Summary: These "establishment years" of the NHL featured some greats of the
game that helped shape the history of hockey. The 20's would be a time of rule
changes and development with the "Golden Age of Sport" taking center stage. The 30's
brought Toronto a brand new arena as Maple Leaf Gardens was built in only five months,
opening in 1931. The 40's saw the beginning of the "Original Six" TM era beginning in 1942
and ending in 1967 with teams in Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and
Toronto. Although during this time teams would come and go, hockey would evolve into
the game we love and play today.
Coverage:
Rare various game action from the 1940’s featuring leading teams such as the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens.
Unique hockey moments from the 1933 Playoffs, Foster Hewitt interviewing old-time hockey greats such as King Clancy, Charlie Conacher and Conn Smythe in the dressing rooms and the opening of Maple Leaf Gardens in 1931 are just a few of various other shots from the early years of hockey.
