The Quebec Bulldogs were also considered charter members of the NHL, although they were not able to begin playing until the 1918-1919 season. The opening game, on December 19, 1917 was a 7-4 victory for the Montreal Canadiens over the Ottawa Senators.

Since 2011, the minimum seating capacity required for an NHL team has been 15,000. This was due to the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg (15,004 for hocky) and the Islanders eventual move to Brooklyn (15,813 for hockey).
The 1917 NHL championship was won by the Toronto Arenas.
