Once again with little shock the average cost of ticket prices across the NHL rose roughly 4.4% from the previous year to $62.18 per stub. Of course the Toronto Maple Leafs are found at the top with the most expensive highest average season ticket price at $113.66 which is up roughly 2.4% from last season.

The 2015 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks come in with the 4th highest average ticket price of $78.80 in the league. Sometimes success surely does pay off as the team has captured 3 Stanley Cups in the last 6 years. The runner-up Tampa Bay Lightning had the 3rd cheapest average ticket price at $44.50 in the league.

Surprisingly enough the Florida Panthers decreased their average ticket price more than 18% from last season to come in as the least expensive ticket for the 2014-15 season. In all, twenty-five teams increased their ticket prices by at least 1% or more.
