Hockey season is nearly upon us, which means fans are gearing up to see some incredible ice action and feel some serious hometown pride.
The rest of us, however, are just looking forward to watching hot men play with sticks.
Whatever your reason for watching, you can’t deny that there’s a plethora of hot men to oogle in the process. Luckily for you, we’ve compiled a list of the hottest players the NHL has to offer.
Here are 20 of the hottest hockey players in the NHL.
Joffrey Lupul
Team: Toronto Maple Leafs
Age: 32
Position: Left Wing
Hailing from Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta, Lupul makes hearts race with his beautiful hazel eyes and strong jawline. Add in that height, and you’ve got yourself a hockey heartthrob.
A little height never hurt anyone either. This hunk stands at 6’1″ tall.
Tyler Seguin
Team: Dallas Stars
Age: 24
Position: Centre
This Texas cutie is originally from Brampton, Ontario. Between the full tattoo sleeves, beard, and boyish good looks, Seguin is sure to make fans swoon. Plus he looks pretty cute in a snapback.
Patrick Sharp
It was a pleasure to see Veronica after a #Stars win. https://t.co/QvXihjkQBV pic.twitter.com/6Oj6HqILsV
— Patrick Sharp (@10PSharp) April 8, 2016
Team: Dallas Stars
Age: 34
Position: Left Wing
Fall into those green eyes. They match his uniform. The Thunder Bay native now calls Dallas home along with fellow hottie Tyler Seguin. Swoon.
Henrik Lundqvist
Team: New York Rangers
Age: 34
Position: Goalie
Swedish babe Henrik Lundqvist’s classic good looks are reminiscent of a bygone era. Maybe he should have considered leaving the New York Rangers for a role in Mad Men? Either way, there’s no denying that this man has some striking features.
Jonathan Bernier
Team: Anaheim Ducks
Age: 28
Position: Goalie
Ok, let’s be real, everyone loves a family man. Look at how adorable Jonathan Bernier is with his wife and baby in this photo – what’s not to love? Aside from his groomed, boy-next-door good looks, of course.
Darnell Nurse
Team: Edmonton Oilers
Age: 21
Position: Defence
Can we just fall into the fact that Darnell Nurse is 6’4″? Sigh. Aside from that, his cute smile, occasional beard, and his endless support for his sister Kia (who plays basketball for Team Canada) makes Nurse one sexy man. Can you say hello, nurse?
Erik Gudbranson
Team: Vancouver Canucks
Age: 24
Position: Defence
Erik Gudbranson’s Instagram paints a picture of an adventurous spirit, since he seems to love travelling. Combine that with tattoos and a winning smile, and you have yourself a regulation hottie.
Carey Price
Team: Montreal Canadiens
Age: 29
Position: Goalie
Those dimples, that scruff – what more could you want out of a Montreal Canadiens goalie? His boyish good looks make him approachable, and his 6’3″ height isn’t bad either. Babe.
TJ Brodie
Was an Honor to receive the J.R. McCaig award!! Thank you. #CofRed pic.twitter.com/cem1rbdb3c
— TJ Brodie (@TJ_Brodie7) March 9, 2016
Team: Calgary Flames
Age: 26
Position: Defence
A little scruff never hurt anyone. Standing at 6’1″, defenceman for the Calgary Flames TJ Brodie has plenty of it, but it seems he shies away from social media. That, my friends, makes anyone way more attractive.
Gabriel Gagne
Team: Ottawa Senators
Age: 19
Position: Right Wing
Gabriel Gagne is the youngest of anyone on this list and the most recently signed, too. Luckily for you, his age means he’s also the most social media savvy. Oogle his Instagram account for more of Gagne.
Sidney Crosby
Team: Pittsburgh Penguins
Age: 29
Position: Centre
Crosby has an unusually toothy grin for a hockey player. The Nova Scotia native has boyish good looks, with full lips and a good, square jaw. And at 5’11” and 200 pounds, he’s not a bad size, either.
Kris Letang
Team: Pittsburg Penguins
Age: 29
Position: Defence
It seems the Pittsburgh Penguins have some pretty babely players. Kris Letang makes people swoon with his scruff, charming smile, and love for his wife and son (it’s pretty clear they’re his number one if Instagram is any indication). It doesn’t hurt that he likes to look fresh, too.
Andy Andreoff
Team: LA Kings
Age: 25
Position: Left Wing
Well, hello there. Andy Andreoff is the definition of tall, dark, and handsome. Standing at 6’1″ tall and with a constant growth of scruff on his face, Andreoff is the Los Angeles pretty boy we all need in our lives. Plus he loves his niece – too cute.
Andre Burakovsky
Nobody rocks a white t-shirt and sneakers like this 6’3″ babe. The Swede plays for the Washington Capitals, but he also plays with our hearts.
Team: Washington Capitals
Age: 21
Position: Left Wing
Luke Glendening
“I just want to continue to contribute any way I can.”
Luke’s ready to get 2016-17 going: https://t.co/LuI5UkoGYR pic.twitter.com/C9Mrqun0i8
— Detroit Red Wings (@DetroitRedWings) August 3, 2016
Team: Detroit Red Wings
Age: 27
Position: Centre
With his all-American good looks, Glendening wins hearts left, right…and centre. The Michigan native is very private on his social media channels – his Instagram is completely private – which makes him all the more alluring. Kudos, Glendening. Kudos.
Jordan Nolan
Team: LA Kings
Age: 27
Position: Centre
Even with a missing tooth, this hockey hottie’s good looks can’t be denied. Plus, Nolan’s dedication to First Nations issues (he’s a member of the Ojibwe First Nation) shows he’s passionate, and that’s very attractive.
Tom Wilson
Team: Washington Capitals
Age: 22
Position: Right Wing
Wilson has a strong, powerful gaze, even when he’s making a neutral facial expression. Just check out his official photo here. And standing at 6’4″ is always a plus.
Brenden Dillon
Thank you @MainlandFord for Hooking me up this summer! More then enough room for the gear and clubs in this thing! pic.twitter.com/pX0QPUfLJm
— Brenden Dillon (@BDillon04) June 27, 2016
Team: San Jose Sharks
Age: 25
Position: Defence
Dillon is a Vancouver native, but plays for the San Jose Sharks. A giant of a man at 6’4,” he has an undeniably charming smile and a good head of hair to boot.
Elias Lindholm
Team: Carolina Hurricanes
Age: 21
Position: Centre
Elias Lindholm hails from Sweden and now plays for the Carolina Hurricanes. Frankly, he creates a hurricane in our pants with his sultry gaze, thick hair, and scruffy face. Yowza.
Chris Higgins
Look at those abs on Chris Higgins!!!! 😀 <3 pic.twitter.com/O7rEZ3r6Qe
— Chelsea Currie (@hawsks4life) February 16, 2014
Team: Trying out for the Calgary Flames
Age: 33
Position: Left Wing
With or without a beard, it’s undeniable that Higgins is hot, hot, hot. Just check out those abs. He’s technically not listed with any team at the moment, but he’s trying out for the Calgary Flames, which would only make him hotter.
