Introduction
The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional ice hockey league consisting of 31 teams, 23 in the United States and 7 in Canada. The regular season begins in October and ends in April, with each team playing 82 games. The playoffs follow, typically running from April through June.
NHL Season Start Date
NHL fans rejoice, as the long wait for professional hockey is nearly over! The NHL season is set to start on October 12th, 2022, with training camps opening earlier in the month. While nothing is official until the NHL schedule is released, most fans can expect their team to play their first game sometime in the week of October 12th-16th.
NHL Season Length
NHL seasons typically start in October and end in early April, with a Stanley Cup Playoff tournament culminating the season in late April or early May. The NHL schedule is very fluid and subject to change each year. The 2022 NHL season is currently scheduled to begin on October 12, 2022.
NHL Playoffs
Assuming the NHL goes with a similar schedule to the 2020-2021 season, we can expect the NHL playoffs to start sometime in mid-April of 2022. The Stanley Cup Finals will likely be held in early June.
NHL All-Star Game
The National Hockey League (NHL) All-Star Game is an annual professional ice hockey exhibition game. It is traditionally held in late January or early February, during the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL). The All-Star Game, originally intended to be a one-time event to commemorate the NHL’s 50th anniversary in 1967, is now held under two different formats: since 1998, it features a fantasy draft of all-stars, and since 2016 an All-Star Skills Competition following a three-on-three tournament between teams representing each of the NHL’s four divisions.
NHL Awards
The National Hockey League (NHL) season is upon us, and with it comes the NHL Awards. This year, the NHL Awards will be handed out on June 21st, 2022.
The NHL Awards are given out annually to recognize the best players, coaches, and executives in the League. They are also given out to honor outstanding achievement by members of the media who cover the sport of hockey.
This year’s NHL Awards will be handed out at a ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be hosted by actor and comedian Rob Riggle.
NHL Preseason
The NHL preseason is the time before the regular season starts. During the preseason, teams play exhibition games against each other. These games do not count towards the regular season standings. The NHL preseason typically begins in mid-September and ends in early October. The regular season then starts a few days after the preseason ends.
NHL Regular Season
The NHL regular season is set to start on October 12th, 2022.
NHL Stanley Cup Finals
The Stanley Cup Finals is the National Hockey League’s (NHL) championship series to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup, North America’s oldest professional sports trophy. The Stanley Cup Finals is played under a best-of-seven playoff format, and it is traditionally held in late May or early June.
The NHL season usually starts in early October and runs until late April or early May. However, the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals will be delayed due to the 2022 Winter Olympics. The NHL announced that the Stanley Cup Finals will take place no earlier than June 2, 2022, and no later than June 16, 2022.
So mark your calendars and make sure you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Conclusion
The NHL season is set to begin on October 7th, 2022.
