The 1917-18 NHL season was the first season of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . The league was formed after the suspension of the National Hockey Association ( NHA ) . Play was held in two halves , December 19 to February 4 , and February 6 to March 6 . The Canadiens won the first half , and Toronto the second half . The Montreal Wanderers withdrew early in January 1918 after their rink , the Westmount Arena , burned down . Toronto won the NHL playoff and then won the Stanley Cup by defeating the PCHA 's Vancouver Millionaires three games to two in a best-of-five series .
Maurice Joseph Phantom Joe Malone ( February 28 , 1890 - May 15 , 1969 ) was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who played in the National Hockey Association and National Hockey League . He was notable for his scoring feats and his clean play . He scored the third-most career goals of any player in major hockey 's first half-century ( behind Newsy Lalonde and Nels Stewart ) and is the only player in the history of the NHL to score seven goals in a single game .
The Montreal Canadiens [ note 3 ] ( French : Les Canadiens de Montréal ) are a professional ice hockey team based in Montreal . They compete in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference . The club 's official name is le Club de hockey Canadien . The team is frequently referred to in English and French as the Habs . French nicknames for the team include Les Canadiens ( or Le Canadien ) , Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge , La Sainte-Flanelle , Le Tricolore , Les Glorieux ( or Nos Glorieux ) , Le CH , Le Grand Club and Les Habitants ( from which Habs is derived ) . Founded in 1909 , the Canadiens are the longest continuously operating professional ice hockey team worldwide , and the only existing NHL club to predate the founding of the NHL . One of the oldest North American professional sports franchises , the Canadiens ' history predates that of every other Canadian franchise outside football as well as every American franchise outside baseball and the National Football League 's Arizona Cardinals . The franchise is one of the Original Six teams , a description used for the teams that made up the NHL from 1942 until the 1967 expansion . The team 's championship season in 1992-93 was the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup . The Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup more times than any other franchise . They have won 24 Stanley Cup championships , 23 of them since the founding of the NHL and 22 of them since 1927 , when NHL teams became the only ones to compete for the Stanley Cup . On a percentage basis , as of 2014 [ needs update ] , the franchise has won 25.3% of all Stanley Cup championships contested after the Challenge Cup era , making it the second most successful professional sports team of the traditional four major sports of Canada and the United States , behind only the Boston Celtics .
The 1918-19 NHL season was the second season of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . While at first it was uncertain that the NHL would operate , and the possibility that National Hockey Association ( NHA ) would be resumed , the unfinished business of Eddie Livingstone 's Toronto and Ottawa 's NHA franchise , led to the NHL owners suspending the NHA again . Livingstone would attempt to overthrow the NHA management , and failing that , attempt to operate a rival league . The pre-season was filled with legal actions , deceptions and public verbal attacks . Ultimately , the NHL operated with three teams , in Montreal , Ottawa and Toronto . However , the season ended early with Toronto suspending operations , leaving Montreal and Ottawa to play off for the championship . Montreal would win the playoff and travel to Seattle for the Stanley Cup final . However , the Cup series would not be completed due to influenza infecting the whole Montreal team and causing the eventual death of Montreal 's Joe Hall .
Édouard Cyrille Newsy Lalonde ( October 31 , 1887 - November 21 , 1970 ) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) and a professional lacrosse player . Lalonde is regarded as one of hockey 's and lacrosse 's greatest players of the first half of the 20th century and one of sport 's most colourful characters . He played for the Montreal Canadiens - considered to be the original Flying Frenchman - in the National Hockey Association and the NHL . He also played for the WCHL 's Saskatoon Sheiks .
The 1919-20 NHL season was the third season of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . A Quebec team was activated by the NHL , increasing the number of teams to four . The four teams played 24 games in a split-schedule format . The Ottawa Senators won the league championship by winning both halves of the split-season . The Senators went on to win the Stanley Cup by defeating the PCHA 's Seattle Metropolitans three games to two in a best-of-five series .
The Quebec Bulldogs were a men 's senior-level ice hockey team based in Quebec City , Quebec , Canada . The team was officially known as the Quebec Hockey Club , and later as the Quebec Athletic Club . One of the first organized ice hockey clubs , the club debuted in 1878 with the opening of the Quebec Skating Rink . The club continued as an amateur team through various leagues , eventually becoming professional in 1908 . The club would play in the National Hockey Association ( the forerunner to the NHL ) and the National Hockey League . In 1920 , the team moved to Hamilton , Ontario and became the Hamilton Tigers .
The 1920-21 NHL season was the fourth season of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . Four teams each played 24 games in a split season . The Quebec franchise was transferred to Hamilton , Ontario , to become the Hamilton Tigers . The Ottawa Senators won the league championship in a playoff with the Toronto St. Patricks . The Senators went on to win the Stanley Cup by defeating the Vancouver Millionaires of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association three games to two in a best-of-five series . This would be the last split season before the NHL changed its regular season and playoff formats .
The 1921-22 NHL season was the fifth season of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . Four teams each played 24 games . The league dropped the split season and the two top teams played off for the league championship . The second-place Toronto St. Patricks defeated the first-place Ottawa Senators for the league championship . For the first four seasons of the NHL , the winner of the league playoffs had faced the winner of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association ( PCHA ) for the Stanley Cup . That changed this season with the introduction of another professional hockey league called the Western Canada Hockey League ( WCHL ) . Now , three leagues were competing for the coveted Stanley Cup . The winner of a playoff between the PCHA and the WCHL travelled to Toronto to play off for the Stanley Cup . The St. Patricks defeated the Vancouver Millionaires to win the Stanley Cup .
Harold Lawton Harry Punch Broadbent ( July 13 , 1892 - March 6 , 1971 ) was a Canadian ice hockey player . Broadbent played for the Ottawa Senators , Montreal Maroons and the New York Americans in the National Hockey Association ( NHA ) and National Hockey League ( NHL ) . He is generally regarded as one of the first true power forwards in NHL history .
The Ottawa Senators were an ice hockey team based in Ottawa , Ontario , Canada which existed from 1883 to 1954 . The club was the first hockey club in Ontario , a founding member of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) and played in the NHL from 1917 until 1934 . The club , which was officially the Ottawa Hockey Club ( Ottawa HC ) , was known by several nicknames , including the Generals in the 1890s , the Silver Seven from 1903 to 1907 and the Senators dating from 1908 . Generally acknowledged by hockey historians as one of the greatest teams of the early days of the sport , the club won numerous championships , starting with the 1891 to 1893 Ontario championships . Ottawa HC played in the first season during which the Stanley Cup was challenged in 1893 , and first won the Cup in 1903 , holding the championship until 1906 ( the Silver Seven years ) . The club repeated its success in the 1920s , winning the Stanley Cup in 1920 , 1921 , 1923 and 1927 ( the Super Six years ) . In total , the club won the Stanley Cup eleven times , including challenges during two years it did not win the Cup for the season . In 1950 , Canadian sports editors selected the Ottawa HC/Senators as Canada 's greatest team in the first half of the 20th century . The club was one of the first organized clubs in the early days of the sport of ice hockey , playing in the Montreal Winter Carnival ice hockey tournaments in the early 1880s and founding the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada and the Ontario Hockey Association . Along with the rise of professionalism in ice hockey in the first decade of the 1900s , the club changed to a professional team and were founding members of the National Hockey Association ( NHA ) and its successor , the National Hockey League . The club competed in the NHL until the 1933-34 season . Due to financial difficulties , the NHL franchise relocated to St. Louis , Missouri to become the St. Louis Eagles .
The 1922-23 NHL season was the sixth season of the National Hockey League . Four teams played 24 games each . The Ottawa Senators defeated the Montreal Canadiens for the NHL championship , and then defeated Vancouver and Edmonton to win the Stanley Cup .
Cecil Henry Babe Dye ( May 13 , 1897 - January 3 , 1962 ) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played 11 seasons in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) for the Toronto St. Patricks/Maple Leafs , Chicago Black Hawks , and the New York Americans . Born in Hamilton , Ontario , Dye was known as an excellent stick-handler , and goal-scorer . Dye began his professional ice hockey career with the Toronto St. Patricks in 1919 . He became the NHL 's scoring champion in the 1922-23 season , a feat he repeated during the 1924-25 season . In 1926 , the St. Patricks sold Dye 's contract to the Chicago Black Hawks . In 1927 , Dye suffered a major leg injury during training camp , and did not return to play until the last 10 games of that season . Following that season , he was traded to the New York Americans . Dye 's production dropped significantly as a result of his leg injury , and was reassigned to the Americans ' minor league affiliate , the New Haven Eagles in 1929 . The next year , Dye signed as a free agent with the first professional team he played for , since renamed the Maple Leafs . Dye played six games with the Maple Leafs before he retired from the sport . He won his only Stanley Cup with the St. Patricks , in 1922 . He was the NHL 's top goal scorer of the 1920s , and remains the St. Patricks/Maple Leafs ' all-time franchise points per game leader .
The Toronto St. Patricks were a professional men 's ice hockey team which began playing in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) in 1919 . The Toronto NHL franchise ( league membership ) had previously been held by the Arena Company ( and the team called the Arenas ) , but despite winning the Stanley Cup the team was bankrupt and pulled out of the league after just two seasons . The rights to the Toronto franchise were purchased by a group of investors with links to an amateur club called the St. Patricks . The new owners renamed the NHL franchise after the amateur club , and as the St. Patricks the team won the Stanley Cup in 1922 . J.P. Bickell invested in the St. Patricks in 1924 as a favor to Charlie Querrie . In 1927 , Charlie Querrie and other investors wanted out , J.P. Bickell made arrangements for other Toronto investors and initially hired Mike Rodden the Referee and sports writer to run the hockey operations , which did n't work out . He then hired Conn Smythe as the Managing Partner . The team was then renamed the Toronto Maple Leafs for a number of reasons , two of which are the Maple Leaf was an unofficial Canadian national symbol and secondly it was the name of the Toronto Maple Leaf Baseball Club 1896-1967 . They played from Maple Leaf Stadium since 1926 .
The 1923-24 NHL season was the seventh season of the National Hockey League . Four teams each played 24 games . The league champions were the Montreal Canadiens , who defeated the first-place Ottawa Senators in the league playoff . The Canadiens then defeated the Calgary Tigers of the Western Canada Hockey League ( WCHL ) and Vancouver Maroons of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association ( PCHA ) to win their second Stanley Cup championship .
Cyril Joseph Denneny ( December 23 , 1891 - September 10 , 1970 ) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played for the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League and the Toronto Blueshirts of the National Hockey Association . His brother Corbett Denneny also played in the NHL .
The 1924-25 NHL season was the eighth season of the National Hockey League . The NHL added two teams this season , a second team in Montreal , the Montreal Maroons and the first U.S. team , the Boston Bruins . Six teams each played 30 games . The NHL regular-season champion Hamilton Tigers did not participate in the playoffs , as their players demanded to their owner , Percy Thompson , that they would not participate in the NHL championship series unless they received an additional $ 200 each for the extra six games played that year . Under their contracts , the Tigers players were to receive the same amount of money no matter how many games they played from December 1 , 1924 , to March 31 , 1925 ( even though the season started on November 29 , 1924 ) . NHL President Frank Calder was not amused , stating that the players would be fined or suspended if they did not play in the final series , but the players stated that they would rather retire than advantage be taken of them . The day of the final game of the Semi-Final , Tiger Shorty Green met with Calder to try to reach an agreement , but to no avail . The players were all suspended and fined $ 200 each , therefore eliminating themselves from the playoffs . Because of the suspension , the semi-final playoff series between Montreal and Toronto became the NHL championship series . The Montreal Canadiens won the series and faced off against the Victoria Cougars of the Western Canada Hockey League ( WCHL ) for the Stanley Cup . Victoria won the series , the last non-NHL team to win the Cup .
The 1925-26 NHL season was the ninth season of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . The NHL dropped the Hamilton , Ontario team and added two new teams in the United States ( US ) , the New York Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates to bring the total number of teams to seven . The Ottawa Senators were the regular-season champion , but lost in the NHL playoff final to the Montreal Maroons . The Maroons then defeated the defending Stanley Cup champion Victoria Cougars of the newly renamed Western Hockey League three games to one in a best-of-five series to win their first Stanley Cup .
Robert Nelson Old Poison Stewart ( December 29 , 1902 - August 21 , 1957 ) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played for the Montreal Maroons , New York Americans and Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League . He is an Honoured Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame .
The Montreal Maroons ( officially the Montreal Professional Hockey Club ) were a professional men 's ice hockey team in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . They played in the NHL from 1924 to 1938 , winning the Stanley Cup in 1926 and 1935 . They were the last non-Original Six team to win the Stanley Cup until the expansion Philadelphia Flyers won in 1974 . Founded as a team for the English community in Montreal , they shared their home city with the Canadiens , who eventually came under the same ownership as the Maroons but were intended to appeal to the French Canadian population . This was the first time since 1918 , when the Montreal Wanderers folded , that Montreal would have a second hockey team . In order to accommodate the Maroons , a new arena was built for them in 1924 , the Montreal Forum . The Maroons were a highly competitive team , winning the Stanley Cup twice and finishing first in their division twice more . Some of the best players of the era played for the Maroons ; eleven players would be elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame , while five of the six head coaches of the Maroons were also honoured . Financial difficulties resulting from the Great Depression led to the Maroons suspending play after 1938 . Despite efforts to revive the team , the franchise was cancelled in 1947 , leaving the Canadiens as the sole team in Montreal . Since the Maroons ' demise , no NHL team that has won a Stanley Cup at any point in its history has subsequently folded or relocated .
The 1926-27 NHL season was the tenth season of the National Hockey League . The success of the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Pirates led the NHL to expand further within the United States . The league added three new teams : the Chicago Black Hawks , Detroit Cougars and New York Rangers , to make a total of ten , split in two divisions . This resulted in teams based in Canada being in the minority for the first time . To stock the teams with players the new teams brought in players from the Western Hockey League , which folded in May 1926 . This left the NHL in sole possession of hockey 's top players , as well as sole control of hockey 's top trophy , the Stanley Cup , which was won by the Ottawa Senators . This was the original Senators ' eleventh and final Stanley Cup win . The Senators ' first was in 1903 .
William Osser Xavier Cook ( October 8 , 1895 - May 5 , 1986 ) was a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played for the Saskatoon Crescents of the Western Canada Hockey League ( WCHL ) and the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . A prolific scorer , Cook led the WCHL in goals twice and the NHL three times . He was named an all-star seven times between the two leagues . Known as The Original Ranger , Cook was the first captain of the New York Rangers , scored the first goal in franchise history and led the team to two Stanley Cup championships . Turning to coaching following his playing career , Cook led the Cleveland Barons to two Calder Cup championships and the Minneapolis Millers to a United States Hockey League championship . He coached the New York Rangers during the 1951-52 NHL season until his retirement in 1953 . Cook was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1952 and Canada 's Sports Hall of Fame in 1975 .
The New York Rangers are a professional ice hockey team based in New York City . They compete in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference . The team plays its home games at Madison Square Garden in the borough of Manhattan , an arena they share with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) . They are one of three NHL teams located in the New York metropolitan area ; the others being the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders . Founded in 1926 by Tex Rickard , the Rangers are one of the Original Six teams that competed in the NHL before its 1967 expansion , along with the Boston Bruins , Chicago Blackhawks , Detroit Red Wings , Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs . The team attained success early on under the guidance of Lester Patrick , who coached a team containing Frank Boucher , Murray Murdoch , and Bun and Bill Cook to Stanley Cup glory in 1928 , making them the first NHL franchise in the United States to win the trophy . The team would then go onto win two additional Stanley Cups in 1933 and 1940 . Following this initial grace period , the franchise struggled between the 1940s and 1960s , whereby playoff appearances and success was infrequent . The team enjoyed a mini renaissance in the 1970s , where they made the Stanley Cup finals twice , albeit , losing to the Bruins in 1972 and the Canadiens in 1979 . The Rangers subsequently embraced a rebuild for much of the 1980s and early 1990s , which eventually paid dividends , where the team , led by Mark Messier , Brian Leetch , Adam Graves , and Mike Richter , captured their fourth Stanley Cup in 1994 . The team was unable to duplicate that success in the years that followed , and entered into another period of mediocrity . They endured a franchise-record seven-year postseason drought from 1998 to 2005 , and languished for the majority of the 2000s before enjoying another period of prosperity after the 2004-05 NHL Lockout .
The 1927-28 NHL season was the 11th season of the National Hockey League . Ten teams played 44 games each . The New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup beating the Montreal Maroons , becoming the first United States-based NHL team to win it .
