Unlike the Christmas holiday, the New Year’s holiday is not stopping the NHL schedule, with plenty of games on Wednesday and Thursday to close out 2025 and ring in 2026. I hope you all have plenty of time to watch as much hockey as you like (oh, and to see beloved family and friends, if that’s your thing) as we step into the new year!

The regular-season hockey threads won’t be pinned, so you might want to keep this open in a separate tab if you’d like to keep an eye on it until the next one goes up. (Considering how fast unpinned posts slide down the home page, I’ll probably be slapping up a new one of these every Tuesday and Saturday as long as I remember to do so.) Otherwise, you can always find these under the Sports > Hockey menu at the top of the home page.
Have fun and happy hockey!
