The Stanley Cup isn’t the only big thing happening with the NHL at the moment, The National Hockey League along with its Alumni Association and Player’s Association recently announced their collaboration with the NFT marketplace Sweet to create a specific NFT marketplace for hockey collectibles. As said by NHL’s vice president of business development and innovation, David Lehanski this NFT marketplace will be a combination of both an NFT trading site and a site that offers limited-timing NFT drops.

THIS NHL NFT marketplace will provide exclusive NFT marketplace drops and is expected to release in October 2022.

Additionally, the NHL wants to explore the Web3 gaming category by including “questing and collecting” features that fans can engage in and be rewarded with other NFTs and perks.

As said by Lehanski, some of the NFTs will have dynamic characteristics, meaning they will change over time depending on how the player representing that NFT performs.
