“It's hockey, not ice hockey idiots!”
~ Americans on Hockey, not ice hockey
“I have a dream that one day more than two Black people will play the sport of hockey. But I won't be one of them. Too cold for me.”
~ Martin Luther King on The sport of hockey
“Hahahahaha!! Phoenix has a HOCKEY team?!”
~ Gordie Howe
The National Hockey League (NHL) is a pro hockey league best known for fighting, Rush, the Stanley Cup, fighting, Wayne Gretzky, Trevor Linden, Mark Messier, Jaromir Jagr, the FoxTrax puck, drunken Canadians, fighting, and fighting. It is regarded by many as the worst-run pro sports league in the world, thanks in part to its decision to completely forget its core business (playing ice hockey) in favour of Commissioner Gary Bettman's favoured pastime, being a jackass. There are many types of fans in the NHL: angsty Edmonton fans, on the edge Toronto fans, clueless Atlanta fans, pissed off Canadians that think Winnipeg, Quebec City and Hamilton should all house NHL teams,....... and the rest. BETTMAN IS A TOTAL MORON! The preceding statement is totally substantiated by the folks who run www.firebettman.com.

[edit] History
The league was formed in 1889 when the Montreal Canadiens were formed and played against with themselves for 10 years. Then in 1899 the Detroit Dead Things were formed, along with the Chicago White Hawks, Toronto Maple Laughs, the New York Rainers, and Boston Beers. The league champions are annually (and anal-y) awarded the Stanley Cup.

[edit] Why it's better than European Hockey
NHL hockey is better than European hockey because the French are not big enough to play in North America anymore so they have to play in Sweden, in part because French are just pussies (see also: Don Cherry), and in part because it allows fighting. Unfortunately, the instigator rule means that fighters must now seek permission in triplicate from their opponent before punching them in the face (as opposed to the old way, where they could just thump anyone who pissed them off, or really anyone at all). The highlight of any NHL game is a bench-clearing brawl, in which a typical hockey fight spreads, like a vicious and entertaining plague, to everyone in the arena. Unfortunately, the NHL decided that was too much fun, and made it almost impossible to start one, and furthermore replaced it with a shootout in which the euros wouldn't get their asses kicked. Even though Baseball has easily one a week.
[edit] Divisional structure
The NHL is divided into two conferences and six divisions, as a way of punishing or rewarding the League's various teams based on their relative favour with the current powers-that-be. For example, the Detroit Red Wings get a cushy appointment in the fluffy marshmallow that is the SouthCentral Division, while the Edmonton Oilers, for icing one of the worst-ever hockey teams, gets stiffed with the forest of cacti that is the Northwest Airlines Division. To make matters worse, teams must play their own division more than ever. This results in Detroit getting about 100 points by Christmas, while all five Northwest Division teams have about 30.
[edit] You bunch of rookies
At the end of the season, the Chosen Ones, anointed years in advance, and the strongest hangers-on (the Unworthy) play for the Stanley Cup. In the playoffs, roughly anything can happen, which has resulted in recent conference finals resembling the results of a coin-flip or d20 roll. This has had the nasty effect of leaving the Chosen Ones playing golf in May, while the Unworthy getting multiple cracks at the Cup (not that they ever win--they are, after all, Unworthy). The NHL is currently examining legislation that would make this impossible, by allowing players to leave their teams roughly whenever they feel like it, in the hopes that the Chosen Ones will get the hint and sign all the cool players and leave the Unworthy with all the stupid ones. Oh and everybody hates the Montreal Canadiens, especially morons who can't spell their name properly. (that's because we're so great!)

[edit] Important Rules (However Silly They May Be!)
All rules (except *M) can(and will) be ignored at any time during the game, depending on which team paid the referees more money. For all instances in which both teams paid the referees the SAME amount of money, to decide which team get fucked over by the possible goal (see rule E), they call the Ghostbusters, your fucking mom, and Toronto, in order to ask the magic eight ball, which hates the Lightning, the Oilers, and any team that doesn't ever /really/ do anything wrong. [edit] Looking to ExpandWant to own a National Hockey League team? No, not really.
[edit] Bettman SezHello, basket- hockey fans! It's me, your ever lovable commisioner, Gary Bettman! Now, I know a lot of you might be concerned about this "overexpansion" and the "dying markets" in the Southern USA. Nothing could be further from the truth! Why, if the league didn't expand, we'd still be stuck at five teams, and really, who wants a team called the Wanderers? Exactly. Weeding out the old franchices and relocating the slightly successful ones is part of busi- HOCKEY. Why, thanks to expansion, owners are richer than ever and we can all go and gloat that we have a super fair salary cap. Now who can argue with that? Jim Balisillie, that's who! As for the future, under my rule, the NHL will expand from 30 to 72 teams by 2015... ALL of them winners! Yes, NO team will have a losing record! How's that for good basketball! Wait, I mean hockey. Yeah. As for these so called dying markets, look at those teams down there. Why, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Anaheim Ducks have both won Stanley's Cup since I came in to power. I AM A MEGALOMANIAC. Wait, that came out wrong. Oh well. The point is that all the money is in the States. The Canadian dollar is worth what, two cents? So forget it Hamilton. Winnipeg, see you later. Same to you, Quebec City. In fact, when Mexico becomes part of that good old US of A, we plan to move those dead franchises up North down there. Take the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. They're so old they should be playing with canes, not sticks! Hahahahahaha!!! But, when the time comes, both teams will move down to Mexico where I shall christen them the Tijuana Illegal Aliens and the Mexico City Mexiciens (odd spelling to keep some relation to the team's previous name). We'll be the first North American sports league down there. GO NBA! I MEAN NHL!
~Gary Fretman, aka, El Jackass, who will not make this putt. P.S.: I am currently involved in a homosexual relationship with Sean Avery, who, along with Eliot Spitzer, was one of my former clients but at the same time I am currently blowing the love of my life, Sidney Crosby, because he makes me squee on the inside. And gives me so much cash, I could finally scam Canada out of the sport of hockey forever! Ha! Damn Canadians with their back bacon, meeses...mooses and chubby guys like John Candy and Rick Moranis saying 'Eh?' all the time! [edit] External links
