This is the NHL’s tenth season of the post-2004 lockout era. Yeah, it’s already been ten years since Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin broke in the league in hopes of ‘saving it.’ It’s been an incredible time of growth for the entire league, not just because of those two players, but because the league is incredibly deep with talent on numerous rosters. Soon we’ll get to enjoy watching all of these talented players again, as the 2014-15 NHL season is exactly three weeks away. Many hockey fans are excited and hopeful that their team will be great this year. And why shouldn’t they be? All teams are tied for first place at the beginning of the year, fans rejoice!

There are a handful of NHL teams that aren’t just going to be good this year, but for years to come. They’re going to dominate the next five years of NHL play and the league will grow even bigger because of them. These ten franchises are all blessed with talented rosters and the stars on these teams are going to dominate the league until the 2020 season comes around. You better get your season tickets now if you don’t want to miss out on all the action. I know, you’re just dying to know if your favorite team is one of the 10 that are going to dominate the NHL over the next five years, well take a peak!
