The origins of nicknames (if known) are noted below. Several of the above are simply shortened names or plays on the current team name or jersey.

  • "Bay Street Bullies" - Toronto Maple Leafs: a play on Philadelphia Flyers' Broad Street Bullies. Originally used by the line composed of Gary Roberts, Shayne Corson and Darcy Tucker due to their gritty style of play and because the team arena is located on Bay Street.
  • "Broad Street Bullies" – Philadelphia Flyers: during the team's Stanley Cup runs during the 1970s, their home ice was the Spectrum on Broad Street in South Philadelphia. The team currently plays in the Wells Fargo Center (which is also on Broad Street).
  • "Buds" – Toronto Maple Leafs: probably based on the team's use of a leaf as a logo.
  • "Cats" - Florida Panthers: the Panther is a cat.
  • "Cheesepuffs" - Philadelphia Flyers: nickname given by rival fans to suggest the Flyer's colour palette resembles that of a cheese puff.
  • "Fishsticks" - New York Islanders: the Islanders' uniforms for two seasons (1995–97) featured a logo of what looked like the Gorton fisherman holding a hockey stick. Rival fans (especially Rangers fans[citation needed]) poked fun at the uniforms, playing up the Gorton's resemblance, hence the derisive nickname.[citation needed]
  • "Les Glorieux" (French, "The Glorious Ones") – Montreal Canadiens
  • "Hogs" - Toronto Maple Leafs: based on Toronto's nickname Hogtown.
  • "The Katanas" - Buffalo Sabres: based off the team (Tokyo Katanas) the imaginary player Taro Tsujimoto was drafted from in 1974 by then Sabres' GM Punch Imlach, Katanas being an approximation for "Sabres" in the Japanese language.
  • "The 'Notes" - St. Louis Blues: abbreviation of "Bluenotes".
  • "'Nucks" – Vancouver Canucks: abbreviation of "Canucks". (Local Press and fans)
  • "Les Rouges" – Montreal Canadiens: after the red colour of their jerseys.
  • "Slugs" - Buffalo Sabres: a disparaging nickname derived from their logo, which resembles a cross between a buffalo and a slug.
  • "Swords" - Buffalo Sabres: a nickname derived from their title, the "sabres", which is a sword.
  • "Sabs", Sabes - Buffalo Sabres: abbreviation of the name "Sabres".
  • "Le Tricolore" (French, "The Tricolour") – Montreal Canadiens: after the flag of France, which has the same colour scheme (blue-white-red).
  • "Southern Stars" - Dallas Stars: as opposed to the North Stars, who they replaced.
  • "Tomales" – Toronto Maple Leafs: taken from the first two letters of the teams full name ('TO'ronto 'MA'aple 'LE'afS).
  • "Dead Wings" - Detroit Red Wings: nickname given by the rivaled Hawks fans.
  • "La sainte flanelle" (French, "The Holy Flannel") - Montreal Canadiens : Maurice Richard came back on the ice after being cut to the head to score the Stanley Cup winning goal against Boston Bruins in 1953. His jersey was full of blood.
