General Hockey Pages
Two pages cover hockey beyond the team and player context: the NHL logo and a general Ice Hockey Player page.

Coloring the Ice Hockey Player page: this general page shows a hockey player in action or a standing pose without team-specific colors. It works with any team palette or can be colored in generic hockey colors.
Printable PDF and Online NHL Coloring Pages
The player portrait pages reward printing for close skin tone and equipment detail work. Team logo pages work well on screen for their high-contrast flat fills.
What These Pages Do
The Stanley Cup is not a replica. Every other major sports championship trophy is a newly manufactured award presented to each year’s champion-the NFL, NBA, and MLB all present freshly built trophies each season.
The Stanley Cup is the original Cup. Lord Stanley of Preston, then Governor General of Canada, purchased it in 1892 for approximately $48.67. It was donated as a challenge trophy for the best amateur hockey team in Canada. The NHL took exclusive possession of it in 1947.
When a team wins the Stanley Cup, they receive that same physical object, extended with new bands added each decade to engrave every winning player’s name since 1893. Each player gets a day alone with the Cup. They take it home, to hospitals, to pools, to parties, to their hometowns around the world. It travels with a designated Keeper of the Cup from the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The players in this set are either already engraved on the Cup or have defined careers in relation to it. The logos are the crests under which those names were earned.
The AAP notes that coloring activities featuring professional sports leagues and their team insignia support children’s engagement with regional identity, team loyalty, and the visual design of professional sports, which are central to many families’ shared cultural experiences.
Art therapy practitioners note that sports logo coloring, with its high-contrast, flat-fill design requirements, is among the most accessible entry points for children and adults who have not previously engaged with coloring, as the clear color areas and official reference palettes remove uncertainty about color choice.
How to Color NHL Coloring Pages
Team logos require specific colors, not approximations. NHL franchises have official primary, secondary, and accent colors defined in their brand standards. Using a warm gold for the Pittsburgh Penguins rather than a yellow, a forest green for the Minnesota Wild rather than a lime green, or a burgundy for the Colorado Avalanche rather than a standard red makes the difference between an accurate logo and a generic one. Look up the team’s official colors before starting.
Original Six logos are the most recognizable. The six original NHL franchises (Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Detroit, New York Rangers, and Chicago) have the most widely recognized logos. These six make natural starting points for the logo section because the palette requirements are well-known to most hockey fans: Montreal’s red and blue, Toronto’s blue and white, Boston’s black and gold.
Player jerseys: number and name on the back. On player portrait pages, the jersey number and nameplate on the back of the jersey are typically white letters on a dark jersey or dark letters on a white jersey. The number is the most visible identifier on any hockey jersey.
Goaltender pages have more color than skater pages. Tim Thomas and Carey Price are goaltenders whose equipment includes a distinctive blocker pad and glove visible in portrait poses, plus often more elaborate mask and pad designs. Goaltender pages typically have more surface area to color than skater portraits.
