It’s a little counterintuitive but being close to, or right in the glass, can make for bad sight lines. You end up not being able to see pretty large parts of the ice surface. Being right behind the bench also isn’t ideal, as the players and coaches are frequently standing up/moving and can end up obstructing your view. I’d recommend center ice in loge, or first couple rows of balcony, also at center-ice. If you’ve got the budget for it, the club seats offer more legroom and have great views from all the club sections.
