The NHL is back – and so are the Winter Olympic Games. Hockey is a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, and it’s always a good idea to be on the side of the puck, rather than the side of the skates. The last couple of weeks have been full of news about hockey and the Olympics, and we’ve been wondering where to put the numbers on our hockey helmets. Here are some ideas and suggestions.

NHL Stadiums Have Flexible Seating Arrangements
Most of us are familiar with the traditional hockey arena, with its tiered seating and stadium-like atmosphere. It’s safe to say that the open-air hockey stadium is one of the most iconic images from the 2018 Winter Olympics. You’ll have your hands full just taking photos in front of the iconic gold-trimmed hockey arenas. The seating arrangements in the arenas are very flexible. For instance, you can put your camera next to the glass and shoot some photos from close up. You can also sit in the lower sections and get a different perspective on the game. The best part is that you can walk around the entire stadium and get an intimate view of the action from all angles.
Watch The Game From Any Section
Another great way to enjoy the action is from a different section altogether. The good thing about the NHL is that you can buy game tickets in different sections to suit your needs. It’s a great advantage to have, particularly if you’re looking for some peace and quiet during the game. You can find tickets in the last row of the section, or even in the last bench. From there, you can see the entire ice surface and the arena’s beautiful curvature. You can also use your cell phone to take photos and record the game. The best part is that you can do all of this from the luxury of your own seat. This is the modern-day sports fan’s dream.
Use Your Phone’s Screen For The Sides
A few years back, technology came up with a great solution for this. Some NHL teams had the bright idea of using their phones’ screens instead of watching the game on small square TVs. It’s a better match for photos and videos, and it offers a superior experience. If you’re watching the game on your phone, you can use your screen’s brightness to your advantage. It creates a wonderful atmosphere in the stadium, and it’s the perfect place to show off your team colors and spirit. It’s a great way to enjoy the game and commemorate your favorite players and teams. Having your own screen also makes it easier to follow live scores and updates during the game.
A Great Place To Eat And Drink
As mentioned before, the NHL encourages its fans to attend the games, and they provide a great place to do that. The arena staff also ensure that the fans have everything they need, including restaurants and bars. There is a wide variety of food options available, from fast food chains to traditional foods. You might also want to bring your own refreshments with you, as there are plenty of places to buy soft drinks and beer. You can also use your phone to find the closest restaurant and order food there. The great thing is that all of these places are within walking distance of the arena. It’d be difficult to get much closer to the action and still enjoy a good meal.
More Metrics For Referees
The NHL collects a lot of data on their games, and they use that data to improve the experience for future fans. One of the newest developments is the collection of additional metrics on referees’ performance. In the past, the only way to know how a referee performed in a game was from memory, or through statistical analysis of already-scored goals and chances for goals. The metric systems developed by the NHL allow fans to track how a referee handles different situations during a game. It’s a great way to follow the game and know how the officials are doing. There are also various camera angles available for the officials’ performances, so fans can study how the referees handle certain situations. The metric systems can also be accessed online, so individuals can follow the performance of their favorite referees anywhere, at any time.
These are just some of the places where numbers could go on a hockey helmet. As you can see, there are many options. Different situations call for different solutions, but ultimately, it’s a matter of personal preference. Whatever you decide, we hope that you have fun displaying the numbers on your helmet and that the experience enhances your enjoyment of the game. Good luck.
