The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional ice hockey league composed of 30 member clubs: 23 in the United States and 7 in Canada. The NHL is considered to be the premier professional ice hockey league in the world, and one of the North American major professional sports leagues.
The Stanley Cup, the oldest professional sports trophy in North America, is awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season.
During the regular season, each team plays 82 games: 41 home games and 41 away games. A game is 60 minutes long, divided into three 20-minute periods. If a game is tied after regulation time, it goes into overtime. During overtime, each team must play 4 skaters on the ice instead of 5, and the first team to score during overtime wins the game. If no one scores during overtime, then the game goes into a shootout. During a shootout, each team gets 3 shots on goal. If the score is still tied after 3 shots, then it goes to sudden death, and the first team to score wins the game.
