I like to watch the National Hockey League. My favorite team is the Chicago Blackhawks. Do you like ice hockey?
I do enjoy watching it sometimes. The NHL currently has 31 teams. 24 in the US and 7 in Canda. 
Awesome, I really like the fast pace of play and excitement of scoring goals. It is also a great bridge between the USA and Canada.
The NHL is one of the major pro sports leagues in the US and Canada.
Yeah, I think it is a a great league. The Stanley Cup is so exciting to watch. I would like to see it one day in person.
The Stanley Cup is the oldest pro sports trophy in North America, given to the playoff champion each year.
Interesting, I didn't know it was the oldest. I always thought the Super Bowl was first. Pretty cool!
The International Hockey Federation considers it to be one of the most important championships in the sport. 
Definitely. I think my favorite hockey team was the 1980 USA team that beat Russia in the "Miracle on Ice"!
That is such a wonderful story.
