Most people that play the game to today have no idea when or where it started. The game of hockey has been played for over 400 years! at first they used a stick and a rock but it was basically the same idea. The first season of NHL was in 1917-18 with just four teams. The league expanded in the 1920s but when the great depression hit the NHL was reduced to the original 6. The original 6 was just Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, and Detroit Red Wings. The NHL doubled in teams in 1967 when they expanded into east and west divisions. The league continued to expand into what it is now there is 30 teams across North America all competing for the Stanley Cup.
