It stands fo national hockey league because the U.S. and Canada both have teams in it coast to coast (excepting the territories in Canada because not many people live there and its too cold) so it is a national league.

The word "hockey" has been around in some form for thousands of years; there is no record of who first used the term, nor in what way it became used as it is today.

The name 'Hockey' came from Canada. Before the word came about, people used to call it 'Hurley' instead of the current name.
