Chaos on the Ice, Champagne in Your Seat
Where to Watch the Mayhem from the Comfort of Luxury Seats
The Stanley Cup is arguably the most legendary trophy in all of sports. Unlike other championships, only one Cup is passed from team to team each year. When a team wins, every player's name is engraved on it, cementing their place in hockey history. Until they earn that honor, players follow a strict superstition—never touching the Cup until they can lift it as champions. Once they do, each player gets a day with the trophy, leading to jaw-dropping moments from eating cereal out of it to accidentally drop-kicking it into a canal. With its deep-rooted history and cherished traditions, the Stanley Cup is more than just a trophy—it’s the ultimate symbol of hockey glory.
So it’s no surprise that hockey fans don’t just cheer for the Stanley Cup—they go crazy for it. For many, seeing their team hoist the Cup is a lifelong dream, leading to some of the most passionate and devoted followings in all of sports. Some fans go to extreme lengths to witness history, traveling across the country for playoff games or even camping outside arenas just to be part of the atmosphere. When victory finally comes, the celebrations are just a notch below a full-scale riot—historic, chaotic, and the stuff of future tales.
So as a hockey fan myself, watching your team win is a thrilling experience only made better by watching it with a bit of style. Don’t get me wrong, I will chest bump and high five and cheer with the rowdiest of them, but going home drenched in, and smelling of beer from an overactive seat neighbor who wound up to the high five a little too much… well, that I could do without. So if you still want to be a part of the loyalty, the heartbreak, and the unrelenting passion, but perhaps from a safer distance, I have a few tips on where in the league this can be achieved:
Pier Club at Prudential Center
Located in one of the NHL’s most passionate hockey cities, this exclusive club provides a first-class atmosphere to enjoy high-stakes hockey action in comfort. Opened in September of 2024, and inspired by the finer things of the Jersey Shore, Pier Club is located on the second suite level of the West side of Prudential Center.
Offering a unique and upscale atmosphere with a focus on modern premium seating, the club provides dynamic seating for groups of 2 to 8 people, including private boxes, premium plush seats, and barstools.
The Pier Club at Prudential Center has mastered the combination of luxury with the thrill of hockey. All-inclusive food is served at multiple stations throughout the club, a private cash bar is positioned in a way where getting a drink does not take you away from the action, and top-tier sightlines from every seat allow you to catch every moment on the ice. Whether you're a die-hard Devils fan or just love the thrill of postseason hockey, The Pier Club elevates the experience with its amenities and ease of access.
Glass Seats at T-Mobile Arena
Some of the best seats around any ice rink are arguably glass seats. Every check, shot, and celebration feels within arm’s reach. I mean the boards shake in front of you with the vibrations often carrying through to your seat as players crash into them, and you can physically hear the ice spray up as a skater stops in front of you. It’s palpable.
In a city that prides itself on entertainment, it’s no surprise the energy, and perks, in T-Mobile Arena are next level. Glass seats here also grant access to the exclusive Center Ice Club where you can enjoy an elevated take on arena classics as well as reprieve from the action between periods in the VIP Lounge. Styled with statement bars, the club provides a Chic atmosphere more reminiscent of a finer speakeasy-like lounge than a club at a hockey game.
Find Your Perfect Space
So whether you’re a hockey fan, entertaining a die-hard guest, or simply want to be there when a team hoists that beautiful trophy in the air, Suitehop can easily help you find the spaces in each arena with a bit more elbow room and a bit more to offer.
