ICE HOCKEY

Ice hockey is considered ‘the fastest game on earth’ where two rival teams bring their utmost in speed, power and skill in an effort to get the puck into the back of the net. Played primarily in the United States, Canada and Europe, ice hockey provides ample opportunity for bettors to make some key ice hockey predictions related to the outcome. And, fortunately for you, Sportingbet makes this process really simple!

Ice hockey has the same league and cup formats at both club and international level as can be found in football. This means that if you’re already interested in football betting online, you would likely be ale to make some good ice hockey predictions as the betting markets are very similar.

Sportingbet offers you a range of betting types for ice hockey, such as the outright winner of a league or cup; the winner of an individual game; the first (or next) goal scorer of a game; an over/under wage on the total amount of goals scored; and parlay bets (where 2 or more hockey sides are selected to win their games).

Some of the hottest ice hockey tournaments you can follow are:

• The Winter Olympics - ice hockey has been part of the Olympic Games since 1920, with the next one set for 2022.

• The Stanley Cup Playoffs – the Stanley Cup is the championship trophy handed to the winner of the National Hockey League (NHL) playoffs.

• World Cup of Hockey - organised by the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA).

• Ice Hockey World Championships – this is an annual event run by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).
