The National Hockey League (NHL) is the premier professional ice hockey league in North America, featuring 32 teams across the United States and Canada. Founded in 1917, the NHL has grown into one of the major sports leagues globally, known for its fast-paced gameplay, passionate fan base, and iconic history. The league is divided into two conferences—the Eastern and Western Conferences—each containing two divisions. Throughout the regular season, teams compete for playoff positioning, culminating in the prestigious Stanley Cup Playoffs, where the best teams vie for one of the most coveted trophies in sports.

The NHL operates under a structured format that includes an 82-game regular season followed by a multi-round playoff series. Teams earn points based on wins and overtime results, with the top-performing teams advancing to the postseason. The league is home to many legendary franchises such as the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Chicago Blackhawks, and continues to expand its global reach through events like the Winter Classic, Global Series, and All-Star Weekend. With a rich legacy and evolving talent pool, the NHL remains a cornerstone of professional ice hockey and a leading force in international sports entertainment.
