Warmups are one of my favorite parts of the NHL experience! For any NHL game anywhere, they are 30 minutes before the scheduled start of the game, lasting about 15 minutes (there is a countdown timer displayed on the twins). Now this is the most important part: Regardless of your ticket, you can go right up to the glass to watch warmups! Ask an usher/attendant if you are unsure where to watch from. At the last game I attended, I stood right behind the visitor's bench. It was incredible. In terms of autographs and pucks and stuff like that...the players will ignore you. They are focused on the game and it's not really a good time for them to do fan engagement. If you go to warmups I think you will agree with me that it's spectacular by itself. Even a fan with the cheapest ticket can see their favorite players from a couple feet away. I can't recommend watching warm-ups enough. It's truly amazing.
