Hi Users of Reddit -

I just turned 28 and I have a busy work schedule, and decided to make a goal of visiting all 32 NHL Stadiums before I turn 32. My biggest why is I love live sports and events, and as someone who spends her time making the fan experience fun as a college coach, I like seeing what other teams do and if I can apply that to my own workspace. I’m passionate about water polo (the sport I play), and so I think hockey excites me in that it’s another sport where you’re told you can be aggressive. Some of my closest friends are also hockey fans and when I told them I wanted to do this, they were all in on whichever arenas they haven’t visited they would join me.

Right now I’m based on the West Coast, USA so I was going to knock the Pacific Division teams in CA (and hopefully AZ and Vegas) out of the way. I booked my ticket for a Sharks game the weekend I’m traveling to the Bay Area for work.

My 32nd birthday is in 2027 right after the 2026-27 Stanley Cup Finals wrap up. That being said, I think my biggest hurdle is going to be travel with the bulk of my work schedule being from Oct-May with a couple of weeks at a time in Nov, Dec, and Jan. I know I will need to update my passport somewhere in between to make traveling to Canada work. Otherwise, general travel, airfare, and (if needed) lodging and car travel will also be on my list of things to plan for.

If anyone else has done this, I would love for any tips on pulling this off. I am thinking about documenting each visit and the fan experience, so protips on what to get as well as memorabilia (I was thinking a custom jersey with the number being which one they were on my final visit list).
