Hockey memes

Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er. You look at the calendar and it’s playoff season, which means it’s time to stress out about a sheet of ice and a piece of rubber. Hockey is the best sport on earth, but it’s also a factory of sadness, especially if you’re cheering for a Canadian team. The drought is real, boys. It’s tough.

But that’s why we have hockey memes. It’s the only way to cope when the zebra is staring at a tablet for twenty minutes trying to decide if a skate blade was a millimeter offside. You gotta laugh or you’re gonna put your fist through the drywall. We got guys out here blocking shots with their faces and acting like it’s a mosquito bite. That’s hockey tough. That’s the culture. So grab a stick, tape it up, and let’s have a laugh at the absolute absurdity of the NHL. Ferda.

Lace up your skates and keep your head on a swivel because we’re diving deep into the frosty world of rink-side humor. From the eternal struggle of Canadian teams to the literal “ice in their veins” toughness of the players, these memes are a top-shelf celebration of the sport we love to stress about.

Comic strip featuring country flags discussing the Stanley Cup drought in a funny hockey meme.
Woman making a disgusted face then a relieved face regarding being down in hockey playoffs.
Social media post joke about hockey players using sports slang while talking to their parents.
Pie chart humorously illustrating why a fan's hockey team loses using a very large orange slice.
Aging meme format showing Canada reminiscing about World Junior dominance while other flags lead them away.
Inception style meme of NHL referees reviewing a video of themselves reviewing a hockey play.
Movie warrior with spears in his chest captioned to show hockey players' toughness during games.
Cartoon character becoming extremely muscular by doing one push-up every time a specific hockey team loses.

The inception meme about the refs reviewing the review is too accurate. It basically slows the game down to a crawl. And the pie chart about why we lose? That big orange slice of “bad luck” feels personal. These memes capture the specific pain and glory of being a rink rat.

If you are ready for the next period, keep the chirps coming. We suggest checking out nhl humor, hockey player logic, and stanley cup memes for more on-ice entertainment.
