The Best & Worst NHL Arenas

Scott Powers and Mark Lazerus of The Athletic have ranked the best and worst arenas in the NHL. The list rankings are absolutely shocking!

The Best T- Mobile Arena (Las Vegas)
This rink is obviously fairly new. It has ranked the highest among all of the league's arenas based on its location, quality of the facility, atmosphere, and press box. It is right on the strip in Vegas Strip where you can go out before or after the game. This is a state of the art facility and the fans have been ecstatic about their new franchise.

The Worst
Canadian Tire Centre (Ottawa)

It's a surprise that the Barclays Center in New York was not named as the worst barn in the league. Instead,  the Canadian Tire Centre was chosen, particularly because of it's unreasonable distance from the City of Ottawa. Traffic is also quite brutal on route to and from the rink from the city. The dressing rooms are reportedly small and uncomfortable.
