More than three dozen National Hockey League sponsors are activating around the Stanley Cup Playoffs including several new brands: Norwegian Cruise Line, J.P. Wiser’s and Ndax.

U.S. partner Norwegian Cruise Line, which signed on in October, is the presenting sponsor of the NHL Goal of the Year sweepstakes which started May 5 and runs through May 30. Coming off NCL’s season-long sponsorship of Goals of the Week, fans can vote on what they think is the best goal of the regular season and will be entered to win a free 7-day NCL cruise. Runner-up prizes include tickets to the 2026 Discover NHL Winter Classic as well as NHL shop gift cards.

Two new Canadian partners are getting in on the festivities. Canadian whiskey maker J.P. Wiser’s has released Stanley Cup Limited Edition labels for their Deluxe and Aged 10 Years bottles. The bottles are available nationally while supplies last and the brand is promoting them on Instagram.
