About the brand ❤️
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are the annual postseason elimination tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL), held after the regular season to determine the league’s champion and award the historic Stanley Cup. As North America’s oldest prize in professional sports competition, the Stanley Cup’s origins trace to 1893 when it was donated as a challenge trophy in Canada, later becoming the NHL’s championship trophy. Since 1927, the NHL has used a multi-round best-of-seven playoff system involving 16 teams — eight from each conference — to decide which club will hoist the Cup. The playoff series culminate in the Stanley Cup Final, one of the pinnacle events in ice hockey and North American sport, featuring intense competition, dramatic moments, and deep fan engagement across the United States and Canada. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are operated and marketed by the NHL, with games broadcast internationally and followed by millions of fans each spring, continuing a tradition of elite hockey excellence and storied rivalries.
