NHL Hockey

The National Hockey League (NHL) was created in 1917 after the National Hockey Association ceased operations. The first 4 hockey teams were all based in Canada, before the league expanded to the United States in 1924 with the addition of the Boston Bruins. Modern NHL history often begins with the line up known as the “Original Six”, who played in the NHL from 1942 to 1967, before any expansion efforts began. The Original Six teams are the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Detroit Red Wings. Today there are 32 teams that come together from October to April each year to compete for the ultimate victory, Lord Stanley’s Cup. The 2023-2024 NHL season had players from 17 different countries listed on the team rosters. Whether you’re a lifelong hockey fan, or a newcomer to the sport, there’s something truly special about being at the arena for a live NHL game. The players skates against the ice and the percussive hits into the boards are both louder than you’d expect. And you really get a feel for the incredible speed and athleticism of the players. Hockey fans are known for their exuberance and live games are exciting, fun, and loud.

In one word... spectacular! Watching a live NHL game is a completely different experience than watching on television. The atmosphere and energy of hockey fans is on another level and games get loud. Sitting in a frosty hockey arena, hearing the sharp sound of the players skates and the clash of their sticks is so exciting, and you can almost feel it when players slam into the boards. TV broadcasts show great detail, but being at a game in person gives you a true feel for the incredible speed and skill involved in playing hockey. And the excitement of cheering along with thousands of hockey fans is not something you can replicate on your couch. Hockey is listed as the No. 2 most physically demanding sport, after boxing, and it’s a real thrill to watch some of the most skilled athletes in the world zoom past on the ice.
