The NHL’s Stanley Pup, a heartwarming showcase of adoptable rescue dogs, is set to air on June 8, coinciding with the excitement of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final. This unique event will feature all 32 NHL teams, each represented by a puppy, many of which will be available for adoption through the Brandywine Valley SPCA.
This season, the St. Louis Blues proudly present their canine ambassador, named Jordan Bone-Ington. With a playful nod to the team’s goaltender, this spirited pup is sure to capture the hearts of fans and animal lovers alike.
The show is scheduled to premiere at 8:30 p.m. CT on truTV, with a simulcast on HBO Max in the U.S. and an earlier airing at 7 p.m. CT on Sportsnet in Canada. This year’s event promises to be a star-studded affair, featuring a roster of celebrity appearances that includes Kenan Thompson, Flavor Flav, Anthony Anderson, Jean Smart, and many others.
In addition to the celebrity guests, several NHL players will also make an appearance. Among them are Matthew Schaefer of the New York Islanders, Logan Thompson from the Washington Capitals, and Alex Ovechkin. The event will be brought to life with color and play-by-play commentary from Mark Shunock and Chris Rose, while Alexa Landestoy will provide rink-side reporting.
“Meet our representative for this year’s Stanley Pup! While the competition is ruff, we are pawsitive that this puck hound will bring the same dogged determination as her namesake,” the Blues shared, capturing the spirit of this delightful event. Fans can look forward to a night filled with laughter, heartwarming moments, and the chance to find a new furry friend.
