The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional sports organization of hockey teams in Canada and the United States. It is the leading professional ice hockey league in the world, and one of the major professional sports leagues of North America.

The National Hockey League was founded in 1917 in Montreal, Canada. After a chain of disputes in the Canadian National Hockey Association (NHA); between Edward J. Livingstone and owners of other teams, in due course it led to the establishment of the National Hockey League. The founding teams were the Montreal Canadians, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, Quebec Bulldogs and the newly-renamed Toronto Arenas.

Even though, the league struggled to stay in business during its first decade, the NHL's teams happened to be very successful on the ice. The NHL's teams won the Stanley Cup seven out of the first nine years. The league had also extended into the United States with the Boston Bruins in the 1924-25 season; the New York Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1925-26 season; and the New York Rangers, Detroit Cougars (now known as the Red Wings), and the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1926-27 season.

In 1972, the World Hockey Association was created. Nonetheless, it never challenged for the Stanley Cup, its status as a potential competitor to the NHL rival did not go unnoticed. In response, the NHL decided to rush its own expansion plans by adding the New York Islanders and Atlanta Flames along with the Kansas City Scouts and Washington Capitals two years later. The two leagues fought for the services of hockey players and fans until the WHA folded in 1979. By 1997, the Oilers were the last remaining original WHA franchise still playing in the city where they began in the NHL.

Near the beginning of the 90s, the NHL extended further with five new franchises. The San Jose Sharks; a season later the Ottawa Senators would join the NHL along with the Tampa Bay Lightning. In 1993, the league added an additional two teams, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and the Florida Panthers. Near the year 2000, the NHL added another four teams: the Nashville Predators, the Atlanta Thrashers, the Minnesota Wild and the Columbus Blue Jackets completing a total of 30 teams.
