The Most Popular Beer in Beer Leagues?

My team usually does the local stuff, if you're from Greater Vancouver you'll recognize the names like Granville Island Brewery or Dead Frog (yuck).
A guy brought Sapporo once, which was pretty good haha.
My team actually has an unspoken rule, it seems. Try to bring a new beer every time, as the cooler gets passed to the new person. Sometimes people do just go with Canadian or Coors, but more often than not it's a local one.

Just fill a trash can with snow from the Zamboni and any brand will do... the cheaper the better!

Surprisingly good topic 
You want something that's light enough to be refreshing and have a couple after the game without getting too buzzed. But you also want something that doesn't taste terrible or like water.
Grain Belt Nordeast is really popular in Minnesota, even though it's only been around a few years. Very drinkable American lager, kind of sweet, rarely skunky. Very refreshing.
Maybe throw a couple microbrews in there for the guys that like variety. I'll try and throw a couple Guinness in the mix too.
And nobody's going to complain if there's some cheap beer at the bottom of the cooler when they go in for thirds or fourths.

Maybe it's a Michigan thing, but Labatt has always been the standard in any league I have played in as well. Not too pretentious and not too refined; something everyone can agree on.
P.S. If you're bringing Bell's for everyone, I want to play on your team!
i dont but two guys on my team do they are rich they dont drink "cheap beer" lol

Guinness in beer league? That's a new one lol
It's my favorite beer of all, but it just seems weird in a lockerroom. It's very drinkable though.

Molson Ex seems to me to be the beer most closely associated with hockey. Perhaps that's because I'm originally from Montreal. I don't actually like it myself (anymore), but that seems to be a 'hockey beer'. I pretty much only drink micros but will drink anything if pressed.

Molson Canadian, Yuengling, Labatt Blue, The other night someone brought Miller Light, someone brought Molson Ice before and then we have some guys who are into craft brews and brought Dogfish World Wide ----basically tastes like wine its so strong.
I work at a national liqour distributor (not a store...we actually sell to the liqour stores/hotels/events) and get deals on beer (7 bucks a 30 pack/24 pack of bottles) and have brought in Victory Golden Monkey and that seemed to do the job.
We are sponsered by a bar so we usually head over for pitchers after every game and end up with Bud Light/Miller Light.

My rink does not allow outside booze and they are nut jobs about it. So we have to buy $3, 16 ounce cans of Labatt from them. They come in a Home Depot bucket filled with ice. Not my favorite beer, I too am more of a craft guy, but it's damn good right when you get off the ice.

My team moved to a Park District rink and we can't have beer there. 
But we used to have Labatt at the old place.

I brought it and the boys loved it. Added points and increased ice time if its ice cold.
