You can't go wrong with the timeless classics.

Pop Culture Phenoms
2026 was the year of Stranger Things fever, and our hockey crew didn't miss a beat. Karen Thomson dressed as Eleven, chowing down on Eggo waffles between segments, while Nick Kypreos channeled his inner Demogorgon, terrifying viewers with his eerie resemblance to the creature.
For a pop culture costume that's sure to score, look for characters that resonate with your audience. And remember, the more creative your interpretation, the better. Like when Doug MacLean dressed as WandaVision's Agatha Harkness, bewitching viewers with his enchanting analysis.
Hockey Heroes and Villains
Our sport is rich with legends, and 2026 saw some fantastic interpretations. Ron MacLean channeled his inner Wayne Gretzky, complete with a vintage Edmonton Oilers jersey and a stickhandling demonstration that had fans cheering. Meanwhile, John Shannon terrified viewers as the Grim Reaper, symbolizing the fate of many a poor defenseman who crossed him.
For a hockey-themed costume that's both fun and respectful, consider paying homage to your favorite player or coach. Just be prepared for the inevitable comparisons – and the challenge of living up to their legendary status!
DIY Masterpieces
Sometimes, the best costumes are the ones you make yourself. In 2026, we saw some incredible DIY creations, like Cassie Campbell-Pascall's hockey stick catwalk, constructed from old sticks and painted to resemble a glamorous runway. And who could forget Scott Oake's hockey puck piñata, filled with candy and hung from the ceiling for a mid-show treat?
Get creative with your costume this year, and don't be afraid to repurpose old hockey gear. You'd be surprised what you can create with a little imagination and some hot glue. Just remember to leave enough time for testing – nothing ruins a good costume like a malfunctioning prop!
