The NHL was formed in the fall of 1917 and started play on December 19, 1917 with five teams, the Montreal Canadiens, the Montreal Wanderers, the Quebec Bulldogs, the Ottawa Senators and a team in Toronto under the control of the Toronto Arena. This Toronto team had no name and was simply referred to as the Arenas. The Toronto team did win the Stanley Cup but they were not named the Maple Leafs!!
