• One thing is clear by these FanDemand Rankings: Canada loves its hockey. Five out of ten teams on the list are Canadian, with the top three spots all occupied by teams from the great white north.
• Toronto Maple Leafs tickets are the hottest in the league right now. They are undefeated, and look to be a threat into the playoffs.
• Vancouver is just settling down from a rowdy 2010 Olympic games and the preceding NHL playoffs where their Canucks got knocked out in the early rounds by the Blackhawks. Canucks tickets are second highest in FanDemand at $242.
• Boston loves it sports, especially when it comes to hockey. Bruins tickets are the 5th hottest in the league, just behind Pittsburgh Penguin tickets.

NHL FanDemand: Hottest Games this Season

1. Winter Classic: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals, 1/1/11: $604.00

• One thing is on hockey fans list of New Years Resolutions: getting tickets to the Winter Classic. This game will be a spectacle, with two of the most exciting players matching up against one another: Canadian golden boy Sidney Crosby vs. the Russian Alex Ovechkin. These teams will likely meet in the playoff’s, as well, so a lot is on the line for this New Year’s Day game.

2. Montreal Canadiens @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 4/9/11:  $403.00

• This intense intra-Canadian rivalry is definitely the biggest in Canada, if not all of the NHL. Tickets are going to probably increase as we get closer to this one. The Leafs look good so far this year, and the Canadiens are 3-1-1 despite the absence of their star player, Andrei Markov.

3. Chicago Blackhawks @ Vancouver Canucks, 11/20/10: $350.00

• Another heated rivalry, Vancouver-ites will pack Rogers Arena when the defending champs come across the border. The Hawks are one up on the Canucks already, with a 2-1 victory this month. Can goalie Roberto Luongo help his team bounce back and take the re-match?

4. Pittsburgh Penguins @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 2/26/11:  $350.00

• The Leafs host the Crosby and the Penguins in February, and may put Canadians in a tough spot. Deep down, they must be cheering for Sidney Crosby, who hit the gold-winning medal goal for his country last February in the Olympics. But in the end, Toronto will want a win here. Look for an exciting atmosphere inside the Air Canada Centre.

5. Tampa Bay Lightning @ Vancouver Canucks, 12/11/10: $349.00

• Interesting to see this game among the FanDemand ranks, considering the fact that Lightning tickets are the lowest in the league. But Canucks tickets are always a hot item, and every game for them is a must win. The Lightning will try to put a few in the net, past one of the better goalies in the league, Roberto Luongo.

6. Boston Bruins @ Montreal Canadiens, 1/8/11: $345.00

• The Bruins take on the Havs this January in what is the 6th hottest game this season. Goalie Tim Thomas has looked good for the Bruins so far this year, but Montreal will threaten early with their potent offense.

7. Pittsburgh Penguins @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 3/2/11:  $330.00

8. Chicago Blackhawks @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 3/5/11:  $330.00

9. Toronto Maple Leafs @ Vancouver Canucks, 12/18/10: $329.00

10. Montreal Canadiens @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 12/11/10:  $318.00

It’s going to be a great season: remember to check out FanSnap for the best possible values on the best possible NHL tickets, all season long.

The NBA and NHL Playoffs are starting to heat up. Fans can almost taste the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup. We thought it’d be a good time to dig into the numbers a bit to see what’s hottest and, more importantly for fans, where the values are.

Top sports ticket searches on FanSnap:
1. Lakers
2. Blackhawks
3. Flyers
4. Celtics

Looking ahead to the NBA Finals, fan expectations and ticket prices are up substantially over the conference finals. If the Lakers, Suns or Celtics make it to the Finals, fans can expect to pay $800 per ticket on average. If the Magic make the NBA Finals — with an average ticket price of $450 — it may be cheaper for Suns or Lakers fans to see the game in Orlando than at home.

NBA Finals Home Game 1
Lakers – $840
Suns – $808
Celtics – $799
Magic – $450

A similar trend holds true in the NHL where Stanley Cup tickets prices in Montreal and Chicago are substantially higher than in San Jose or Philadelphia.

NHL Stanley Cup Home Game 1
Canadiens – $1,645
Blackhawks – $1,332
Flyers – $825
Sharks – $687

“Thrilling” is not a big enough word to describe the Team USA Olympic hockey run or the Gold Medal final against Canada. Sports fans around the world got to see hockey at its finest and they like what they saw. Demand is now surging for NHL tickets as hockey’s elite players return from Vancouver to resume the NHL season.

Following the most highly anticipated matchup of the Winter Games, and perhaps in the history of Canadian sports — USA – Canada in the Gold Medal hockey final — NHL tickets are heating up in the U.S and Canada. The hottest teams saw average ticket prices for remaining home games increase by between eight to 10 percent during the Olympic Games. This of course, is unusual given no NHL games were played during the Winter Olympics. Not coincidentally, the teams with some of the biggest stars of the Olympics are seeing the biggest gains.

Biggest Movers: The hottest NHL tickets since the Olympics began:

1. Nashville Predators (tickets) are up 10.57%
2. Detroit Red Wings (tickets) are up 10.15%
3. San Jose Sharks (tickets) are up 9.56%
4. Pittsburgh Penguins (tickets) are up 9.14%
5. St Louis Blues (tickets) are up 8.00%

These teams sent a huge number of stars to play for Team Canada and Team USA during the games, including: Shea Weber, Sidney Crosby, Marc-André Fleury, Dan Boyle, Dany Heatley, Patrick Marleau, and Joe Thornton, Ryan Suter, Brian Rafalski, David Backes, D Erik Johnson, Brooks Orpik, and Joe Pavelski. Seeing those players so successful on the world stage has certainly added to fan interest in their NHL teams.
