 | | On November 26, 1917, in Montreal's Windsor Hotel, the National Hockey League was formed, with the Canadiens, the Wanderers, the Senators, the Bulldogs, and the newly-renamed Toronto Arenas as its founding members. |
 | | By then, although hockey remained popular in Canada, the popularity of hockey in the United States, especially the American south, dwindled to the point where many considered hockey to be a "minor sport" among American staples such as baseball, basketball, and American football. |
 | | The National Hockey League also presents numerous trophies, in addition to the Stanley Cup for the overall playoff champion as well as the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl and the Prince of Wales Trophy for the conference playoff champions. |
