Formerly known as the Elitserien, the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) provides a platform for some of the best European Ice Hockey betting around, with BetVictor laying on SHL odds throughout the rink season.
Since forming in 1975, a dozen or so sides have emerged from the playoffs to take the Swedish Championship, which shows why the International Hockey Federation ranks the SHL among the most evenly-matched leagues on the planet, and ensures an edge-of-the-seat Ice Hockey betting experience in this part of Scandinavia
Take your SHL betting further via the Champions Hockey League, previously the European Trophy, a competition SHL sides have held sway in since its 2013 rebranding.
With two wins in the first three competitions, plus recent domestic success, Gothenburg-based outfit Frolunda HC are the team to beat on the continent, while the SHL’s primacy means five Swedish clubs consistently qualify for a crack at top honours, so keep an eye out for CHL Ice Hockey betting odds on ex-semi-finalists Vaxjo Lakers and Skelleftea AIK, not to mention former winners Lulea HF.
Alongside Finland and Czech Republic, Sweden have joined traditionally-dominant Canada and Russia on recent IIHF World Championship podiums, with such variety making for mouth-watering International Ice Hockey betting.
BetVictor provides extensive Ice Hockey betting coverage wherever sticks are swung, from the opening face-off to the last siren, including Puck Line, Total Goals, Highest Scoring Period, First Goalscorer, and Race To 3 Goals markets, so you’ll never fall flat on your face.
Over the Atlantic, whether you’re backing the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, or another of the NHL’s giants to get their mitts around the Stanley Cup, BetVictor provides Ice Hockey betting odds from Money Line to NHL Conference and NHL Division Winners, with In-Play enabled during the biggest battles on the rink.
