RafaThe National Hockey League originated in 1917 with 4 teams, and through a sequence of team expansions, reductions and relocations currently consists of 30 teams, 23 of which are based in the United States and 7 in Canada. The founding members were the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanders, Ottawa Senators and Quebec Bulldogs. Since the Bulldogs were unable to compete during the inaugural season, the remaining owners granted a temporary franchise to the Toronto Arena Company. This franchise is now known as the Toronto Maple Leafs. The "Original Six" are not original members of the league. The term refers to the Six franchises in operation between 1942 - 1967, when the NHL expanded to 12 teams. The "Original Six are Montreal Canadiens (1917, charter member), Toronto Maple Leafs, (1917, Toronto Arenas), Boston Bruins (1924), Detroit Red Wings (1926), Chicago Blackhawks (1926, Black Hawks) and New York Rangers (1926).
