The NHL Joins the Digital Collectibles Bandwagon, Better Late than Never!

National Hockey League Embraces Digital Collectibles, Utilizing a Modern Platform

NHL embraces digital collectibles with awesome platform.

Just when you thought the National Hockey League (NHL) might be stuck in the ice age, they’ve finally caught on to the digital collectibles frenzy! It seems they couldn’t bear the thought of missing out on all the NFT fun that other major sports leagues have been having for the past two years. Better late than never, right?

Introducing NHL Breakaway, the NHL’s latest initiative that embraces the world of digital collectibles. And they’re not going at it alone. They’ve partnered up with Sweet, a platform that allows brands to create NFT collectibles. Sweet works its magic using the Ethereum ERC-721 standard on Polygon and the Ethereum mainnet, as well as the Tezos standard for NFTs. Talk about covering all the bases!

Now, let’s take a look at the timeline here. Back in 2021, the NBA decided to shoot its shot with NBA Top Shot. Not to be outdone, the NFL announced a partnership with Dapper Labs, while Major League Baseball teamed up with Topps for their own NFT collectibles extravaganza. And only now, in 2023, the NHL is finally entering the game. Hey, better late than never, right? Can’t blame them for taking their time to lace up their digital skates.

The official launch of NHL Breakaway was set for Wednesday, but hold your horses, folks! Sweet’s website got a little too excited and started promoting the program earlier in the week. Oops! But hey, at least it gave us a taste of what’s to come.

Now, let me tell you about the pièce de résistance of NHL Breakaway. Hold on to your hockey sticks, because we’ve got “The Trade Lounge”! This “first-of-its-kind” feature is an absolute game-changer. It’s like the ultimate hangout spot for collectors, where they can trade packs and highlights of their favorite plays or NHL Players with fellow enthusiasts. It’s a collector community interaction hub on steroids! I mean, who needs a penalty box when you’ve got The Trade Lounge?

So, all you digital asset investors out there, get your virtual jerseys ready and prepare to dive into the NHL’s digital collectibles universe. The NHL may be late to the party, but hey, at least they’re here now. And who knows, maybe they’ll serve up a few surprises along the way. Let the digital slapshots begin!
