Montreal Maroons

Montreal's second NHL team, twice Stanley Cup champions.

Last updated

They joined the NHL in 1924 alongside the Boston Bruins, the league's first United States-based team.[1]

Life and work

The club was officially named the Montreal Professional Hockey Club, but the media adopted the nickname "Maroons" from their maroon sweaters.[2] The Maroons reached the Stanley Cup Final again in 1928, losing to the New York Rangers in a series played entirely at the Forum.[3] By 1935, both the Maroons and the Canadiens were owned by the Canadian Arena Company.[4] The Montreal Arena burned down in 1918, causing the Montreal Wanderers, an anglophone team, to disband; a new team for anglophones was not begun until 1922.[5][1]

James Strachan, who had owned the Wanderers in the 1900s, became the Maroons' president.[2] In that championship series, first-year player Nels Stewart tallied six of the Maroons' ten goals and received the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player.[6][7] Under coach Tommy Gorman, who had guided the Chicago Black Hawks to the Stanley Cup the prior year, the Maroons captured their second Stanley Cup in 1935.[8]

That same source states the Maroons lost 1–0 to Detroit in 176 minutes and 30 seconds of play.[9][10]
