#NHLPeachy #GermanyPeachy NHL and NHLPA Announce First-Ever NHL Regular Season Games in Munich and Cologne as Part of 2027 NHL Global Series Games in Germany

Boston Bruins to Play Two Regular Season Games in Munich; Edmonton Oilers to Play Two Regular Season Games in Cologne

The National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) and National Hockey League (NHL) today announced that for the first-time ever, Munich and Cologne will host NHL regular season games during the 2027-28 NHL season. The 2027 NHL Global Series Germany will feature the Boston Bruins playing two games in JJ Peterka’s home city of Munich at SAP Garden. Also, as part of the 2027 NHL Global Series Germany, the Edmonton Oilers will play two games in Leon Draisaitl’s native city of Cologne at Lanxess Arena.

Today’s announcement furthers the NHL’s and NHLPA’s long-term international growth strategy in Germany, which includes strategic investment in growing the game through grassroots activations, content and other fan engagement initiatives, and forging new, long-term business partnerships. The NHL and NHLPA’s plans, as demonstrated today, include bringing more live, regular season games to Germany. More details including ticketing and opponents will be announced during the 2026-27 regular season.

“There is no better way to experience the speed, skill and excitement of NHL hockey than live and in person. The National Hockey League is thrilled to bring our first-ever regular season games to the passionate fans in Munich and Cologne,” said Bill Daly, NHL Deputy Commissioner. “These events represent an important step in our commitment to grow the game in Germany. By bringing more NHL games to one of Europe’s most dynamic hockey markets, we hope to continue to deepen engagement amongst our fans, partners and local communities, while at the same time creating a significant opportunity to grow the game throughout the country.”

“The NHL Global Series games in 2027 bring two of the NHL’s best players in Leon Draisaitl and JJ Peterka back to play in front of their hometown fans,” said Marty Walsh, NHLPA Executive Director. “Germany has a proud hockey tradition, and these NHL Global Series games are part of the League and NHLPA’s ongoing commitment to build meaningful connections between NHL players and the German marketplace.”

The upcoming 2027 NHL Global Series Germany games in Munich and Cologne represent another key milestone in the League’s expanding global footprint. The games will mark the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh NHL Regular-Season games played in Germany, with the first dating back to Oct. 8, 2011, when the Buffalo Sabres faced the Los Angeles Kings at O2 World in Berlin. The NHL and NHLPA will bring NHL Regular Season games to Germany for at least the next three seasons, starting with this year’s 2026 NHL Global Series Germany on December 18 and 20, 2026 at PSD Bank Dome, featuring the Ottawa Senators and Chicago Blackhawks. A complete history of NHL Regular-Season games played outside North America can be found here.

The 2027 NHL Global Series Germany games will also showcase the strength of German-developed NHL talent, led by native stars who continue to elevate the country’s hockey presence on the global stage. Edmonton Oilers’ forward and Cologne native Leon Draisaitl is the highest-scoring German player in NHL history, with more than double the points of the next highest scorer, and has earned multiple League awards since being drafted third overall in 2014. In 2025-26, Draisaitl became the first German player to record 1,000 career NHL points and captained the country to its best finish at an Olympic tournament that featured NHL participation (6th place) – topping Team Germany with seven points in five games. Draisaitl and NHLPA Goals & Dreams have partnered to donate 58 complete sets of hockey equipment to Kölner Haie youth teams.

Boston Bruins’ forward and Munich native JJ Peterka has topped the 20-goal mark in three of his four full NHL seasons, including a 25-goal performance for the Utah Mammoth in 2025-26 (25-22—47 in 82 GP). A second-round draft pick (34th overall) by the Buffalo Sabres in 2020, Peterka has already skated in 320 career NHL games at the age of 24, for the Sabres and Mammoth, scoring 92 goals and adding 105 assists for 197 points – already among the top 10 German scorers in NHL history. He joined Draisaitl on the 2026 German Olympic Team at Milano/Cortina, contributing one goal and three assists in five games.

The NHL continues to demonstrate its commitment to the long-term growth of hockey in Germany through grassroots programs and community engagement initiatives. Central to these efforts is the expansion of NHL Street Hockey in regions such as North Rhine-Westphalia, helping create a lasting legacy and broaden access to the sport in communities hosting NHL games, alongside initiatives such as Hockey Day in Germany and the NHL Global Fan Tour. Looking ahead, the League will expand its school-based initiatives, youth development programs and fan engagement activities, strengthening participation and helping foster a new generation of players, families and fans throughout the country.

The premier New England pickleball brand brings its largest location to Greater Hartford: 12 courts, two floors, a full bar and mezzanine, and year-round programming opening in October 2026.

The Greater Hartford community welcomes Boston Pickle Club Windsor, located at 20 Day Hill Road. At 37,000 square feet, the facility will be the largest Boston Pickle Club location and a premier indoor pickleball destination.

The two-floor club will feature 12 Cushion X courts, 20 ft+ ceilings, a bar and outdoor patio, a mezzanine overlooking the courts, a pro shop, locker rooms with showers, and a dedicated event space.

Boston Pickle Club was co-founded by ATP professional and six-time national Platform Tennis champion Johan du Randt, three-time national champion Stephen Mitchell, and entrepreneur Steve Hauck.

"Windsor just felt like the right next step for Boston Pickle Club," said Mike Wilmot, Chief Growth Officer.

We're taking everything we've learned from Hyde Park and Norwell and raising the bar higher with 12 indoor courts, year-round programming, and a space to play, connect, and build community.”

BPC Windsor will offer leagues, tournaments, clinics, private instruction, DUPR-based open play, youth and community programming, social events, corporate outings, and private events, and corporate sponsorship opportunities for local partners. Members will have access to all Boston Pickle Club locations.

The facility is scheduled to open in October 2026, with discounted early membership promotions available later this month.

#CulturedPeachy @Smithsonian #BostonPeachy #BigAppleBusiness Museum of American Finance to Open Free Community Museum on Boston’s Commonwealth Pier

The Museum of American Finance, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, will open its new exhibit headquarters on Commonwealth Pier in the Boston Seaport on Friday, July 3. Admission to the 5,400 sq ft Museum will be free of charge, reflecting its core mission of making financial education accessible to all.

The Museum worked with the renowned firm G&A Strategy and Design to create world-class exhibits that draw from the Museum’s collections—while integrating the latest technologies in a partnership with the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT). The Museum will feature seven inaugural exhibits in Boston:“America in Circulation,” an interactive currency exhibit featuring hundreds of the most beautiful and interesting examples of American money, on loan from the collection of Mark R. Shenkman

“Alexander Hamilton Experience,” featuring a multilingual AI-generated Hamilton, developed in partnership with FCAT

“A Financial Revolution,” bringing to life the founding of the US financial system, to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary

“Investing in US Financial History,” a six-station interactive timeline enabling visitors to take a deeper dive into the history of the US financial markets, from the 18th century through today

“Hub of Innovation,” on the role Massachusetts has played in the nation’s financial development (sponsored by MassMutual)

“The Future of Finance,” on the worlds of blockchain, crypto, tokenization and the evolution of financial technology (sponsored by Bitwise)

“Personal Finance,” a hands-on exploration of the tools needed to achieve and maintain a healthy financial life, presented by the Personal Finance Institute

The exhibits were guest curated by some of the nation’s leading experts in finance, economics and numismatic history, including Rahul Arora, Ric Edelman, Mark Higgins and Richard Sylla. The lead sponsors are Fidelity Investments, Bitwise, MassMutual, and Rosalind E. and Mark R. Shenkman, as well as founders John E. Herzog and the Rodney S. Klein Stock Market Museum & Library.

“We are thrilled that our opening in Boston coincides with our nation’s 250th anniversary, as our exhibits will give school groups, tourists and the local community an opportunity to view the country’s founding financial documents, many of which have never before been on public display,” said MoAF President David Cowen. “Visitors will leave our Museum with a greater understanding and appreciation for our nation’s financial history—much of it centered in the Boston Harbor area—as well as knowledge that will help them better their own financial lives.”

In 2025, the Museum announced it had signed a 10-year lease for exhibit space at Commonwealth Pier, the waterfront destination in Boston’s Seaport being developed by Pembroke, the international real estate business.

"We are delighted to welcome a free museum with an important educational mission to Commonwealth Pier—improving financial literacy,” said Kristan McLaughlin, Director, Customer Experience and Asset Operations at Pembroke. “The Museum’s focus on American financial history complements Commonwealth Pier’s historic ties to Boston’s maritime and commercial legacy, and its mission furthers our commitment to creating a new waterfront destination designed for exploration and connection."

The Museum’s opening in Boston marks the first time it will have a permanent exhibit headquarters since it left its former home at 48 Wall Street in New York City in 2018. Founded in 1989, the Museum has a 37-year track record of creating engaging, state-of-the-art exhibits in New York and around the country, with traveling exhibits and temporary installations bringing its collections to national audiences since the closing of its Wall Street space. Its rich archive spans the entirety of American finance and houses one of the nation’s most important collections of 18th century US financial documents, including multiple letters and documents from Alexander Hamilton that established the basis for the US financial system.

The Museum’s events and educational initiatives—offered for free in both virtual and in-person formats—currently reach more than 10,000 students and adults annually. The Museum will add Boston-based programs via partnerships with Boston area community organizations and educational institutions to supplement its existing programming.

The Museum of American Finance, a chartered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, seeks to improve understanding of the influence of financial institutions and capital markets on the US and global economies, and on individuals’ lives. The Museum is dedicated to educating the public on finance and financial history through exhibits, financial literacy programs and public events.

#BostonPeachy New Hotel approved in Boston's Seaport District

New Hotel approved in Boston's Seaport District near Thomas M. Menino Convention Center

438-Key Urban Lifestyle Hotel Added to the GHIG Campus

DGH Hotel Partners JV, LLC, a joint venture between Global Hospitality Investment Group ("GHIG") and a global investment management firm, is proud to announce the approval of a new hotel on Anchor Street, across from the Thomas M. Menino Convention and Exhibition Center.

The new urban lifestyle hotel will join the existing Aloft and Element Boston Seaport hotels as the newest component of a 968-key hotel and retail campus owned by the joint venture under a long-term land lease with the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority ("MCCA"). The Boston Zoning Commission ("Zoning Commission") approved the project on February 11, 2026, following the Boston Planning Department's ("Planning Department") unanimous Board vote last month.

When completed, the final phase of the three-hotel development, initiated in 2016, will add 438 guest rooms across 160,000 square feet. The project will feature a new landscaped entry plaza on Anchor Street, a unique indoor/outdoor lobby bar, and a rooftop amenity space.

The campus currently includes approximately 18,000 square feet of retail space on D Street across from the Convention Center's Lawn on D, and the combined development will reach 968 guest rooms across its three hotel brands. Designed to complement the modern aesthetic of the neighboring Aloft and Element hotels, the new hotel will further solidify the area as a premier destination for both business and leisure travelers.

"We're thrilled to bring a new hotel to the heart of Boston's Seaport District, across from the Convention Center," said Kevin Colket, Founder & CEO of Global Hospitality Investment Group. "We look forward to growing our presence in Boston by expanding our footprint next to the Aloft and Element Hotels and completing the vision of delivering a mixed-use campus with a collection of hotel brands and active retail that supports the Convention Center and enhances the vibrancy of D Street. We are excited to work with the new leadership of the MCCA and believe our additional rooms will help to support the Convention Center's anticipated expansion goals. The tourism and hospitality industry is very strong here, and we're excited to bring a new lodging experience for guests, significant economic activity, and additional jobs to the City and Commonwealth."

During the recent permitting process, the project earned support from a variety of community stakeholders, including neighborhood leadership, local labor/trade representatives, and hospitality industry advocates. "We are grateful for all of the time, leadership and guidance provided by the City's Planning Department and Zoning Commission, along with the local elected delegation, neighborhood residents, and the MCCA," said Kevin Colket.

The 160,000 square foot project will be sustainably designed and constructed to meet LEED Gold Certification as an all-electric, resilient facility. The hotel will further activate the neighborhood with a pedestrian-friendly streetscape, improved connectivity, and the creation of hundreds of local jobs.

Lifestyle Brand Honors its New England Heritage with an Exclusive Collection Celebrating Rowing's Most Iconic Event

 vineyard vines, the lifestyle brand known for its smiling pink whale and signature coastal aesthetic, is proud to celebrate its fifth year as the Official Style of the Head Of The Charles Regatta (HOCR). Founded on Martha's Vineyard nearly three decades ago, vineyard vines' enduring partnership with HOCR is both a nod to its New England roots and a tribute to the community traditions that shaped the brand.

vineyard vines

To mark the milestone, vineyard vines has released an exclusive HOCR collection, available online and in select stores, that captures the energy and timeless style of Boston's most celebrated rowing event. The limited-edition line features sweatshirts, short- and long-sleeve tees, hats, and ties designed with classic regatta colors, oar-inspired motifs, and vineyard vines' signature coastal flair, perfect for athletes, fans, and families alike. Additionally, vineyard vines will have an exclusive pop-up store on site during HOCR weekend.

"Being part of the Head Of The Charles year after year is more than just a sponsorship, but a tribute to the deep roots that we have here in New England," said Ian Murray, Co-Founder of vineyard vines. "HOCR has always been one of those special events that truly captures the energy and tradition of New England in the fall, and we're proud to be a part of it."

"I've been going to the Head Of The Charles since the late '80s, and we've had countless friends of the brand compete at the regatta throughout the years," said Shep Murray, Co-Founder of vineyard vines. "HOCR has such a rich legacy, and vineyard vines is proud to celebrate that tradition through our apparel and support for the athletes, families, and spectators who make it so special."

This year marks the fifth consecutive year that vineyard vines has partnered with HOCR, the world's largest and most prestigious rowing competition that brings hundreds of thousands of people to the bank of the Charles River every October. This ongoing partnership celebrates a mutual love for Boston and a shared commitment to the traditions, performance, and dedication that define both vineyard vines and HOCR.

"The vineyard vines brand has become a true part of the Head Of The Charles experience," said Tori Stevens, Executive Director of the Head Of The Charles Regatta. "As we celebrate our 60th year, it feels fitting to honor five years of partnership with a brand that so authentically reflects the tradition and timeless style of the regatta."

The HOCR x vineyard vines collection will be available online at vineyardvines.com, in select retail stores in Massachusetts, and on site at the vineyard vines tent at the regatta from October 17-19. The brand encourages all athletes and spectators to stop by their tent, located on the Charles River next to the Elliot Bridge enclosure (992 Soldiers Field Road, Boston, MA).

ABOUT VINEYARD VINES

WHY IT MATTERS: Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. and 1 in 1,000 men in their lifetime. In 2025 alone, an estimated 316,950 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 42,170 women will die from the disease. Approximately 2,800 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 510 will die from it. However, some experts say one-third of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. could be prevented with universal access to modern treatments.

In MASSACHUSETTS, approximately 7,240 will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 710 will die from the disease this year. Susan G. Komen provides direct support to people in Massachusetts through its Patient Care Center. In fiscal year 2025, Komen provided assistance to 452 patients, including $124,000 in financial assistance to eligible people in active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer.

In CONNECTICUT, approximately 3,790 will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 420 will die from the disease this year. Susan G. Komen provides direct support to people in Connecticut through its Patient Care Center. In fiscal year 2025, Komen provided assistance to 260 patients, including $74,400 in financial assistance to eligible people in active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer.

“The work Komen does for people with breast cancer, survivors and those with increased risk of breast cancer is not possible without the MORE THAN PINK Walks in New England and the critical money we raise from our generous supporters,” said Nicole Marohn, Executive Director of Komen New England. “We look forward to bringing together the Massachusetts and Connecticut communities this fall and uniting around our goal of creating a world where we do not lose another life to this disease.”

 The National Hockey League, Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins have unveiled the logo for the 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series™ today. The Lightning will face off against the Bruins at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on February 1, 2026. The game will mark the first time in League history that an outdoor game will be played in a football stadium in the state of Florida, the culmination of a month-long celebration of hockey in the Sunshine State. 

The 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series™ identity draws inspiration from swashbuckling history and culture in Tampa Bay. Additional elements featured in the logo include typography inspired by hand-drawn treasure maps. A hidden lightning bolt in the tattered sail atop the main mast serves as a subtle nod to the home team. The logo was developed by the NHL’s Creative Services Department and Fanbrandz.

The 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series™ will mark the second of two outdoor games hosted by the state of Florida. Before the Lightning face the Bruins, the 2025 Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers will play the New York Rangers at loanDepot park, home of Major League Baseball’s Miami Marlins, in Miami on Jan. 2, 2026. The two outdoor contests will celebrate the explosive growth of hockey in Florida over the last three decades. In the more than 30 years since the NHL expanded into Florida, the Panthers and Lightning have enjoyed significant success, including most recently with each of the last six Stanley Cup Final series featuring one of the Florida franchises.

The most recent Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series™ games were held at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio (2025) and at Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey (2024). The first NHL Stadium Series game was held in 2014 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles as part of an effort to host outdoor games in unique, non-traditional locations. To date, more than 2.24 million fans have attended the NHL’s 43 regular season outdoor games.

#PIlotPeachy JetBlue Runs on Dunkin’® With New Special Livery

“Brewing Altitude” celebrates nearly two decades of partnership between JetBlue and Dunkin’ serving travelers together

JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) and Dunkin’, America’s largest coffee and donuts brand, today unveiled a new Dunkin’-themed livery in honor of their longstanding partnership. The vibrant design of the freshly painted Airbus A320 aircraft, appropriately named Brewing Altitude, features Dunkin’s iconic pink and orange branding, brought to life with a playful donut and coffee motif. The aircraft’s new look was revealed at a celebratory event in Boston where both brands have deep roots and a loyal following.

The JetBlue and Dunkin’ partnership started in 2006 when JetBlue began fueling its customers with Dunkin’s Original Blend coffee at 35,000 feet. In 2011, Dunkin’ became the airline’s exclusive onboard coffee provider. Now, the two iconic brands are taking their partnership to new heights as the aircraft makes its way across JetBlue’s network.

“Dunkin’ has been part of the JetBlue journey for nearly two decades, and we’re proud to showcase this partnership with a livery that’s as fun and bold as the brands behind it,” said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. “With our shared Boston heritage and focus on delighting loyal customers, this collaboration brings together two fan-favorite brands in a way only JetBlue and Dunkin’ can.”

“This is about more than coffee in the sky; it’s about two beloved brands coming together through a shared passion for meeting people where they are and fueling them on their journey,” said Scott Murphy, president of Dunkin’. “From Boston to beyond, we’re proud to see our iconic pink and orange take flight with JetBlue and celebrate the fans who’ve made Dunkin’ part of their everyday ritual, even at 35,000 feet.”

Monday Pick-Me-Up: Sip and Soar to Rewards

To bring a little joy to the start of the week and celebrate the livery, JetBlue and Dunkin’ are offering status for customers who fly on Brewing Altitude on Mondays beginning May 19 through September 1a. TrueBlue members who fly on eligible routes on the aircraft will receive Mosaic 1 status and Dunkin’ Rewards® members will earn Boosted status for three months. Current Mosaic members will receive 20 bonus tiles, applied to their 2025 tile tracker. Existing Boosted Status members will earn two times the number of points on top of the base points earned for all qualifying purchases for three months.

With this, JetBlue and Dunkin’ are rewarding loyal customers with a chance to elevate their status while fueling their Monday travel. Terms and conditions apply. For full terms and to view the routes that Brewing Altitude will fly each Monday of the promotion, visit jetblue.com/sale/jetblue-dunkin-monday-pick-me-up.

Brewed in Boston, Soaring Beyond

A pillar of the Boston community for 75 years, Dunkin' is the go-to coffee brand in the City of Champions, making this pairing with JetBlue a natural fit as Boston’s biggest leisure airline. JetBlue proudly leads the way in both Boston and New England, boasting the most mainline service from Boston with approximately 30 percent more mainline seats than the next largest carrier. As part of JetBlue’s expansive presence at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), the airline offers the most flights from Boston and New England to California, Florida and the Caribbean than any other carrier. The new special livery underscores JetBlue’s investment in New England where both brands are deeply rooted.
