National Hockey League NHL
The National Hockey League (NHL) is the largest professional ice hockey tournament in North America and the highest level professional ice hockey league in the world. NHL was established in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1917. At the beginning of its establishment, there were 6 teams. After a series of expansions, there are 31 teams temporarily, of which 25 are located in the United States and 6 are located in Canada.
The team is divided into east and west regions, and each region is divided into two divisions. The Stanley Cup, which the NHL League competes every year, is the oldest championship trophy in professional sports. Traditionally, because of the league’s Canadian descent, most of the players are Canadian. In the NHL's active expansion to the United States and its high standards compared to other leagues and the output of ready-made high-level players after the fall of the Eastern European Iron Curtain, the number of European and American players has a significant increase. Even so, half of the players on the roster were still born in Canada.
