The American Hockey League is a professional Ice Hockey league in the USA and Canada. It was officially formed in 1938 following the merger of the Canadian-American Hockey League and the International Hockey League. Due to dwindling memberships, the leagues had been playing interlocking schedules since 1936.
The AHL currently serves as the primary developmental league for the National Hockey League, and since the 2010/11 season, each AHL team has been affiliated with an NHL team. Players in the NHL must be at least 18 or not currently playing with a Junior Hockey Team, and each team can only have a maximum of 5 players with 4 or more seasons of playing experience.
The AHL Season runs from October to April and consists of an Eastern Conference containing the Atlantic and North Divisions and a Western Conference made up of the Pacific and Central Divisions.
In previous seasons, the games were imbalanced, and points percentage was used to determine standings, but from the 2023 season, each team will play 72 games, and standings will be based on total points. At the end of the regular season, the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy is awarded to the team with the most points.
Playoffs follow the regular season, with the top teams from each division moving on to compete for the Calder Cup.
32 Teams currently play in the AHL (26 from the United States and 6 from Canada), with the Hershey Bears being the only team remaining from their original franchise. They have won the Calder Cup 13 times and competed in 25 finals, with the closest active team to them being the Rochester Americans who have
19 active teams have won the Calder Cup, and this past summer, the Abbotsford Canucks became the first team from Western Canada to lift the trophy.
Bets can be placed on the AHL as with any other sport. You can bet on the points spread or place a simple Moneyline bet. The betting market may not be as wide as it is for NHL games but you may also find odds on markets such as which players will score, how many goals a specific player will score or whether the game will go into overtime.
You can also place futures bets on the Calder Cup winner.
The AHL has its own streaming service called AHL TV where you can watch all games live. There are various streaming packages available at different costs, and the feed can be watched via Apple TV, Roku and Fire TV as well as on a laptop or other device.
