The NHL is a big thing in the world of ice hockey. Getting into the National Hockey League is any player's dream.
Beyond the players, however, fans are just as obsessed with the sport. Not just them, but even some celebrities love the NHL so much, they always take to their social handles to support their favorites.
These celebrities range from actors to singers and just about every entertainment industry out there. That said, here are some of the most famous followers of the NHL.
#1. Jon Hamm
The Emmy-winning actor grew up in St. Louis and is a die-hard Blues fan. Because of his devotion, when the Blues won their first Stanley Cup in 2019, the players invited Hamm to the celebration and cheered as the Mad Men star drank beer from the trophy.

Hamm was recently a good luck charm when he walked into the booth and called the action as the Blues rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Anaheim Ducks 6-3.

#5. Eli Manning
