About National Hockey League (NHL)

  • Founding and Expansion

The NHL was founded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on November 26 1917 replacing the National Hockey Association (NHA) that had recently disbanded. Initially the NHL started with four teams; the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Arenas. In the 1920s the league extended its reach to include teams, from the United States. By the 1940s it comprised of what became known as the “Original Six” teams; Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks. Significant growth occurred in 1967 when the league doubled its size to include 12 teams. As of my check in September 2021 the NHL has expanded further. Now boasts a total of 32 teams; with 25 based in the United States and seven in Canada.
