Top International Hockey Leagues

Ice hockey is one of the most popular sports worldwide today. This sport has gained immense popularity worldwide, with over 40 professional international leagues and championships. Each league has its own unique style, exciting players, and passionate fans. The National Hockey League is a professional ice hockey competition in the United States and Canada, while other countries like Switzerland, Russia, Germany, and many more have their own professional ice hockey competitions. 

At MelBet, we ensure our users get the cream of the crop when it comes to ice hockey betting. That’s why we allow you to bet on the most prestigious international hockey leagues. From historic battlegrounds of the NHL to the rising stars of the KHL, our ice hockey betting options include the world’s best teams and top players. Let’s explore the top international hockey leagues in detail.

NHL - National Hockey League

The National Hockey League - NHL is a powerhouse in arguably the world's biggest professional ice hockey competition. Founded in 1917, the NHL has a long and storied past. The iconic Stanley Cup, awarded annually to the league champion, is North America's oldest professional sports trophy. 

The NHL consists of 25 teams from the United States and 7 from Canada. With an average attendance of 17,406 as of 2019, the NHL is the biggest ice hockey league in the world. While its roots are in North America, the NHL has a truly international presence. The league consists of players from over 17 countries, offering a global perspective on the sport. 

The games are full of speed, skill, and physicality. The best ice hockey players worldwide play in the NHL and showcase their talents year in and year out. The league's high-energy style keeps fans on the edge of their seats. It’s also home to some of the most electrifying athletes in the world, like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, who have inspired generations of hockey fans. If you are an NHL fan looking for a betting platform, look no further than MelBet.

KHL - Kontinental Hockey League

Established in 2008, the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) is considered the second-strongest professional hockey league behind the NHL. Even though the KHL is merely 16 years old, the competition has already gained recognition worldwide due to its exciting style of play and the world’s best talent. 

KHL consists of 22 teams: 19 from Russia and 1 from Belarus, China, and Kazakhstan. The mixture of international presence offers viewers a diverse range of playing styles and talent. 

The KHL boasts the highest attendance figures in Europe, signifying a passionate fanbase dedicated to the sport. While its roots can be traced back to Russia, the KHL continues to attract international talent, making the competition more exciting for ice hockey fans worldwide. 

When it comes to the playing style, the KHL offers a fast-paced, offensive style with highly skilled players and games that are often high-scoring affairs. With separate conferences and the Gagarin Cup Playoffs, KHL has all the ingredients of a top sporting competition. 

Each year, the championship chase is filled with drama and intensity, providing ice hockey fans with opportunities to bet and win big. At MelBet Egypt, we offer KHL betting options for ice hockey fans nationwide. 

SHL - Swedish Hockey League

Founded in 1975, the Swedish Hockey League is ranked as the top league in Europe. The SHL features 14 teams from across Sweden, nurturing a competitive environment within the country. The high calibre of competition includes strong homegrown talent and top players from around the world. 

Each SHL game is a thrilling affair, with the players showing high-class skill, strategy, and talent. The fast-paced and exciting brand of hockey makes the SHL worth watching. Like the KHL, the SHL also has an exhilarating playoff-style tournament, where the top teams battle for the prestigious Le Mat Trophy. 

One key aspect that the Swedish Hockey League focuses on, in particular, is the development of future stars. You can go so far as to say that the SHL is the breeding ground for future NHL stars. The league shows an outstanding commitment to developing young Swedish talent. Hence, we see a steady stream of skilled players coming out of the country, ready to take the next step in their careers. 

For ice hockey fans looking for a competition to follow and bet on, the SHL is a perfect nut to crack. MelBet offers SHL betting options for our users. 

Popular Hockey Teams for Betting

Just like any other sport, some ice hockey teams perform well for themselves and for those who bet on them. Here is one of them from each league:

  1. Boston Bruins. In the 2022-23 season, the Boston Bruins had the best moneyline record. With a record of 65-17, they won 79% of their games. If you are a stats merchant, bettors got a whopping 23.4% ROI betting on the Boston Bruins last season. 

  2. CSKA Moscow. Dominating the KHL, CSKA Moscow is every bettor’s go-to team. With a rich history of talented players like Mikhail Grigorenko, you will never go wrong. The ever-reliable CSKA Moscow has won 37 national titles.

  3. Färjestad BK. Last but not least, we have the most successful team in the Swedish Hockey League’s history. The ever-reliable Färjestad BK has appeared in 21 Swedish Championship finals and won 10 of them. 

Before you choose a team to bet on, do your research. Find out which team is in form and which player consistently performs well. This will give you a better idea about hockey gambling and put you in a better position to make an informed decision. 

Understanding Hockey Betting Odds

Hockey betting odds indicate the amount of money you can win in comparison to your bet. They also provide insight into the bookmakers' perception of which team is more likely to win. For instance, if the odds state that you can win $3 for every $1 you bet, it suggests that the bookies consider it to be less probable. 

You choose from 6 different odds formats on MelBet Egypt. Let’s take a look at the most popular formats for hockey betting:

  • Decimal Odds. Common in Canada, they look like numbers (2.65). Multiply the number by your bet to see your total payout. Remember, you get your original bet back, too. So, a 2.65 on a $100 bet gives you $265 total, but your actual profit is $165.

  • Fraction Odds. These are easier to understand. Fraction odds are the amount you can win divided by your bet. For instance, 10/1 means you win $1000 for every $10 you bet. 

  • American Odds. These show two things: favourites are denoted with a negative sign, and underdogs are depicted with a positive sign. So, if the odds were -195, you would need to bet $195 to win $100. For the underdogs, the ice hockey odds would look like +165, which means you would win $165 if you placed a $100 bet.

Common Hockey Betting Markets

There are many ways to bet on hockey games, but some of the most popular options include: 

  1. Moneyline. This is a simple bet on which team will win the game. Favourites will have negative odds, meaning you must bet more than you could win. On the other hand, underdogs will have positive odds, meaning you win more than you bet.

  2. Puck Line. This is similar to a point spread in other sports. Instead of picking the winner, you pick a team to win by a certain number of goals. For example, a team with -1.5 puck lines must win by two or more goals for your wager to be successful.

  3. Over/Under. This is a bet on the total number of goals scored by both teams in the game. You bet on whether the total score will exceed or fall short of the sportsbook's predetermined limit. 

  4. Props. These are bets on specific events within a game rather than the final outcome. This could include things like how many goals a player will score, which team will score first, or how many saves a goalie will make. 

  5. Future. For those enthusiasts who think they can predict long-term outcomes, there are future bets. For instance, you can bet on a team to win the Stanley Cup or whichever other tournament they are involved in. Another example would be which player will lead the league in scoring at the end of the season. 

  6. Parlays. How about combining multiple bets in one wager? Parlays are exactly that! To win the conversation, all of your individual bets must be correct. This can lead to a bigger payout, but it’s also a higher risk since just one wrong pick can cause you to lose your entire bet. 

Proven Strategies for Maximizing Your Hockey Betting Returns

Here are some key strategies and hockey betting tips you should consider to maximize your returns:

  • Focus on Winning Streaks. A league table's overall standings can be misleading. You should look for teams that are on a tear, especially those riding a winning streak in their recent games. Even underdogs with a hot streak can be a good value bet.

  • Keep an Eye on the Schedule and Rosters. Even a team playing its third game in a row on a long road trip might be more vulnerable due to fatigue. Hence, avoid betting on teams with tight schedules. Similarly, if key players are resting or injured, it can significantly impact a team’s performance, and you might end up losing your bet.

  • Dive into the Analytics. Focus on advanced stats like Corsi and Fenwick, which can indicate which team has more possession or generates scoring chances. Moreover, another key stat that can help you place an informed bet is the expected goals (xG). This stat provides value to each scoring chance based on its quality, not just the quantity of shots. The team with better xG is a better value bet option for you. 

Bonus Tip: Don’t bet on every game! Focus on the matchups you have the most knowledge about and where you see a betting opportunity.
