National Hockey League

National Hockey League (skammstafað NHL) er atvinnudeild í íshokkí sem samanstendur af 31 félögum: 24 bandarískum og 7 kanadískum. Deildin hefur höfuðstöðvar í New York-borg og hún er víða talin besta íshokkí deild heims og ein stærsta atvinnumanna deild Bandaríkjanna og Kanada. Sigurvegari deildarinnar fær þáttökurétt í Stanley-bikarnum, elsta atvinnu íþróttabikar Norður-Ameríku.

Deildin var stofnuð 26. nóvember 1917 í Montreal, Quebec, Kanada eftir að móðurfélag þess, National Hockey Association (NHA) hætti störfum en félagið hafði verið stofnað 1909.The National Hockey League Official Record Book & Guide 2009 77. útgáfa, bls. 9. New York: National Hockey League (2008) Deildin byrjaði með fjórum liðum (öllum búsettum í Kanada) og eftir nokkrar stækkanir og yfirfærslur samanstendur hún nú af 30 félögum. Þjóðin sem er átt við í nafni deildarinnar var Kanada, þótt að deildin hefur verið á milli liða í tveim löndum síðan 1924, en þá byrjaði fyrsta lið Bandaríkjanna, Boston Bruins að leika í deildinni.
