NHL Hockey - Get your tickets!

If it is fast paced action, with occasional jaw breaking fights, that you look for in a sport, then you probably already are a fan of the ever popular National Hockey League (NHL). Since it's inception in 1917 (after the WHA was dissolved), the National Hockey League has attracted millions of viewers worldwide, making it one of the foremost major league professional games in the world.

NHL - Not just a sport, an American tradition

NHL has 30 hockey teams listed on its roster. Although it was founded in Canada, 24 of the present hockey teams are based in the United States. If you thought that a national border is all this sport has transcended in the 90 years (89th Season) since it started, think again. Players from European countries like Sweden, Finland, Netherlands and even Asian countries like Russia and South Korea, among others, have risen to prominence over the past few years. A league with a 90 Year old history is bound to generate some superstars who have gone on to become idols for many. The NHL has given many such 'Gods' to the world, in the form of all time great, Wayne Gretzky, or the current goaltender Dominik Hasek, to name a few.

The Stanley Cup - The ultimate prize in the NHL, the Stanley Cup, is presented to the winner of the best-of-four Finals held at the end of the season. Due to the huge frenzy surrounding the league, the Cup is often referred to as the Holy Grail by NHL fans. Hockey teams winning the cup are revered by their fans to no extent. The 'legendary' teams include the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs, who lead the count for the most number of Stanley Cups won.

NHL in the recent years

Although the NHL was formed in 1917, the 2004-05 lockout between the league and its players has led to the official season count to be one less than the number of years since inception. However, the action packed NHL is very much back, with some changes being made in the rules to make the game more interesting. These changes have also been effective in eliminating the 'lockout' memories, and the fan support has increased tremendously.
