The National Hockey League is a major ice league in North America made of 30 member clubs that is 23 in the United States and 7 in Canada.
The National Hockey League (NHL) was founded on November 26, 1917, in Montreal after its predecessor, the National Hockey Association (NHA) was dissolved after eight years of operation.
The NHL superseded the NHA as one of the leagues contending for the Stanley Cup, an annual interleague playoff tournament.
However, following a succession of league mergers and closures, the NHL was the only league still contending for the Stanley Cup by 1926.
The NHL, which is now based in New York City, is largely viewed as the world’s finest ice hockey league, as well as one of the main sports leagues in the United States and Canada.
