The amazing sport of Hockey and how its grown into the sport we know today. I personally love watching, playing, and practicing hockey with all my free time, it is incomparably fun to skate fast and to see the puck move from your stick to the back of the net.  Hockey has been a part of Canada for over a century and is one of the most thrilling, fast paced sports in the world. Since 1917 when it was founded in Montreal the NHL has reigned supreme in the world of hockey as the greatest hockey league in the world. Home to the greatest championship in all of hockey, the Stanley Cup. It was first introduced by Lord Stanley of Preston in 1892 who was the Governor General of Canada at the time to show his support for the sport, and it has grown in popularity ever since. The number of teams has grown rapidly to an astounding 31 teams in total competing against one another for the Stanley Cup with plans to have the Seattle Krakens be the 32nd team in the 2021-2022 season. That begs the question of when or if they have any plans to ever stop expanding.  The teams and certain players have gotten infamous reputations and the spectators love to watch the entertainment while picking favorite teams or even favorite players. In all Hockey has an interesting history and an astounding Hockey league.
