No Original Six: The Original Two



Educational American video on National Hockey League history:

In reality there is the original two from 1917-1918:

Montreal Canadiens
Toronto Hockey Club (Now Maple Leafs)

Toronto

I think the video is too indecisive in regard to Toronto. According to the National Hockey and almost all documentation, the Toronto club changed name, but it is traced back to season one. Example: All 13 Toronto, Stanley Cups are documented to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Years ago I occasionally saw them credited with 11, but now it is universally 13. The League has the right to make this decision as the awarding entity.
From 2014: The Globe and Mail: Los Angeles now has 2, Chicago 6, Pittsburgh 4


Notice, no Vancouver, Ottawa and Winnipeg...
