81 brands partnered with the NHL for the Stanley Cup Finals. Fanatics replaced adidas as the NHL’s on-ice kit supplier in a 10-year deal worth $80 million annually at the start of the 2024-25 season, having previously signed a 16-year deal through 2032-33 to manufacture and supply replica jerseys and other apparel/headwear, as well as ‘quick turn-around’ merchandise for the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Final, including the hats and T-shirts worn by the champion team’s players. Electronics powerhouse Apple extended their sponsorship of the NHL for the 2024-25 season for $12 million. The agreement sees Apple equipment be provided to the NHL’s coaches and referees. The analyst estimates that 13 of the NHL’s sponsorship deals were worth $10 million or more annually, including deals with large corporations such as Amazon Web Services, PepsiCo and EA Sports.

The 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs had a Prize Pool of approximately $23 million. The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the NHL and National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA), last signed in 2020, includes the provision for an annual increase in prize money. The 2025 pool was $1 million more than the 2024 equivalent. Champions Florida Panthers received $6.5 million for lifting the Stanley Cup; runners up Edmonton Oilers picked up $3.7 million. Teams decide internally how to split the prize money across the roster. For players on league minimum contracts, particularly rookies, a deep playoff run can lead to a substantial bonus payout, potentially exceeding their base salary.
