About NHL®

The National Hockey League (NHL)® operates a professional ice hockey league of 30 franchised clubs, of which 24 are located in the United States and 6 in Canada. 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. Every year, The Stanley Cup, the oldest professional sports trophy in North America, is awarded to the league playoff champion.

The 2010 Stanley Cup play-offs saw the largest audience in the history of the sport: this success has resulted in a 66 percent rise in NHL advertising and sponsorship revenue.

While the NHL® is very prominent in Canada, where hockey is the most popular of the four major sports (MLB, NFL, and NBA), it continues to gain popularity in America. In 2008, with the shift toward using digital technology, the NH®L was able to market to fans and capitalize on that growing popularity. As a result, in 2009 the NHL® drew a record number of sponsors and television viewers. In the United States, NHL® games are aired nationally by Versus and NBC.

Available for USA & Canada.
