How to play
- Name all 32 teams in the NHL today. The nickname is enough.
- Type them in any order. The clock starts when you tap the box or type. A name counts the moment it’s complete, no need to press Enter. The nickname or the city is enough, unless two teams share it.
- Stuck? Hint tells you something about the next one you’re missing, and costs 15 seconds, off the clock and onto your time. Finish ends the round early.
- Your best result goes on the quiz’s all-time leaderboard: most named, then fastest. Play as often as you like.
About this list
The NHL as of October 21, 2026. The league's current teams.
On this list
There are 32 teams: 16 in the Eastern Conference and 16 in the Western Conference, split into 4 divisions. Going division by division is the surest way not to miss one.
Each of the 4 divisions holds 8: Atlantic Division, Central Division, Metropolitan Division and Pacific Division.
One city name, New York, is shared by two teams, so when you name one, think of its neighbour.
Half the league, 16 of the 32, reaches the playoffs: the top three in each division plus two wild cards from each conference.
