Who doesn’t love finding new ways to have fun with their pup? Here’s an idea — support your local minor league or college hockey team at a dog friendly “Pucks and Paws” game!
Dreaming up new things for you to do with your pets and sharing that information is our passion. So when we got a whiff that hockey teams were hosting dog friendly games, we did some digging. After all, how many pups can tell their friends they’ve been to a dog friendly hockey game?!
After a little sniffing around, we discovered that many minor league teams across the country have dog friendly hockey games. So, we dug in and found 30 games you can attend with your pup during the 2023-2024 season!
If you know of other dog friendly hockey games we missed, please let us know in the comments and we’ll add them to the list!
