Funny Hockey Team Names: 50+ Ideas for Beer League, Fantasy and Kids

A good hockey team name does half the trash talk for you. It goes on the jerseys, gets announced before every game, and lives in the group chat all season. Whether you just signed up a beer league squad, drafted a fantasy roster, or got roped into naming your kid's novice team, here are more than fifty funny hockey team names to steal, sorted by who you are naming.

Funny fantasy hockey team names

Fantasy names are a yearly tradition, and the pun-on-a-player-name format never dies. The trick is to name your team after whoever you actually drafted, so the joke updates every season. Start with the classics that always land:

• McDavid and Goliath
• Auston Powers
• Draisaitl With It
• Ovi-Wan Kenobi
• The Puck Stops Here
• Panarin State of Mind
• Silence of the Lundqvists
• Better Off Kucherov

Then load up on player puns for your 2026-27 draft, built around the stars going early this year:

• Makar Wish (Cale Makar)
• Bedard to the Bone (Connor Bedard)
• Nathan for You (Nathan MacKinnon)
• Hughes Your Daddy (Jack Hughes)
• Pasta La Vista (David Pastrnak)
• Tkachuk and Cheese (Matthew Tkachuk)
• Celebrini Sunday (Macklin Celebrini)
• Marner the Merrier (Mitch Marner)
• Eichel of Fortune (Jack Eichel)
• Point Break (Brayden Point)

The format is simple, so once you know your roster you can spin up your own: take the player's name, find a movie, song, or phrase it rhymes with, and you are done. A pun on your first-round pick beats a generic name every time your matchup pops up in the app.

How to pick the right one

Three quick filters. First, say it out loud like an announcer, because the name has to survive being shouted across a cold arena. Second, make sure it fits on a jersey and a chest print without shrinking to nothing. Third, ask whether the group chat will still find it funny in February, since a name that is only funny once is a long season. When in doubt, a clean pun beats a crude one, because the pun ages better and the parents can wear it too.

Kit the whole team out

Once the name sticks, the team wants to wear it. We print original funny hockey designs in Canada, on soft cotton tees and hoodies from S to 3XL, and every order ships from within the country with no customs to clear and no border wait. A few that suit a beer league bench: Eat Sleep Hockey Repeat, Chirp Responsibly, Just Here for the Beer League, and Hockey Hair Don't Care. If you want the actual team name on the shirt, the Custom Hockey Name and Number tee prints your name and number jersey-style. See the whole range in the funny hockey collection.
