23 games, or half the year.I think compared to other sports, the season is just as long, but as someone said, it's low number of games is due to the brutality of the sport, and the healing time needed between games.

I thought the NHL was also a violent collison/contact sport - but their season runs from September to the final of the Stanley Cup in April.
Also, am I correct in thinking that for one, or possibly two years, the NHL was suspended? Finance was the concern I believe.
