The video only lasts a minute and 25 seconds, but it's a rather fun historical trip through the NHL's history from humble beginnings to the 30-team league of today.

The NHL presently comprises 33 (32 of which are active) teams, with 26 located in the United States (Arizona remaining inactive) and 7 in Canada. Q. When was the National Hockey League established?

In 2017 and 2021, respectively, the 31st and 32nd teams were added. The National Hockey League (NHL) will operate and play in its 107th and 106th seasons, respectively, in 2023–24.

The National Hockey League in conjunction with the Philadelphia Flyers have named 12 players making up the First and Second Quarter-Century Teams for the Philadelphia Flyers from 2000-2025.
