30 Awesome Hockey Party Ideas

#1: Hockey Themed Cookies

If you’re looking for some party snacks that practically double as decorations because of how great they look, you’ve found them!

This talented shop on Etsy takes custom orders for any team and jersey number, but you do have to order in advance, so keep that in mind if you’re wanting to order some for your party.

#2: Rink Fruit Pizza

Need a super quick and easy game day party snack? A fruit pizza will certainly do the trick.

I love how this one was made to look like a hockey rink. Definitely a cool touch your guests will appreciate!

#3: NHL Balloons

Balloons are a really easy way to make your party decor feel more festive and enhance the atmosphere of your party space.

If you have no idea what to do when it comes to party decor, just display some balloons!

You can either get some balloons to match your team colors or get NHL themed ones like in the photo.

The Stanley Cup balloon is especially perfect for playoff game watch parties.

#4: Stanley Cup Treat Cups

Speaking of the Stanley Cup, these Stanley Cup inspired dessert cones are a super creative and unique party snack idea that I’m a huge fan of.

They’re sure to be a huge hit at your party! Use them as snack or candy cups like in the photo or even as cupcake display holders.

#5: Skates & Puck Garland

A hockey themed garland is a great way to decorate for a game day party if you have some wall space.

A great place to hang this is over a food table or above the TV that’ll be showing the game.

#6: Stanley Cup of Candy

Here’s another awesome Stanley Cup themed snack display you’ll definitely want to take note of.

A great idea is to create a giant trophy candy display like this one and place it in the middle of your dessert table for your guests to enjoy!

To take it a step further, only use candy bars whose colors match your team’s.

This will look even better if you’re planning to use matching colors throughout your party decor.

#7: Hockey Team Cupcakes

How can I talk about game day parties without talking about cupcakes?

These awesome Toronto Maple Leaf cupcakes are ones guests will be taking pictures of before they eat them!

If you’re not a Leafs fan, you can always replace the logo with your own team’s, and the hockey stick design will work for fans of any team.

Other designs you could use for the cupcakes include jerseys, jersey numbers, pucks, skates, and helmets.

If you don’t have the know how to create the designs yourself or don’t want to custom order cupcakes, you can always find some hockey themed cupcake toppers with your team’s logo on them to use instead.

Cupcake toppers are a really easy way to level up plain cupcakes and make them look just a bit more fancy.

#8: Decorative Hockey Confetti

Feel like your party decor needs just a little extra something but can’t quite figure out what?

A fun idea is to take hockey themed confetti like this set and sprinkle it over your food table, dessert table, party favors table, side tables, coffee tables, etc.

Basically, use it to spruce up any surface you feel needs a little more festivity.

#9: NHL Team Cake

Cupcakes are great, but every party needs a cake.

I love this Montreal Canadiens themed cake and how well designed it is with the logo, stripes, hockey stick, and even a puck with the NHL logo on the side.

Unless you’re a really talented baker and cake decorator, this will probably be something you get custom ordered.

If possible, a really cool idea is to match the inside of the cake to your team’s colors (and have the outside match as well).

Just an extra cool little detail sure to surprise and delight your guests when the cake is cut!

#10: Hockey Stick Cupcake Display

This is probably the absolute coolest hockey game day party idea on this list.

This probably something you’ll have to custom build, but if you can do it, there’s seriously no cooler way you can display cupcakes at your party than with a cupcake display made from hockey sticks.

#11: Edible Sticks & Pucks

How fun is this penalty box photo idea? Guests will have a blast posing for pictures here. For an extra layer of fun, have a way for guests to instantly print out their photos to take home with them.

Something like this is a great way to personalize your guests’ party experience. If your guests are on a hockey team, use their actual jersey number for an additional delightful surprise they’ll love.

#17: Party Favor Pucks

I’ve got another fun hockey party favor idea for you! These custom pucks will act as a memento from your party that guests will save for years to come, and actually be able to use on the ice.

A basic design idea you can steal is to have the name and date of your event on one side and the names of all the attendees on the other.

#18: Hockey Player Photo Spot

Something like this is another fun photo opportunity for your guests to create lasting memories they’ll cherish!

M&Ms (and other candies) in a tube are sure to add a fun pop of color to your event while giving guests another option for delicious treats they can enjoy.
