The history of the National Hockey League begins with the demise of its predecessor league, the National Hockey Association (NHA), in 1917. After unsuccessfully resolving disputes with Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts, executives of the three other NHA franchises suspended the NHA, and formed the National Hockey League (NHL), replacing the Livingstone team with a temporary team in Toronto, the Arenas.
The Stanley Cup is named for Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, 1st Baron Stanley of Preston, 16th Earl of Derby. He was the Governor General of Canada (1888 - 1893), who bought the original bowl used as a trophy.
