NHL timeline

[edit]

Intro

[edit]

The National Hockey League (NHL) formed in 1917 when several owners from the National Hockey Association (NHA) left the league over a dispute with Toronto Blueshirts owner Eddie Livingstone. Originally intended to be a temporary league,[1] by 2007 the 30 teams of the NHL were worth a combined US$6 billion.[2]

1917–42

[edit]

The league began play with four teams: the Montreal Canadians, Montreal Wanderers, Toronto Arenas, and the Ottawa Senators.[3] Although an original member, the Quebec Bulldogs would not begin play until 1919 due to financial difficulties. Also in 1919, the Toronto St. Patricks began play, replacing the Arenas. After a single season of play, the Bulldogs would relocate, becoming the Hamilton Tigers. The four team league would continue until adding the Montreal Maroons and the Boston Bruins for the 1924–25 season. The New York Americans began play in 1925 along with the NHL's third American-based team, the Pittsburgh Pirates.[4] Another expansion for the 1926–27 season added the New York Rangers, Chicago Black Hawks, and Detroit Cougars, who would later become the Red Wings. The three new franchises brought the NHL to ten teams. At the end of the 1929–30 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates were $400,000 in debt and relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to become the Philadelphia Quakers.[5] Despite the relocation, the franchise would last only last for one more season before suspending operations in 1931 along with the Ottawa Senators.[6] The Senators would resume operations after missing a single season. They would play through the 1933–34 season, at which point they relocated and became the St. Louis Eagles. After a season in St. Louis, the league bought and dissolved the team. In financial difficulty, and unable to compete with the Canadiens for fan support in Montreal, the Maroons suspended operations prior to the 1938–39 season.[7] Due to a lack of players, because of those serving in World War II, and financial problems the Americans were suspended prior to the 1942–43 season. Thus began what became known as the "Original Six" era of the National Hockey League.

Original Six

[edit]

The Original Six consisted of the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, and the Chicago Blackhawks. They would make up the leagues for 24 seasons from the 1942-43 season to the 1967 NHL Expansion.

Steelers history

[edit]

In 1916, Art Rooney founded the Hope Harvey semi-pro football team.[1] "In a way, I guess that was the start of the Steelers. It grew from that," Rooney would later say.[1] Rooney, who was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area, was an "exceptional all-around athlete".[2] He was recruited by Knute Rockne to play football for Notre Dame.[2] Both the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs were intrested in his baseball skill.[2] He was named to the 1920 Olympic boxing team, but did not participate.[3] His love of sports would lead to him becoming organizer and promoter of sports, which played a role in his founding of the Harveys.[4] The Harveys, who would later change names to the J.P. Rooneys, played at Exposition Park in Pittsburgh.[1] Due to Pennsylvania's blue laws, which prohibited athletic competition on Sundays because it was the Sabbath, the team did not join the NFL.[1] However, in 1933 some blue laws were repealed, allowing the team to join the league.[1] Rooney founded his new NFL team under the name the Pittsburgh Pirates, on July 8 1933, for US$2,500.[5][6]

Despite his new football team, Art Rooney's concentration remained on placing bets on horse racing. A life long hobby, Rooney once won an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 in a single day of betting, in 1936.[6] It would later become legend that Art Rooney won the Pirates while betting on a horse race,[7] however, this is not true.[1][8] While Rooney faired well off the field, Pirates struggled on it. Rooney hired Forrest "Jap" Douds to be the team's first head coach,[1] but he would last only one season.[9] Pittsburgh's first game, against the New York Giants would be a 23–2 defeat.[10] Rooney wrote of the game, "The Giants won. Our team looks terrible. The fans didn't get their money's worth."[11] The Pirates would rebound to gain their first ever franchise vicory a week later, by a single point, against the Chicago Cardinals.[10]
