1927 Stanley Cup Finals

The 1927 Stanley Cup Final NHL championship series was contested by the Ottawa Senators and the Boston Bruins. It was the first solely contested by National Hockey League teams since the demise of the Western Hockey League. As of 2024, the Cup has not been contested by teams outside the league. It was won by the Ottawa Senators, coached by Dave Gill, over the Boston Bruins, coached by Art Ross. This was the Senators' fourth win since 1920, and eleventh overall, but it marked the end of the dynasty. The original Senators did not win another.
==The Series==
The Stanley Cup Final was a best of three out of five series.Boston Transcript, p.6 April 6, 1927. If a match was tied after one twenty-minute overtime period, the game went in the books as a tie. Rough play marred the series as in the final game, Hooley Smith cross-checked Boston's Harry Oliver in the nose and broke it. Late in the game Billy Coutu attacked referee Jerry Laflamme and tackled referee Billy Bell. He was subsequently expelled for life. Hooley Smith was suspended for one month of the following season for his attack on Oliver.
The April 13, 1927, game at the Ottawa Auditorium was the last Stanley Cup Final game in Ottawa until the June 2, 2007, game played at Scotiabank Place between the modern Senators and the Anaheim Ducks. One fan, Russell Williams, attended both games, both won by Ottawa.
