NHL players to return to Winter Olympics for 2026, 2030
Beginning in the 2014–15 season, the Champions Hockey League was launched, a league consisting of first-tier teams from several European countries, running parallel to the teams› domestic leagues. The competition is meant to serve as a Europe-wide ice hockey club championship. The competition is a direct successor to the European Trophy and is related to the 2008–09 tournament of the same name. During normal play, there are six players on ice skates on the ice per side, one of them being the goaltender. The objective of the game is to score goals by shooting a hard vulcanized rubber disc, the puck, into the opponent’s goal net at the opposite end of the rink.

Goaltenders› equipment has continually become larger and larger, leading to fewer goals in each game and many official rule changes. The most widespread system is the «three-man system», which uses one referee and two linesmen. A less commonly used system is the two ELMIRA ENFORCERS referee and one linesman system.
Players may not intentionally bat the puck into the net with their hands. A hockey team consists of 6 players, including a goalie, who work together to play the game. The size of an ice hockey team’s roster is influenced by a combination of league rules and regulations, as well as the team’s own strategy and style of play. In addition to Canadian- and American-born and trained players, who have historically composed a large majority of NHL rosters, the NHL also draws players from an expanding pool of other nations where organized and professional hockey is played. Since the collapse of the Soviet Bloc, political/ideological restrictions on the movement of hockey players from this region have disappeared, leading to a large influx of players mostly from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Russia into the NHL.

The league added six new teams to double its size as a result of the 1967 NHL expansion, then increased to 18 teams by 1974, and to 21 teams due to the 1979 NHL expansion. Salt Lake City was awarded an expansion franchise in 2024 as it acquired the hockey assets of the Arizona Coyotes, which were deactivated, thus maintaining the total number of teams at 32.

- This is a desperate act, as it sometimes leads to the opposing team extending their lead by scoring a goal in the empty net.
- If a tie occurs in tournament play, as well as in the NHL playoffs, North Americans favour sudden death overtime, in which the teams continue to play twenty-minute periods until a goal is scored.
- A penalty shot allows the obstructed player to pick up the puck on the centre red-line and attempt to score on the goalie with no other players on the ice, to compensate for the earlier missed scoring opportunity.
- The winning community gets a cash prize dedicated to upgrading their local home arena, as well as the opportunity to host an NHL pre-season game.
- As of 2012, the two top teams of the previous season from each league compete in the Trans-Tasman Champions League.
- Certain national telecasts are non-exclusive, and may also air in tandem with telecasts of the game by local broadcasters.
At the end of the regular season, the team that finishes with the most points in each division is crowned the division champion, and the league’s overall leader is awarded the Presidents› Trophy. Teams usually hold a summer showcase for prospects in July and participate in prospect tournaments, full games that do not feature any veterans, in September. Full training camps begin in mid-to-late September, including a preseason consisting of six to eight exhibition games. Split squad games, in which parts of a team’s regular season roster play separate games on the same day, are occasionally played during the preseason. Among its North American corporate sponsors, Kraft Heinz sponsors Kraft Hockeyville, an annual competition in which communities compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of ice hockey.
A standard ice hockey team consists of a certain number of players, with variations in roster size depending on the league or competition. In the National Hockey League (NHL), the most prestigious ice hockey league in North America, the teams typically have a roster size of 23 players. The international roster size, on the other hand, may vary depending on the tournament and the rules set by the governing body.
Former national ice hockey teams
The sport was created in Sweden in the early 1960s and is played under similar rules to ice hockey. National teams representing the member federations of the IIHF compete annually in the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships. Teams are selected from the available players by the individual federations, without restriction on amateur or professional status. Since it is held in the spring, the tournament coincides with the annual NHL Stanley Cup playoffs and many of the top players are hence not available to participate in the tournament.
The foul of boarding (defined as «checking an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards»)9 is penalized either by a minor or major penalty at the discretion of the referee, based on the violent state of the hit. A minor or major penalty for boarding is often assessed when a player checks an opponent from behind and into the boards. If a game is tied after regulation, then a 20-minute period of 5-on-5 sudden-death overtime will be added. If the game is still tied after the overtime, another period is added until a team scores, which wins the match. Since 2019, the IIHF World Championships and the gold medal game in the Olympics use the same format, but in a 3-on-3 format. Ice hockey teams typically have six players on the ice at any given time, including one goaltender and five skaters.
