Including digital collectibles that showcase historical moments, past and present season game highlights, and NHL stars top plays.<\/p>\n<p>The marketplace will also feature gamified collection experiences, specialty packs, and 3D interactive trophy rooms where users can display their collections. Among these offerings there are also dynamic NFTs designed to change based on current team data.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, fans would be able to buy, sell, collect and trade the collectibles on the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>However, the announcement did not state which blockchain would host the marketplace.<\/p>\n<h2>NFTs in the sporting space<\/h2>\n<p>The NHL\u00a0 joins a long list of sporting institutions that have embraced digital collectibles.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the NBA launched <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/products\/nba-topshots\/\">Top Shot NFTs<\/a>, its digital collectibles marketplace, in partnership with DapperLabs.

This is so as crypto companies strive to stay afloat as the severe sell-off continues in the market.<\/p>\n<p>FTX recently pulled out of a partnership deal with Los Angeles Angels.
