NHL helmet sponsors for the 2023-24 season are Goodwill, Kiewit, Toyota, Bell, Benjamin, Tata Consultancy Service, and many others.

After allowing the teams to place ads on their helmets in 2020, the NHL also permitted the franchises to put sponsor patches on their jerseys beginning the 2022-23 season.

These sponsorships help the franchises make considerable income, while the sponsor companies get an opportunity to promote their brand to a very large audience globally.

Most of the National Hockey League teams have already partnered with different companies as their official sponsors of helmets and jerseys.

Anaheim Ducks

The OC Health Care Agency (OC HCA) and the Ducks started a multiyear partnership in October 2022 on all Anaheim Ducks player headgears.

According to the deal, the Ducks franchise will have brand placement of OC Navigator on their head gears for all the home and away matches.
