Ice hockey, rarely referred to in the U.S. simply as "hockey", is a popular sport in the United States. Hockey in the U.S. began in 1894 when the first artificial ice rink was built in Baltimore, Maryland. Now hockey is most popular in regions of the U.S. with cold winter climates, such as the northeast and the upper Midwest. However, since the 1990s, ice hockey has become increasingly popular in the Sun Belt due in large part to the expansion of the National Hockey League to the southeast and southwest U.S., coupled with the mass relocation of many residents from northern cities with strong hockey support to these Sun Belt locations.

  • Ishockey i USA har spelats sedan slutet av 1800-talet, dit spelet kom från Kanada runt 1893. Även om USA haft många NHL-klubbar genom årens lopp, var länge de flesta av de bättre spelarna från Kanada, och USA klassades oftast som "lillebror" då det gällde ishockey. Ishockey blev ett populärt spel i de norra delarna av USA, där klimatet erbjöd bättre förhållanden under utomhusrinkarnas tid, men spelet var aldrig i närheten av till exempel amerikansk fotboll, baseboll och basket i popularitet.
