Hockey is woven into Canadian and northern US life, from outdoor rinks to packed arenas. Rivalries such as Canadiens against Maple Leafs, Rangers against Islanders and Oilers against Flames fill the calendar. Fans also follow junior and college prospects long before draft day.
The NHL was founded in 1917 in Montreal and grew from a handful of Canadian clubs into a continental league. The Original Six are the Bruins, Blackhawks, Red Wings, Canadiens, Rangers and Maple Leafs. The Canadiens hold the record for most Stanley Cup wins, and Wayne Gretzky remains the sport's most celebrated scorer. Vegas joined in 2017 and Seattle in 2021, while the Utah franchise began as the Utah Hockey Club in 2024 before becoming the Mammoth.
