Montreal ranked as top NHL city for Pittsburgh fans to visit

Montreal has been ranked as the top NHL city for fans from Pittsburgh to visit, according to a series of articles by The Athletic reporter Josh Yohe. Yohe, who covers the Pittsburgh Penguins, evaluated various NHL cities based on factors including distance and atmosphere.

The Bell Centre received high praise for having one of the best atmospheres and being one of the premier arenas in the league. Beyond the hockey venue, Yohe recommended exploring Montreal itself, specifically highlighting Old Montreal and Sainte-Catherine Street. While noting that the city is frequently under construction and can experience cold weather, the ranking places Montreal ahead of other cities such as Vancouver, Tampa Bay, and Florida.
