The NHL is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by a surge of young talent and strategic expansions. Recent franchise valuations from Sportico reveal that all 32 teams are now valued over $1 billion for the first time, with increases ranging from 19% to 78% year-over-year.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers have reached $3 billion valuations, while the Philadelphia Flyers, despite a slight drop in ranking, saw a 35% increase, valuing them at $2.29 billion.
