More Info on the League
The '''National Hockey League''' ('''NHL''') is a professional [[hockey]] with 30 teams across [[Canada]] and the [[United States]]. Comprised of 30 teams, divided into 2 Conferences and 6 - 5 Team Divisions, the NHL Teams play for the Championship [[Stanley Cup]]. The teams play 82 game seasons, and the top 16 teams (3 top teams from each division plus the next 5 teams from the Conference) from the Regular Season advance to an elimination round where a best of seven series are played between the seeded teams.
<br> Canadian and American players make up the majority of the players in the NHL, however with the collapse of [[communism]] in Eastern [[Europe]], many skilled players have been brought into the league, making it a premier place for playing hockey. The large number of Canadian players and the large support for the sport of hockey make the NHL a popular draw in Canada, with playoff hockey actually drawing more viewers in Canada than in the United States.
