FY26 Seasonal direction

​​The task sounds straightforward enough: to develop a creative vision that works for the entirety of the FY26 season and seamlessly shifts from story to story. This visual language would need to be editorial one moment and commercial the next, all without becoming fragmented or fatigued. 

This task required building a flexible creative engine that could effectively shape shift, adapting from one phase to another. ​The FY26 Seasonal Direction was about establishing a narrative that empowers designers to create, not simply produce, that would elevate the experience for our fans, and quietly keep the entire brand on the rails.

​What you see on the surface is the energy of a high performing NHL team. Behind the scenes is a deliberately built framework designed to scale, adapt and perform under pressure all season long.
