The thirty teams are divided into two sects of fifteen teams in each who play in all major championships. Of the total playing teams, about 6 of them are in Canada and rest in America. The leading team hockey in National Hockey League are the Montreal Canadians followed by Toronto Maple leafs, other teams are all close on the heels of these teams. The National Hockey League season is played in parts, in October and then a play off in April and finally the Stanley cup championships after the qualifying teams have played the seven series and come out winners. Each team in the NHL plays 82 regular season games, 41 games at home and 41 on the road. Teams will now play 10 inter-conference (that is, not in their own conference) games throughout the entire season, 1 game against each team in two of the three divisions in the opposite conference. Teams will also play 40 games against non-divisional, conference opponents (4 games against each), and 32 games within their division (8 games against each). Each Conference consists of three divisions, so these three division champions and five more teams fill out each Conference’s playoff field. In total, 16 teams (3 division champions and 5 additional teams, for a total of 8 from each Conference) qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

In the Canadian junior ice hockey system almost every young player dreams about one day making it to the National Hockey League. This article will focus on all those ice hockey players that do not make it directly to the NHL.

The minor hockey leagues are as follows:

At the level below the National Hockey League you find the American Hockey League and here most of the players have NHL contracts. It is good ice hockey sports with many good players.

As you understand the players do not make as much money in the minors as they do in the NHL and life is tougher as well.

A game day in the life of a minor league ice hockey player could look like this:

Ice hockey is your life, just as it is for so many other NHL fans from around the world. What’s even better, your ice hockey apparel is top quality and very comfortable. Ice hockey apparel is available, in most cases, at your local hockey shop dealer as well as in the mall. When you go to a NHL game, you can also buy replica jerseys there. Having the right apparel is what separates the real ice hockey fans from the NHL wannabes. Even professional European hockey jerseys are gaining fast in popularity. Whether you are wearing NHL jerseys from the old days of the National Hockey League or from you present favorite NHL or AHL team, you’ll be on the right track for looking good.

You can, as many already do, pay the high price tag for your NHL jersey at your local hockey goods store or (if you are smart) save a bundle at on line sporting and hockey goods sites. NHL jerseys are possibly the top clothing accessory out there and a favorite among many hockey fans. Every hockey fan in the NHL knows this.
