How does the NHL Schedule Works?
The National Hockey League (NHL) is a North American professional ice hockey league with 32 clubs, 25 in the United States and seven in Canada. It is regarded as the world’s best professional ice hockey league.
At the end of each hockey season, the Stanley Cup, North America’s oldest professional sports trophy, is presented to the league playoff champion. With thrilling matchups and fierce competition, today NHL games promise to deliver excitement on the ice.
Understanding Pro-Hockey Season
How does the NHL entire season work:
| Venue | Date | Details |
|---|---|---|
| NHL Entry Draft | Late June | This venue is where teams recruit young players for the next season. |
| Preseason | Mid-September | NHL teams play around six games. It’s a good chance for coaches to evaluate their team before the beginning of the hockey regular Season. |
| Regular Season | October to April | Each team plays 82 games in order to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Points structure:
The best team in the regular Season is awarded with the Presidents’ Trophy. |
| Stanley Cup Playoffs | April to June | It’s the final tournament where the best eight teams of each NHL conference battle, in a best-of-seven games series, in order to reach the Stanley Cup Trophy. |

Stanley Cup History
The Stanley Cup, over two decades older than the NHL, is the league’s championship trophy. It originated in 1892 as the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, given by Lord Stanley of Preston.
The NHL took control in 1926, making it the sole North American pro league naming its playoffs after its championship trophy.
Since its inception in 1917, the NHL has determined its champion through playoffs, evolving the tournament system over time.
