Hockey Tickets - The Schedule
The National Hockey League (NHL) is
an unincorporated not-for-profit association which operates
a major professional ice
hockey league of
30 franchised member clubs, of which 24 are located
in the United States and 6 in Canada. Headquartered
in New York City, the NHL is widely considered to
be the premier professional ice hockey league in
the world, and
one of the major
professional sports leagues of the United States
and Canada. The Stanley
Cup, the oldest professional sports trophy in
North America, is
awarded annually to the league playoff champion at
the end of each season.
The league was organized in 1917 in Montreal,
Quebec, Canada after
the suspension of operations of its predecessor organization,
the National
Hockey Association (NHA), which had been founded in 1909. It
started with four teams and, through a series of expansions,
contractions, and relocations, the league is now composed
of 30 active franchises. After a "lockout" that
led to the cancellation of the entire 2004–05
season, the league resumed play under a new collective
bargaining agreement that included a salary
cap. In 2009,
the NHL enjoyed record-high sponsorships, crowds and television
viewers.
