The Boston Bruins were the first NHL team based in the United States, beginning play in the 1924-25 season. The following season, two more U.S.-based teams were added, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Americans, both now defunct. The last three American "Original Six" teams were founded for the 1926-27 season, the New York Rangers, the Chicago Black Hawks (now Blackhawks), and the Detroit Cougars, who changed their name to the Detroit Falcons in 1930, before finally becoming the now recognized Detroit Red Wings in 1932.
