It's possible a couple of these men were still alive when the Leafs last won the Stanley Cup.

[@jckhammer]

I thought this was footage from that game

[@grimmc5706]

Jckhammer hammer ha

[@andrefortin7704]

Nope…

[@Knucklehead2009]

[@KarasuCosplay]

Leafs' last cup was in 1967😅😅

[@Erikk87]

[@joevolpini4038]

More like I see Gordie Howe's Father playing.

[@robs6563]

Rail workers from Montreal actually played this game on West Orange’s Crystal Lake in New Jersey 120 years ago on Thursday Feb 24, 1898. Filmed by the Thomas Edison film crew. Edison’s famous lab is just 1 mile down the hill from Crystal Lake.

5yr old comment, but I still appreciate it. Thanks for sharing

[@user-dc3cg2br3z]

Wow thank you

[@TotalMishap]

If they only knew how big this game would become.

[@MarkRichards4Prez]

The smallest of the big 4. Often overshadowed by Football, Soccer and Baseball.

[@hiwifi4898]

@@MarkRichards4Prez soccer isn’t a part of the big 4. It’s football, baseball, basketball and hockey. At least in America cuz nobody in America watches soccer.

[@MarkRichards4Prez]

@@hiwifi4898 I forgot Basketball existed for a second. And I said soccer cuz it’s probably the most popular sport since it’s so beloved in both Europe and Latin America

Even back then hockey looked fun !

This was 'Grapes' first between periods showing of "Coach's Corner." Ron McLean wouldn't be born for another 50 years or so.

[@ilarivaisanen]

xDDD :)

[@BrewersFan743]

ha

[@aberamagold7509]

And standing up. They look like, bad, 5 year olds... This was in 1889 and according to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Hockey started in 1875. ... so considering how bad these guys were they either; just started playing fairly recently, were simply bad players or their skates were as shit and hard to stand up on, let alone skate, as they looked.

[@CarsRLife75726]

[@brettpatterson404]

Jaromir Jagr rookie footage.

Filmed in Newark, New Jersey.

I know this is a joke but I feel like I NEED to correct this. The last Stanley Cup win by the leafs was in 1967.

[@Rangerswincup]

Too many men...

I love how weak the guy hits it but back then it was a good shot and everyone was having fun

Did somebody say something about changing anything?

[@mikemyros4142]

A fight would have been nice.....

[@pty8s]

Nahh y’all wrong. That was us crazies up here in ToeRonToe. We still slip sliding along on with our wheelie chairs, and stick handlin’ like Jigs Philligun. Soon weez be playing in a our power chairs, then ifn there’s room enough t’on the ice, we be sliding in them power beds. You see the deep freeze keeps the age defying dna chain from breakin’. Just ask anyone left.

[@carterrobinson7431]

was the jagr i saw on the left?

hockey in its prime lol

[@joakimsjostrand524]

That's not hockey, it's bandy

[@lessbigzee]

+Lakebeach _ Honestly, it could be either. At this time, pond hockey would have been pretty indistinguishable from pond bandy, especially with this small a sample of footage. However, you can see the puck slide (not roll like a bandy ball) toward the end. It probably is bounding and tumbling so much in the beginning because its a wooden or soft rubber homemade puck.
