The Stats

It seems over the years, The NHL is becoming more and more popular. While it’s still behind, NFL, NBA, and MLB, the stars of the game, are becoming more and more known. Here’s what we bet on as of now:

NFL. 81%
NBA. 54%
MLB. 44%
College Football. 34%
Soccer. 28%
NHL. 26%
MMA, UFC or Boxing. 26%
Golf. 15%

But according to Bet Massachusetts:
As the NHL moves forward, it is becoming a more star-driven league. People still cheer for teams, of course, but cheering for stars like Connor McDavid, Alex Ovechkin and David Pastrnak almost supersede cheering for the team. Jerseys are the perfect way to cheer for a team and also support an individual player, showing your loyalties lie with the team and the players that make the team worth watching. 
So, here we go! Let’s go find the NHL’s MOST Popular Jerseys! It’s Bet Massachusetts, projected sales for 2022-2023.

  • 10-Brad Marchand

     

    I think he’s be higher after they win the cup.

    Marchand has long been one of the league’s most polarizing figures, but in Boston he has always been revered. He once again sits above a point per game and slots in perfectly with Patrice Bergeron on one of the best two-way lines in NHL history.

  • 9-Kirill Kaprizov-Minnesota Wild

    I’d want this guy on my side in a street fight.

  • 8-Cale Makar-Colorado Avalanche

    Not exactly the chill of the Rocky’s

  • 7-David Pastrnak-Bruins

    Higher, when we win!

    Two Boston Bruins make their way onto the top 10 as David Pastrnak checks in at seventh and Brad Marchand is currently 10th. The Bruins have vaulted to the top of the league with a historically great season and fans are showing their appreciation by supporting the team and its top players

  • 6-Nathan MacKinnon-Colorado Avalanche

    “You didn’t buy this jersey yet?”

  • 5-Patrick Kane-New York Rangers

  • 4-Auston Matthews-Toronto Maple Leafs

  • 3-Sidney Crosby-Pittsburgh Penguins

  • 2-Conner McDavid-Edmonton Oilers

    Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid is next on our list. He has had some incredible seasons, but this one has been a step above and his jersey will likely top lists for years to come.

  • 1-Alex Ovechkin-Washington Capitols

    Of course, he’s #1.

    Alexander Ovechkin of the Capitals will likely hold the top spot this year, as his chase for the NHL all-time goal scoring record has rejuvenated fan interest and his recent passing of Gordie Howe for second all time on that list has fans fascinated with his performances.
