Hockey A Peoples History Pt 3

[@Y4WN]

please KZbin don't remove this beautiful piece of history, its the greatest documentary out here

[@LordStanley94]

I just want to thank you so much for this wonderful piece of hockey history. Geez, I can't get away from my computer. With Lord Stanley's Cup in full battle and now this piece, my eyes are glued to the screen. I wish they had kept the division's in he NHL to preserve the history. But as with anything in life--evolution and progress take center stage. LETS GO RANGERS!!!

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

The divisions and names even though the owners were taking full advantage of the players.

[@billc756]

From LA, thank you for uploading this wonderful interesting series about "The best game you can name". (tribute to 'Stompin Tom Connors for everybody there.)

[@hexesandsoldiers6032]

somebody please make a movie about Conn Smythe's life!

[@AJP_17]

Masterpiece 🎩

[@ihawp]

I love this series!

[@markedwardhayes]

I just want to point out when this episode gets to the point where the NHL starts expanding from the four Canadian team's into the United States, it's suggests that the New York American's formed in 1925 were the first American team, when in fact the Boston Bruins who were formed in 1924 were the first American team. I hope I'm not being petty, but I think this fact is significant enough to draw attention to....

[@WhiteCamry]

Well and true enough, but there's no Conn Smythe angle to draw from that. They would have had to do a whole other episode just to go from the Bruins to the Amerks to the Rangers before getting to Smythe, and the producers clearly didn't have the budget. They didn't even explain how the NHA became the NHL.

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

@@WhiteCamry They disbanded the NHA to get rid of one owner and not allowing him to join, The newly formed NHL. Bruins were 1st American NHL organization. Budget? BUDGET? You can't be serious.

[@johnshields6852]

1970 to 1976 our allstar team from Boston would go to a different Canadian city every year, the families that housed and fed us were amazing people, they have a young Boston kid the time of his life. Thank you dearly. 🇨🇦🏒🇺🇸

[@simonmarshall19]

To me . Howie Morenz was the Babe Ruth of hockey

[@fredericjeanbart9283]

18:50 That's exactly what happened with French Canadiens (simply called "Canadiens" in that era), barred from pro Hockey, thus the advent of the National (and shortly after "Le Canadien", thanks to fellow Irish catholics). Not out of nationalism from racialist French Canadiens as is insinuated in this "documentary", but because WASPs saw it and wanted it that way, as Canadiens were considered second class citizens : since the "Red Coats" invasion after what they themselves called "French and Indian War", Canada was a British colonial regime, and English Canadiens considered themselves first and foremost as English/British citizens loyal to the Crown ("loyalists", of whom many fled USA after the war of independence) - another reason why the term "Canadiens" was reserved /exclusive to those who nowadays are called "French Canadiens". It's only after WW1, especially after WW2 and the fall of colonialism that originated from European countries, that things began to change... But not without a struggle. And a man like Maurice the Rocket Richard to pave the way, as well as confront deviant habits on both sides (Francophobe xenophobia on one hand, loser attitude on the other).

[@StevexOwnz]

the ending was just beautiful.

[@solaflair]

This is so interesting!

[@punman5392]

The Boston Bruins were the first American NHL team. Not the Americans as the video seems to imply.

[@lifesadventures6934]

Thanks for sharing!

[@el_chino778]

Thanks for posting these!!!

[@doctorspencer9001]

Conn Smythe like him hate him he was a great soldier he also saved Toronto hockey made them the Maple Leafs and also in the Great depression when money was impossible he got Maple Leafs garden built.

[@billcornwell3619]

Who played the drums in the end credits music? Maybe Neil Peart of RUSH?

[@doctorspencer9001]

1920 was also a start for what would go on till 1953 Team Canada dominating the other teams till the Soviet Union started there dynasty then drawed a good rivalry with Canada vs Soviet Union

[@punman5392]

19:23 NHL Battle Royale confirmed

[@reecesamuel2023]

In Canadia they say Toe Hold in America they say foot hold I don't know why I find that distinction amusing but I do

[@ethanwood9124]

Conn Smythe was a badass

[@MrFelixify]

23:11 aww :) thanks Canada. love it.

[@fromsupply2superfly101]

A funny thing aboat the swedes is that they hadn’t played hockey (with a puck) for more than a couple of months. They Where bandyplayers but since the turnement was invitational they Where legit just for forming a team. The silver was a beguinners luck that boosted Sweden to a Future power house of hockey

[@_coggs_]

funny enough, the swedes didn’t get silver, the americans did, despite the swedes losing in the gold medal game. it was a weird format

[@daydaviddunn]

That was burn by Harold Ballard As well as those banners up there he sold them

[@doctorspencer9001]

howie morenz was one the 1st great Canadiens player to ever lace up a pair of skates its sad his career had to end the way it did RIP howie morenz im saying this as a Bruins fan.

[@MrDuckeyPants]

the bruins came before the rangers and the americans tho

[@punman5392]

I was thinking the same thing! Boston deserves more credit

[@paladin313]

See a lot of Gretzky comments, but nothing of Bobby Orr commenting yet. I think he was a player just as good and instrumental to hockey, and just wonder if they just couldn't get him to comment or something. He and Gretzky are the greatest. along with Howe, Richards, and LaPlante. (Speaking of which, imagine having to face all of them in the same lineup! You might as well give up right then!)

[@fentonhardy8176]

Orr is the Greatest hockey player ever and don't forget that.

[@daydaviddunn]

1923 Toronto final has completely gotten rid of Livingston

[@Fnargl99]

@22:31 is stamkos a time traveller?

[@BobandRonsRecordClub]

You son of a bitch! I cant stop, end of part2 was so good, I cant stop. I may watch it all. I hope I can stop, I really should try to sleep. Oh, and BTW, Go Blackhawks!

[@cliffordthebigreddog8724]

how the hell do u not talk ab eddie livingstone :0

[@nickolasdeans7880]

20:15 why are they playing violins at a hockey game

[@etnies419]

The music along with tables surrounding the ice shows that European hockey was more of an upper class affair, and much less of the more violent sport that was being played in Canada and the U.S.

[@ibymusic]

That help me no much more about hockey

[@ScottHillsmusclecargarage]

I don't understand why no mention of the Boston Bruins?

[@ungartothemax20166]

Scott Hill because they weren't around yet

[@ScottHillsmusclecargarage]

Okay. That sounds reasonable. LOL

[@punman5392]

UngarToTheMax the bruins were the first American team in the NHL (1924), not the NY Americans

[@adamenglish1154]

No the iceman is gorge Gergen

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

16:15 Sex change operations way back then? SHOCKING!😲

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

08:49 Was this true!?!

[@nickolasdeans7880]

Sorry 21:15

[@GeoffreyChilesTV]

What's "PEI"?

[@pennerchea]

Prince Edward Island

[@MrLucasD123]

"We didn't know if the Americans were gonna play hockey or perform at the circus"... WOW 😱... bring it Canada lol

[@larsorloff3393]

Eric Zweig please stop acting and just read the lines......

[@xPrecisionx]

No mention of the Bruins? What...

[@ericbeaulieu4843]

Because we're talkin' about the history of hockey in Can-ada mate .

[@nickolasdeans7880]

I like womens hockey better than mens

[@fentonhardy8176]

Women's Hockey is boring, It sucks plain and simple.

[@TheTjoconnor]

of course the US gives the Canadians the most competition at the Olympics, as it should be.

[@xPrecisionx]

+TheTjoconnor Not always, the Swedish team is often better.

[@wewantgore666]

+Precision even the Russians

[@nahpoli]

The first team in the U.S. was the Bruins (1924), if youre gonna do a history story, get your history right!!!

[@TheJb1812]

You both need to get your stories correct, in episode 2 of this series they discussed professional hockey in the upper peninsula of Michigan, the first team in the early 1900s was Portage Lake in Houghton Michigan. Pre seattle days. Pre NHL days.

[@ECWnWWF]

no mention of the Seattle Metropolitans? I guess Canada is embarrassed that they won the Cup, just like they are embarrassed that first Hockey was actually played by Africans in Nova Scotia

[@doctorspencer9001]

Canada created the version you see today the other hockey look alikes was simpler but not the same stile of game.

[@DBUP-l8h]

Uh oh, we wuz hockey inventor's n sheeeiiit. Get the fuck out of here you sub-human filth!

[@mooseguides]

Shut up you 4chan parrot. Go lay down with your body pillow and cry yourself to a climax. Stupid child.

[@anonymouse1359]

WE

[@reecesamuel2023]

You humans are hilarious everything is always confrontation with your species

[@Wutzthedeal]

Americans didn't invent hockey. But then again, NASCAR didn't invent the wheel...

[@zacharymines3317]

Essentially no. Canadians definitely invented the actual concept and sport we know today as hockey, however due to Ontario fighting so hard against professionalization of the sport in the 1890s Americans invented Professional Hockey.

[@MaximusWolfe]

Could do without the women's league crap. ya, ya, women play hockey, I get it, now back to the regularly scheduled program already in progress.

[@joeymaterese8095]

Let's get the Americans in on this oh by the way they can't draft any Canadian players we just need them for money purposes Give us a few bad teams and your money America lol

[@kokocaptainqc]

well yeah Canada knew the US would just steal it all at some point...might as well hold on to it while we can

[@ohasia]

Ah, casual sexism. It's so easy.

[@filrut]

Could do without your bargain basement misogyny. I'd bet my mortgage most women's leagues players are much better players than you.
