Ice Hockey Odds & Betting
Ice hockey is one of the most popular winter sports in the world. The ‘Big Six’ countries for professional hockey are Canada, Czech Republic, the United States, Russia, Finland and Sweden. Hockey combines elements of other major sports like football and field hockey with the dexterity-driven activity of skating.
Unlike other winter sports involving skates, ice hockey is a contact sport, making it quite exhilarating to watch. Some hockey games even have side fights, which many appreciate just as much as the actual competition. Overall, ice hockey is fascinating, unique and exciting to watch.
Needless to say, ice hockey betting is a hot topic (as it is every year). With leagues and tournaments spanning dozens of countries, there’s no shortage of action. India-based bettors usually prefer 10CRIC for its variety of ice hockey events and exclusive ice hockey betting deals on offer.
We provide internet-leading ice hockey odds as well as a myriad of bonuses and promotions to go along with every major event. Read below to find out how 10CRIC can help you make the most of this year’s ice hockey competition.
Ice Hockey 2022 Betting Odds
As exciting as ice hockey is, we understand how easy it can be to get swept up in the hype on gambling sites. It's important to make sure you’re clear on all the rules when you’re playing. For ice hockey betting at 10CRIC, there are three main types of betting odds to know. They are pre-game, outright, and live (or in-play) odds.
Pre-game ice hockey betting odds refer to those that are posted before an event has even begun. These will mostly be posted as decimal odds, but you’ll also see them as fractions in some cases. Pre-game odds can shift in the time it takes for an event to begin depending on injuries or major personnel changes. Pre-game odds can represent a variety of outcomes too, including who will win or the outcome of certain statistics.
Outright ice hockey betting odds refer to the outcomes of an entire tournament or event. For example, an outright bet placed for the NHL could determine who you think will win the Stanley Cup. These are fairly standard types of bets to place, and we recommend them for any experience level.
Live ice hockey betting odds refer to lines that represent outcomes in a game as it's happening. 10CRIC will help you track the flow of the game — you can place a wager at any point during the event itself.
These are great options for those who can sit and enjoy an entire hockey game while betting. The reason for this is that you can see the flow of the game first; timing is everything with live betting.

About Ice Hockey
Ice hockey is an internationally celebrated sport with leagues all over the world. The four biggest leagues with the most competitive ice hockey events are the NHL, KHL, SHL and IIHF.
NHL: The National Hockey League is a North American League predominantly in the United States with a few teams in Canada. Inaugurated in 1917, the NHL now includes 24 US teams and 7 Canadian teams, for a total of 31. It is the fifth-largest sports league in the world when ranked by revenue; it is first out of all hockey leagues.
KHL: The Kontinental Hockey League covers major ground internationally and is considered the top professional league for European and Asian players. It contains teams from Belarus, China, Finland, Russia, Kazakhstan and Latvia. The highest-ranked Russian team is awarded the title ‘Champion of Russia’. The KHL is regarded as second only to the National Hockey League.
SHL: The Swedish Hockey League is often considered one of the best hockey leagues in Europe. In terms of competition, the league has 14 teams that play 52 games, each with the top eight reaching the playoffs. The bottom two teams every year face off in a relegation series known as ‘Kvalserien’. This series includes four teams from the second-tier Swedish hockey league, with the top two being promoted
IIHF: The International Ice Hockey Federation, although not a professional league, is a governing body that holds many international ice hockey tournaments. It was formed in 1908 and has held an annual tournament called the Ice Hockey World Championships every year since. This event is considered one of the highest-profile hockey tournaments on the planet and the largest in size to be held annually.
Ice Hockey Betting Tips
There’s no surefire way of turning a profit with ice hockey betting, but there are a few things you can implement into your strategy to increase your long-term win rate.

- Follow the latest odds - Outright odds may fluctuate throughout the season based on how the campaign plays out. As for individual matches, the prices may go down on one side if the opposing team’s star gets injured prior to the match or in case of some other unforeseen circumstances. That’s why you should always pay attention to last-minute odds changes.
- Take advantage of the promotions - From time to time, 10CRIC will unleash promotions for the most elite ice hockey tournaments. These perks can give you a major bankroll boost and increase your overall EV.
