The '''National Hockey League''' ('''NHL'''; {{lang-fr|Ligue nationale de hockey}} {{IPA|fr|liɡ nɑsjɔnal də ɔkɛ|}}, ''LNH'') is a professional [[ice hockey]] [[sports league|league]] in [[North America]] comprising 32 teams
The National Hockey League was organized at the [[Windsor Hotel (Montreal)|Windsor Hotel]] in [[Montreal]] on November 26, 1917, after the suspension of operations of its predecessor organization, the [[National Hockey Association]] (NHA), which had been founded in 1909 at [[Renfrew, Ontario]].<ref>''The National Hockey League Official Record Book & Guide 2009'' 77th Edition, p. 9. New York: National Hockey League (2008)</ref> The NHL immediately took the NHA's place as one of the leagues that contested for the Stanley Cup in an annual interleague competition before a series of league mergers and foldings left the NHL as the only league left competing for the Stanley Cup in 1926.
At its inception, the NHL had four teams, all in Canada, thus the adjective "National" in the league's name. The league expanded to the United States in 1924, when the [[Boston Bruins]] joined, and has since consisted of both American and Canadian teams. From 1942 to 1967, the league had only six teams, collectively (if not contemporaneously) nicknamed the "[[Original Six]]". The NHL added six new teams to double its size at the [[1967 NHL expansion]]. The league then increased to 18 teams by 1974 and [[1979 NHL expansion|21 teams in 1979]]. Between 1991 and 2000, the NHL further expanded to 30 teams. It added its 31st and 32nd teams in 2017 and 2021, respectively. Utah was awarded a 33rd franchise in 2024 as it acquired the hockey assets of the Arizona franchise, which became inactive, thus maintaining the total number of teams at 32.
The NHL is the fifth-highest grossing [[professional sport]] league in the world by [[List of professional sports leagues by revenue|revenue]], after the [[National Football League]] (NFL), [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB), the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA), and the [[Premier League]] (PL).<ref>{{cite web|last=Mathewson|first=TJ|title=TV is biggest driver in global sport league revenue|url=https://globalsportmatters.com/business/2019/03/07/tv-is-biggest-driver-in-global-sport-league-revenue/|website=GlobalSportMatters.com|date=March 7, 2019|access-date=March 29, 2021|archive-date=December 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207033032/https://globalsportmatters.com/business/2019/03/07/tv-is-biggest-driver-in-global-sport-league-revenue/|url-status=live}}</ref> The league's headquarters have been in [[Manhattan]] since 1989, when the head office moved from Montreal.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Todd|first1=Jack|title=Americans and Bettman have stolen Canada's game|url=https://calgaryherald.com/sports/opinion+americans+bettman+have+stolen+canada+game/7251426/story.html|access-date=January 31, 2018|work=[[Calgary Herald]]|date=September 17, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127034723/http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/opinion+americans+bettman+have+stolen+canada+game/7251426/story.html|archive-date=January 27, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> There have been four league-wide work stoppages in NHL history, all occurring after 1992.<ref name=JohnCollins>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aGY7pu.INAhA|archive-url=http://wayback.vefsafn.is/wayback/20100326183144/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid%3D20601109%26sid%3DaGY7pu.INAhA|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 26, 2010| publisher=Bloomberg L.P.| title=NHL Borrows From NFL as It Pursues Bigger TV Contract| first=Curtis| last=Eichelberger| date=May 29, 2009| access-date=June 29, 2009}}</ref>

From the [[2017–18 NHL season|2017–18 season]] to the [[2019–20 NHL season|2019–20 season]], the NHL consisted of 31 teams—24 based in the United States and 7 in Canada. The NHL divided the 31 teams into two conferences: the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] and the [[Western Conference (NHL)|Western Conference]]. Each conference was split into two [[Division (sport)|divisions]]: the Eastern Conference contained 16 teams (eight per division), while the Western Conference had 15 teams (seven in the Central and eight in the Pacific). The league temporarily realigned for the [[2020–21 NHL season|2020–21 season]] but returned to the previous alignment the following year. With the addition of the Seattle Kraken in 2021–22 to the Pacific Division and the Arizona Coyotes' move from the Pacific to the Central, all four divisions now have eight teams each and both conferences have 16 teams.
The number of NHL teams held constant at 30 teams from the [[2000–01 NHL season|2000–01 season]], when the [[Minnesota Wild]] and the [[Columbus Blue Jackets]] joined the league as expansion teams, until 2017. That expansion capped a period in the 1990s of rapid expansion and relocation, when the NHL added nine teams to grow from 21 to 30 teams, and relocated four teams mostly from smaller, northern cities to larger, more southern metropolitan areas ([[Minneapolis]] to [[Dallas]], [[Quebec City]] to [[Denver]], [[Winnipeg]] to [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]], and [[Hartford, Connecticut|Hartford]] to [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]]). The league has not contracted any teams since the [[Cleveland Barons (NHL)|Cleveland Barons]] were merged into the [[Minnesota North Stars]] in 1978.
