The National Hockey League (NHL; French: Ligue nationale de hockey--LNH) is an "unincorporated not-for-profit association" which operates a major professional ice hockey league. Currently there are 30 franchised member clubs, 23 located in the United States and 7 in Canada.
Headquartered in New York City, the NHL is widely considered to be the premier professional ice hockey league in the world, and one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. The Stanley Cup, the oldest professional sports trophy in North America, is awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season.
Counterfeiters profit by creating and selling deceptive NHL branded products, often to unsuspecting consumers. While the NHL and the companies that sell well-known NHL branded products are the obvious and direct victims of counterfeiting, this illicit activity also poses a real threat to the livelihoods and lives of workers and consumers and is directly supporting criminals.
You are not buying authentic NHL quality merchandise when you buy a counterfeit.
