History of NHL Teams

I made this video as part of a school project in 2013. It starts with the "Original Six" for simplicity's sake, but the NHL was around long before that.
en.wikipedia.o...

[@GalaxyGal-]

Atlanta is triggered by Canada. RIP Atlanta Flames and Thrashers.

[@ChristinaLF]

Carl Grimes's Eyepatch I have to settle for the Preds - they seem to acknowledge the Thrashers more than the Jets which is weird when you think about it,

[@nickmiller323]

Idk I feel like Atlanta doesn’t care lol. Definitely not a hockey city.

[@orangecrust76]

Well, Atlanta sports fans have little patience. The Thrashers were horrible every year, so people lost interest.

[@RadiantInkii]

Atlanta Thrasher: NFL i don’t feel so good. *changes to Winnipeg Jets*

[@krispyboi2519]

Milwaukee is triggered by Atlanta RIP Milwaukee Braves and Milwaukee Hawks It appears the flames need a new arena, and Milwaukee has a new arena (I know they’re planning on a new arena to be built in ‘21) Could we complete the circle?

[@devens9724]

The upper peninsula of Michigan is part of Michigan...

[@fligemon]

Wrong.......the UP is part of Rhode Island

[@randomestdragon]

And Vancouver island is part of BC

[@bryanglover7918]

Deven Szlachetka you are right I live thier

[@minecraftcorbinmoore4566]

Deven Szlachetka rrg

[@smakgaming5419]

Deven Szlachetka buddy Montreal was the first idiot Montreal in 1909 and Boston in 1924

[@johnnyroberts3761]

It's sad to see Wisconsin not having an NHL team at all. That's why I'm a Wild fan

[@atrholiday2889]

I have wondered that. I assume Milwaukee is largely content with traveling to Chicago to see a game?

[@johnnyroberts3761]

Aiden Mckenney Wisconsin is about the same size as Minnesota, yet it isn't considered a "big enough" state? Hockey is big here, it beats watching the Bucks.

[@ghl3186]

+Johnny Roberts "Big enough" as in "hockey isn't popular enough". Not as in "a _geographical_ scale".

[@cam3403]

Johnny Roberts I agree. I think Milwaukee and Seattle should both have NHL teams.

[@davaemaximus9333]

G HL Are you kidding me? People from my state of Wisconsin love hockey as much as Minnesota or Colorado. Don't compare a snow covered state bordering Canada like Wisconsin to the sunshine state of Georgia that never even heard of hockey before they got a team.

[@MikeMcCarthy1]

I thought the NHL was founded in 1917 by 4 teams (2 in Montreal, one in Ottawa, and one in Toronto). Cool graphics though...

[@65mcman]

It's was I just don't think he did it

[@st0rmchild]

Toronto's team was originally just called "Toronto Hockey Club" (nicknamed "Blueshirts"). Later renamed "Arenas", then "St. Patricks", and finally "Maple Leafs".

[@mohammadzamir8018]

It was, this video is messed up. Notice how he put boston as the first nhl team.

[@---gk5jv]

It was Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Arenas and Ottawa Senators

[@kingboosh4466]

Mike McCarthy it was

[@larally3408]

Kansas City scouts are from Missouri

[@michaelc2334]

LA Rally I thought the same thing. Obviously Kansas City is also in Kansas, but the arena was in Missouri.

[@joemckim1183]

@@michaelc2334 There is a Kansas City in both states right next to each other. A street goes through separating them called State Line Street with Kansas and Missouri on opposite sides of the road.

[@burningdaylights]

This is the post I was looking for before posting the same thing, myself. Kemper (Hy-Vee Arena now) was in MO, so the state should be split like Alberta or California.

[@tjbright29]

you did good but there is a lot more history before the original six i would love to see a video of that

[@nikkifacchine8829]

Yeah I agree

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

Read the description

[@ThePainLife]

What about the teams that were there before the ''Original six''?

[@mattcampbell8939]

great video! i like how you updated the logos as time went on. The original 6 is a great start point to keep it relevant

[@MegaBar82]

Wish I'm seeing a Québec Nordiques 2.0... =')

[@MegaBar82]

OK... Better luck next year I supose...

[@MegaBar82]

Québec would be lucky if that happens. I mean, relocation is cheaper than buying a new franchise, and Quebecor won't have to start from scratch. If a relocation happens, though I'd love to see the Nordiques again, I'd be very sad for the Hurricanes or Coyotes fans.

[@thecivilwarguy2351]

Hope we stay we got a good shot at the playoffs.

[@thecivilwarguy2351]

Good bye Carolina that's a good song.

[@kalakukko6979]

MegaBar82 quebec city deserves new team

[@menash41]

Montreal was a team before the NHL existed. The inaugural NHL season included the Montreal Canadiens, the Montreal Wanderers, the original Ottawa Senators, and the Toronto Arenas. Therefore, there is no Original 6. Montreal is the original 1.

[@ovechkin100]

i dont like how its started with the "original 6" but nicely done nonethelss

[@kyleberry5044]

You got the Kc Scouts wrong because they were in Kc Missouri

[@Dlabelmard]

this make it looks like the nhl began with the original six

[@georgecurryhistory]

he acknowledges that in the description

[@fdannn6926]

Montreal and Toronto are the two oldest NHL teams at 100+ years old, why aren't they the 2 first teams to be coloured in?

[@ghl3186]

A few teams such as the New York Americans, Original Senators, Quebec Bulldogs, Montreal Maroons... etc are forgotten. Think!

[@justind3583]

should be Mtl, Tor and then the others

[@MikeMcCarthy1]

Not true. leafs weren't even an original team in the NHL.

[@MikeMcCarthy1]

Better than what - the avalanche?

[@lorenzoFCIM1908]

Are you dumb?

[@dylanliddirock3026]

you forgot the old Ottawa Senators

[@tifpo33]

Just below Montreal is the expansion team Ottawa Senators - not the original Ottawa Senators that has won Lord Stanley's Cup as an NHL team. Check out the NHL's 100 years of logos for what you are missing prior to "the original six".

[@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong]

I guess the maker of the video thought Kansas City is in Kansas. Haha

[@EricEbac22]

+Captain Sum Ting Wong There are two cities by the name of Kansas City; one is in Kansas, the other is directly east in the state of Missouri.

[@chrisgo2001]

+EricEbac22 Yeah, and the Scouts played in Kansas City, Missouri.

[@burningdaylights]

@EricEbac22 And when people talk about KC, nine times out of ten they're talking about KC, MO. Where are the Royals from? How about the Chiefs?

[@itzivanplayz4004]

2009 Arizona coyotes went bankrupt and they didn't want to relocate the franchise, and Atlanta thrashers went to Winnipeg, Manitoba to bring back Winnipeg jets (coyotes 1st franchise since 1971), that was a legendary return for jets since they left in the league for 15 years, looks like thrashers savin yotes life for bringing back it's 1st franchise to become 2nd franchise

[@liamdertinger5705]

What about the Brooklyn americans?

[@Kirbystar1234]

2017- Expansion: Las Vegas Golden Knights

[@TheCanucksfan59]

This is a really good video

[@tylerwirth1586]

I can't believe somebody made this

[@rosstheboss70]

You missed all the teams prior to 1942ish. Montreal had another team, Vancouver, Ottawa, Hamilton, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle and St.Louis all had NHL teams in the early years of the NHL, even tho most of then only lasted about a year, Ottawa had their team for about 15 years, winning I think 4 Stanley Cups

[@MikeMcCarthy1]

Ottawa Senators, Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Toronto St.Pats. The ORIGINAL FOUR teams in the NHL.

[@altorhys]

Two times Atlanta got a team, each time they left.

[@rpvids527]

There was teams before the original 6

[@bestbanan]

I love how no logos changed

[@-RunninNGunnin-]

As a kid I was always a fan of Quebec because they had the best players, Forsberg, Sakic and Lindros :D

[@brynncunningham]

Just saying you forgot about the Wanderers and a few other early theams

[@revkenordquist]

I was a little booger-eater when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup with Bobby Hull & crew. It was BLISS getting THREE in half a decade!

[@RadiantInkii]

R.I.P. *Quebec Nordiques*

[@getdusty1]

Good job!! And who will ever forget the Kenora (Ontario) Thistles, Stanley Cup Champions!!!

[@BarcelonaChill]

Of all the Canadian teams, Calgary is the only one not born in Canada.

[@Airmode9000]

You forgot the new Jets, they're from Atlanta too

[@BarcelonaChill]

Airmode9000 Originally, they are! I'm just trying to say, even if they were moved, like Winnipeg then came back to Canada, Calgary is the only one that was bought from the Atlanta Flames and not truly born in Canada!

[@fligemon]

Who knew that Atlanta is the gateway to Canada

[@st0rmchild]

False. Winnipeg Jets were also brought in from Atlanta (Thrashers). The original Winnipeg Jets live on in Arizona (they even have Shane Doan still).

[@BarcelonaChill]

Symmetriq You're not getting the point! The jets were made in Winnipeg, as in created in the city of Winnipeg, but relocated to Atlanta for, probably, financial reasons. They came back as a "fairy tale" ending cause the Thrashers were a low producing team, and the loyal fans of the Jets wanted them back in the city in which they were born! on the other hand, the Atlanta Flames were born in Atlanta, and when it was not advantageous to keep them there, Calgary bought them and brought them to Calgary to become the Calgary Flames. This all happened in 1980 - when the C-train of Calgary was also first introduced as a means of transportation...

[@kellenbrennan6992]

Dude this is so off, there was the nhl before the "original six era" where are the stl Eagles

[@MikeMcCarthy1]

***** and the Ottawa Senators - who became the STL Eagles during the depression

[@rockvilleraven]

+Kellen Brennan It was more like the "surviving six" than the original one.

[@freerider8094]

I don't you say shit about my Boston Bruins

[@madiganyt]

+NSIEGS94 Dude don't forget about the Blackhawks

[@madiganyt]

***** But don't forget the 30's they were good then winning 2 cups

[@matthewklinck709]

Atlanta moved to Winnipeg, next up the nordiques

[@TheNewChevyRoll48]

Matthew Klinck Who would move? Assuming that the NHL doesn't decide to award the other expansion bid to them.

[@BRGeauxBlue95]

***** or they can take that joke of a franchise called the Florida Panthers and put them in Quebec lol

[@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong]

+Brandon5495 The NHL is refusing to relocate them. Carolina should have stayed in Hartford, Panthers should go to Quebec, and Arizona should go to Seattle

[@TheNewChevyRoll48]

Captain Sum Ting Wong Carolina's situation isn't really bad. Also, Hartford tried to get a new arena and they couldn't get an agreement with the city. Even though he had to deal with the current one, the Civic Center only held 15,000 and the Whalers were at the bottom of the league in attendance when they've broke 14,000 only twice ( 86-87 and 87-88 ). Hartford should just stay as an AHL market.

[@EricEbac22]

+Brandon5495 The NHL has no intention of relocating any teams, nor do they have any intention of expanding, at least not any time soon.

[@tiffaniterris2886]

You realize both Toronto and Montreal were around before any American team? Them, Ottawa, Hamilton, and a second Montreal team comprised the original NHL.

[@kingofthetundra374]

NY bring back the fisherman. I may be an OIlers fan but that logo is the best OAT

[@Wolfgang0112]

Nice Effort But The Original Teams Were All In Canada (Exept 2 In America. Watch NHL's "NHL Through The Years")

[@jamison7417]

I like the idea but, 1. Too hard to look at 2. No music/narration 3. Extremely outdated logos 3.5. Michigan, Great Lakes, Ontario not filled correctly?

[@boland73]

Why did you start in the early 40s? The NHL started in 1917... the original six refers to the ones from back in the day that are still going today, not the first six teams.

[@blackhawknero7137]

The Bruins joined the NHL in 1924 while the Canadians and Leafs joined in 1917. The Canadians were founded first in 1909. So yes, the first team is the best because the Canadians have held the most Stanley Cups. The second best is the Blackhawks, its a fact.

[@suckmypuck91]

BlackhawkNero Toronto has 13 and Detroit has 11. From a hawks fan

[@kadenkronfuss3282]

When doing the red wings you forgot the northern peninsula of Michigan

[@tmail2521]

I like the video and I have nothing against you or the setup but you didn't do you numerals on the side right you did I II III and here's where you went wrong, it's supposed to be IV for the 4th Just saying.....

[@SuperTugz]

Very good, but you did miss a rather important logo and color scheme change for the Washington Capitals in the mid 90s through 2008 or so. Other than that, good job.

[@johnmaloney4489]

Impressive

[@Oz2460]

video went way to fast to read and absorb the changes and teams, I'd redo the video with more time between text changes and add in the vegas team.

[@90sNickfan91]

Forgot the NHL teams from 1917-1942.

[@RyanPlays74]

Humm Kansas City scouts were in fact not located in Kansas

[@rjjello]

ottawa rules alot of ontario and a bit of quebec too for quite a bit now

[@fqlsify]

The Original 6 were not the first teams. The Montrèal Canadiens, Montrèal Wonderers, Ottawa Senators, And Toronto Arenas.

[@thegreaterone7305]

Atlanta has 6 million people we should have a hockey team

[@JewUnit6]

cool video

[@justinhillenburg9286]

2021- Seattle NHL Team

[@ocbee6175]

You should have started with the 1917-1918 Season

[@logansanderstheg.o.a.t1048]

how do you make a map like this? Please let me know .

[@dennismckeown5863]

This is not the history of the start of the NHL.The nhl started way before 1942 and there were not six teams.

[@tylertorfs1602]

D mac there's a reason why there called the original 6

[@st0rmchild]

Only two of the "original" six existed when the league was founded. The other four joined the league over the following 10 years.

[@EscudosdeTimes]

This actually is a good Imperalism map 💀

[@p0tent49]

Sad to see some teams up north move south.

[@goknighthawksgo]

Now we got the Las Vegas golden knights. The next nhl team will be in Wisconsin for the central division to even it all up. 32 teams:)

[@suckmypuck91]

Go Knights Go 2018! Lol no it won’t it’s seattle

[@tomahawkplayz8721]

Do one of these for the nba and nfl

[@michaelleroy9281]

This is about logos not about what teams do on the ice there 's other videos for that

[@jadenderer1844]

I'm like 99% sure Montreal was the first franchise

[@alphadog4real53]

You know the Caps are just as popular in Virginia, if not more than Maryland. I'd know, i'm from the DC area in Virginia.

[@jared4walsh]

Saskatchewan Blues 2020's and Quebec

[@floodsterssportszone3814]

100th sub

[@REDhotCANADIAN]

Um the sens from 1900-1932 where is that get ur facts straight

[@nate0605]

I made this as a school project. I am well aware the NHL existed before the "Original Six" of 1942. But for simplicity's sake I started there.

[@REDhotCANADIAN]

Ah I see

[@SarahKayeRen]

And Seattle!

[@xykleogd7180]

This video is inaccurate because of the teams before the original six the Boston Bruins we're not the first NHL team the Kansas City Scouts where in Missouri not Kansas

[@nikkifacchine8829]

What about teams before the original 6?

[@GalaxyGal-]

Since the caps are in DC, not Maryland, you should have also coloured in Virginia, since that's basically where half of the fanbase is.

[@fligemon]

Sure ain't the residents of the Chocolate City

[@kadenhilemam234]

Penguins were originally the pirates and they left the nhl for awhile

[@suckmypuck91]

Kaden Hilemam they weren’t originally the pirates the franchises are completely separate and no one thinks of them as the same.

[@MrWhateverfits]

To think its 2017 the Nashville Predators are only 19, they arnt even old enough to drink.

[@richiemartinez8078]

U forgot the Brooklyn/New York Americans

[@craignelson3243]

Biggest travesty ever was Norm Green being allowed to move the North Stars to Dallas. I would piss on his grave but I wouldn't have pissed on him if he was on fire.

[@Kevin_1337]

You know the Milwaukee admirals were also a team but I don't know what happened to them

[@dancedylandance4]

AHL affiliate.

[@taranloses]

They're the AHL affiliate of the Nashville Predators

[@mason.11]

2017 to be Expansion XI :) Nice video

[@TobyReese]

Mason 11 which is so stupid

[@mason.11]

+TreyP True. Las Vegas is gonna be like Phoenix imo.. If we're expanding the NHL bring them to Quebec City or Hartford

[@TobyReese]

Mason 11 Exactly! Or just move Arizona somewhere else. I mean, really? Arizona? Hockey?! Yeah, I totally agree. Arizona could go to Seattle or Atlanta... actually... Atlanta couldn't sustain a third NHL team... or maybe Maine. Also, the league doesn't need 31 teams.

[@Mohazah]

Mason 11 in August I saw the stadium being built not this August over a year later august

[@mason.11]

+MohazahYT I'd say I like the T-Mobile arena

[@joeorsini6110]

Honestly after watching this I see why people wanted to redistribute teams to america. There was NO hockey there until recently.

The Seals logo is a fake fan design and not what they used.

[@yolky2474]

Seattle hockey team? Anyone think so? They have Seattle in Nba, Nfl, Mls, Mlb, and so on.

[@suckmypuck91]

Yolk _ Dem were really close to the Seattle team getting approved

[@SharkToothCraft]

PHOENIX CYOTES CHANGE NAME TO ARIZONA CYOTES!

[@kalebreed4094]

I thought the Washington Capitals where in DC

[@hanrattyman3343]

Incomplete history. You missed the original Ottawa Senators, Quebec Bulldogs, and others from the 1917-1942 period BEFORE the "Original Six"

[@J._Luck]

I want my thrasher back

[@brent0580]

Edmonton is the capital city not Calgary

[@suckmypuck91]

Brent Lee when did he say anything about a capital

[@clorpy897]

And now the Vegas Knights

[@nathanbabiuk6286]

yeah where's the golden knights? It's ok they won't be around too long anyway

[@suckmypuck91]

Nathan Babiuk this didn’t age well

[@nolankuczaj5737]

Montreal was the first ever team

[@st0rmchild]

It wouldn't have been much of a league with one team. Montréal actually had two teams (the Canadiens and the Wanderers, who folded halfway through the season), and there were two other teams when the NHL was founded: Toronto Hockey Club and Ottawa Senators.

[@Vhirtuel]

Is this about the community of hockey

[@lionrust]

What about the Vancouver millionaires

[@GK08_Productions]

2017 - Vegas golden nights

[@J._Luck]

noooo my Atlanta thrasher

[@timc7829]

By the end of the video, you have 9 incorrect logos.
