Ice hockey is not a household sport in the United Kingdom but the recent success of the Great Britain side and EIHL teams such as the Cardiff Devils and Belfast Giants has helped to raise the profile of the sport on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
However, the NHL remains the cream of the crop. Every young ice hockey player dreams of making it in the National Hockey League, though the NHL betting odds for being drafted to one of the competition’s teams are very slim indeed.
The Stanley Cup is the ultimate objective for any NHL star. Winning ice hockey’s top prize is no easy feat though – in fact, it is one of the most unpredictable leagues in sport. Only one NHL team has managed to retain the Stanley Cup since 1999.
With the 2019/20 campaign on hold for the time being, future ice hockey bets are popular with punters. NHL fans will be keeping a close eye on the latest ice hockey news, tips and odds ahead of the postseason.
