NHL Stick Tap for Service™, Presented by Navy Federal Credit Union

Meet Our Finalists! After lots of great nominations, we’re proud to share our four finalists. Check out their video introductions below. We look forward to announcing our 2025 NHL Stick Tap for Service™ Champion. Visit this page later this month to meet the winner.

Navy Federal Credit Union and the NHL teamed up again this year to recognize the outstanding community service of hockey fans and military members with the NHL Stick Tap for Service™ program. We’ll reward them with a trip to a Stanley Cup Final game and a charitable donation.

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™.
