Facts

The NHL is the only sports league in the United States that allows players to fight during the game. There has always been a myth that the only reason people go to watch hockey is to watch the fights during the game. Hockey is also one of the fastest sports in the world, and that is because of the development of the hockey skate, and the fact that you skate on ice, which allows you to propell yourself at a high rate of speed. Since it is a really fast sport, there is a lot of injuries caused from players hitting each other while going really fast.

Bruins

The Boston Bruins are an original six team, that is around my home town, so I have always been supporting them in their season. They were the Stanly Cup champions last year, which means they were the best team in the league, and they were the champions of the entire league.

In the original NHL, There were only 6 teams, the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blsckhawks, New York Rangers, Montreal Canadians, and the Detroit Red Wings. In the current NHL there is the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. There are 15 teams in each of the Conferences.

Things about me

My name is Brian, and I am a sophomore at Dover Sherborn highschool. I am making this blog for my web design class. Creating this blog will be tough, but it is a good skill to have, because many people in the world today have blogs, and you can learn a lot from other blogs. I am doing a blog about the NHL so other people who don't know about hockey, can look at my blog and learn how great of a sport hockey is.

Basics

I chose the history of the NHL because hockey is my favorite sport. I hope to teach everyone a litlle bit about the sport of hockey, like what year it was made, and how many teams there are.
The NHL was originally founded in 1917, after the AHL league was terminated, and by 1926 there were only ten teams, including the Boston Bruins. As World War II came around, the league was downsized to only six teams, otherwise known as the original six.
The point if this blog is to show you teams in the NHL that have been created, lost and the ultimate hockey stars.
