While SHL and Scandinavian matches can certainly be exciting from time to time, they cannot compare to the high-intensity NHL games played on smaller rinks. A trip to the USA or Canada to experience the NHL live is something every hockey enthusiast should experience at least once in a lifetime. At GO Sport Travel, we offer tickets and customized hockey trips to NHL games, giving you the chance to see the world’s best hockey teams and players in action.
The National Hockey League (NHL) was established in 1917 in Montreal, Canada. Starting with only six member clubs, the league has now grown to over 30 teams, divided between the Eastern and Western Conferences. After 82 regular-season games, eight teams from each conference advance to the prestigious playoffs, the Stanley Cup.
The classic trophy is named after Lord Stanley of Preston, a British governor of Canada in the late 1800s. Originally a punch bowl, it was modified over time by Lord Stanley himself. All players and teams who achieve the ultimate honor of lifting the Stanley Cup have their names engraved forever on the most coveted trophy in hockey.
The team that has been the most successful in NHL history is the Montreal Canadiens, who have won the Stanley Cup a record 24 times. This Canadian team is also one of the "Original Six" that has been part of the league since its inception.
The NHL is undoubtedly the best hockey league in the world. The great thing about an NHL trip is that you also get to experience North American culture, especially if you visit major cities like New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Toronto, or Montreal. At GO Sport Travel, you’ll find the very best tickets to NHL games and various teams. A good tip for those considering a hockey trip to see the NHL is to book one of our package deals that include tickets, travel, and accommodation. We tailor the trip entirely to your preferences.
Note: All travelers to the USA must register by applying for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) or a visa, depending on the purpose of the trip. This is a mandatory requirement established by the U.S. government to ensure security upon entry. It is the traveler’s responsibility to complete this registration before departure, and it is important to do this well in advance to avoid any delays or issues at check-in or at the border. Also, make sure your passport is valid for the entire duration of the trip. If you have any questions about the registration process or need assistance, contact the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country for further information.
Through our agreements, which in many cases are the largest in the market, we offer you 100% confidence when booking your ticket. Secure deliveries, selected seats and the opportunity for Hospitality always give you value for your money.
