The National Hockey League (NHL), which was organized in Canada in 1917 with five professional teams, welcomed the first US team, the Boston Bruins, in 1924. Since 1926 the symbol of supremacy in professional hockey has been the Stanley Cup, which is awarded to the winner of a play-off that concludes the NHL season. The Stanley Cup was presented to amateur champions from 1893 to 1925.
The World Hockey Championships, contested by national teams and sponsored by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF; founded 1908), have been held since 1930 for men and since 1990 for women.
