The NHL Stick Tap for Service submission period has ended.

Finalists will be posted on this page in May. We look forward to crowning our NHL Stick Tap for Service champion, who embodies the spirit of giving, mentorship, sacrifice and service.

Why Stick Tap?

Fans know that a tap of hockey sticks between players, on the ice or against the boards, is a sign of approval or applause. We’re translating that into a way to acknowledge the incredible contributions of hockey fans and military members with NHL Stick Tap for Service™.
