The National Hockey League (NHL) stands as North America's premier professional ice hockey league, featuring 32 teams across the United States and Canada. With 25 US-based and 7 Canadian franchises, the NHL generates annual revenues exceeding $6 billion, making it the world's fifth-highest-grossing sports league. The league's most valuable franchise, the Toronto Maple Leafs, is currently valued at $2.8 billion, followed by the New York Rangers at $2.65 billion.
Recent developments have reshaped the league's landscape, most notably the establishment of a new franchise in Salt Lake City in April 2024, following the suspension of operations of the Arizona Coyotes. The Florida Panthers have emerged as reigning champions after securing their first Stanley Cup title in 2024, defeating the Edmonton Oilers in a historic final series. The league continues to evolve with initiatives focusing on player safety, technological advancement, and expanding its global footprint.
The NHL's commitment to community engagement and fan experience remains strong, with successful marquee events like the Winter Classic outdoor games and the All-Star Weekend drawing significant attention. The league has also made strides in diversity and inclusion, implementing various programmes to broaden the sport's appeal and accessibility. Television partnerships with ESPN and TNT in the United States, alongside Rogers Communications in Canada, have enhanced the league's media presence and reach.
Since its founding in 1917 at Montreal's Windsor Hotel, the NHL has grown from a four-team Canadian league to a major international sports enterprise. The league's rich history includes iconic franchises like the Montreal Canadiens, who hold a record 24 Stanley Cup championships, and legendary players such as Wayne Gretzky, whose records still stand decades later. The NHL's expansion era, particularly from the 1960s onwards, transformed it into a truly continental competition.
