 | | 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. |
 | | Although the league was struggling to stay in the business for its first decade, the NHL teams were very successful, winning the Stanley Cup seven out of its first nine years (with one having been cancelled because of the Spanish Flu epidemic hitting Seattle). |
 | | It was one minor league, the Western Hockey League, and its plans to turn itself into a major league and challenge for the Stanley Cup that led the NHL to expand in 1967, 25 years after the formation of the Original Six. |
