27 Unique & Creative Gifts For Hockey Fans

#1: Hockey Stick Coasters

First are these absolutely beautiful coasters made out of actual hockey sticks.

These have such a cool distressed, rustic style to them and will look awesome as decorative pieces or when being used liked traditional coasters.

Perfect to use while watching games!

#2: 3D Pop Up Greeting Card

Need a greeting card to accompany your gift?

You won’t find a cooler option than this 3D pop up hockey card.

This looks super fun to open and close and will be incredibly enjoyable for anyone to receive!

Definitely one of those rare cards people will actually keep, or even have on display.

#3: Hockey Puck Can Cooler

Shopping for someone who loves cracking open an ice cold can of beer or soda during games?

Now they can enjoy their beverage without their hands getting cold!

These hockey puck can coolers make a surprising and awesome gift fans will love using on game day.

#4: Puck Infused Drinking Glasses

When it comes to drink ware, there’s hardly a better gift for hockey fans than the iconic BenShot SlapShot glasses.

These beautiful drinking glasses look like someone shot a hockey puck right into the glass but it never made it all the way through.

Definitely a step up from boring, plain old drinking glasses!

#5: NHL Arena Scratch Off Map

Shopping for a fan who loves attending games in person, both home and away games?

This next gift should be right up their alley.

This is a scratch off map featuring every NHL team’s arena.

Once you visit each arena, you take a coin and scratch it off the map to reveal its logo!

I only hope I can scratch off every single one at some point. I’ve only visited two arenas so far (UBS Arena and Prudential Center).

If you’re one of the rare few who’s been to every single arena, I’m seriously impressed!

You’ve earned full bragging rights.

#6: Tabletop Air Hockey Game

If your giftee is someone who loves games, this is something they’ll have a ton with.

If they don’t have room for a full sized air hockey table, this mini tabletop one is a great alternate that’s still super fun to play!

It’s perfect to break out during game day parties and game nights too for the host and guests alike to enjoy.

#7: Hockey Stick Tray & Glass Set

Every gift on this list is cool, but this one is seriously one of the coolest.

The sheer amount of things you can build and design from hockey equipment never ceases to amaze me.

This is a serving tray made from the blade of a hockey stick, and it’s sure to be a huge hit at your next game day party or watch party.

#8: Hockey Puck Display

Shopping for a fan who loves collecting pucks?

This hockey puck display from Etsy is a must have!

I love how it’s kind of shaped like hockey sticks too - very fitting.

This shop has a bunch of color options so you can get them one that matches their favorite team’s colors.

There are also options that hold more than just three pucks like the one in the picture, so if your giftee has a rather large collection you can still get them one of these!

#9: Hockey Stick Snow Brush & Ice Scraper

If your hockey fan lives somewhere with plenty of ice and snow in the winter, this next gift is definitely something they’ll appreciate.

The perfect combination of practical and delightful, these snow brushes and ice scrapers made from actual hockey sticks will help them clear off their cars with ease.

#10: Puck & Net Mug

I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for cool mugs, and this one is definitely no exception.

This one of those gifts fans will get a kick out of and be able to use for years to come.

Perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or for a mug of delicious hot cocoa in the thick of hockey season.

#11: Hockey Puck Coaster

Coasters are a classic gift idea for sports fans, and these hockey puck coasters are especially fitting for, well, hockey fans in particular.

Your drinking glass will fit neatly inside the puck and prevent any wetness from staining your surface.

Talk about convenience!

#12: Hockey Stick Grill Tools

Next is a rare hockey themed gift that might actually be more useful in the off season.

Although, it’s usually pretty warm around playoff time, making these hockey stick grilling tools perfect to use during a playoff game day barbecue or outdoor tailgate.

Just another one of the infinite cool things you can make out of hockey sticks!

#13: Funny “Hockey Is Importanter” Mug

Did I mention I love mugs?

If you’re shopping for a fellow mug collector/hockey fan, especially one who loves mugs with a sense of humor, this is the perfect little gift.

Who else is this perfect for?

College hockey players, college hockey fans, and college students who schedule their classes every semester to make sure they can attend every single college hockey game (looking at you RIT Corner Crew).

#14: Puck Phone Stand

And finally, I’ll end with a gift that’d actually be pretty perfect for a college student or anyone who spends a lot of time at their desk.

As one of those people, having a phone stand is incredibly convenient, especially when taking calls, watching videos, changing the music, or just keeping your phone easily accessible.

#15: Custom Hockey Barware

Help them elevate their glassware collection with some hockey-themed glasses and whiskey jars. These are perfect for the fan who loves hosting game day parties and serving drinks to their guests!
