NHL ETFs Are A Trap For Hockey Fans

Volatility Shares and Roundhill have both filed for 32 NHL team ETFs. I think investors, hockey fans, and gamblers should avoid all of them, whichever issuer wins. I ran the 2025-2026 season through the FutureSports methodology. The index rankings and the NHL standings line up about 91% of the time. Most stats carry equal positive and negative attribution, but penalties and clinches do not. That one-way scoring drags the whole league about 2% lower by season end.

IYZ: Stable Cash Flows From Telecom Carriers And Fiber Expansion

iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF is a buy due to its stable cash flows and dividend income potential from mature telecom holdings. IYZ's top holdings—Cisco, Verizon, and AT&T—anchor the fund with durable networks, benefiting from AI infrastructure and fiber expansion. Despite underperforming peers like VOX and XTL, IYZ offers a higher dividend yield (1.69%) and attractive long-term risk/reward through steady income streams.

IYZ: Concentrated Telco ETF, Hard To See The Upside

IYZ underperforms both its peer XTL and the S&P 500, with disappointing returns and unattractive projected industry growth. The U.S. telecom sector faces slow growth (3-3.7% CAGR), increasing headwinds from big tech, and limited upside from AI and 5G trends. Given industry perspectives, valuation concerns, and better alternatives, I do not recommend IYZ; targeted exposure to select companies is preferable.
