

The Florida Panthers just won the Stanley Cup in 2024. If you're a Bruins fan, you probably know that Boston has a passionate hockey history that's as legendary as the sport itself. Though they missed out on a championship this year, it may be easier to ease the pain knowing that Boston is a hockey fan's paradise and home to the Bruins, who hold the most winning regular season record in NHL history. Not to mention, a record of 20 division titles and six Stanley Cup wins solidifies Boston's status as one of the league's top hockey cities. The Bruins are also the third most valuable team in the NHL, worth a whopping $1.9 billion, according to WalletHub.

Boston's hockey scene is fueled by fierce rivalries that drive fans crazy. These fans are loyal and passionate; they put not only their time and money, but all their emotion into every game.

In Boston, hockey isn't just a sport, it's a way of life. With a history dating back to the early days of the NHL, Bostonians grew up loving the sport and it has been and will continue to be passed down through generations.

Good luck B's!!! Next year…
