Template:Infobox NHL team/doc

Usage

All fields are optional, except for team name, logo, founding date, city and the CAN_eng variable. CAN_eng should be set to "1" or "true" (which switches the box to Canadian spelling) for Canadian-based teams.

• Avco = Avco World Trophy (former WHA teams only)

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the organisation's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

• If the organisation has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).
• If the organisation has a URL, use {{URL}}.
• If the organisation has a "coordinates" field, use {{Coord}} to include a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
