NHL History
With the PCHA in full swing a player, shuffle began in 1919/20 between the NHL and the PCHA. The season also had a record breaking crowd of 8,500 to watch a Toronto game verses Ottawa. Ottawa managed to win both halves of the season Ottawa took the Cup in five games with the last two games played on artificial ice because of the hot weather.
On the opening night for the Stanley Cup finals in 1920/21 season a record 11,000 people attended. Vancouver and Ottawa split the first four games and then Ottawa won the fifth by a score of 2-1 capturing their second cup in a row. This marked the first ever back-to-back Stanley Cup championship.
In 1921/22, there were a lot of changes in both the NHL and the PCHA. The NHL started off by dropping the split schedule. Instead, a single schedule would be played out with a playoff between the first and second place team. This eliminated the idea that if you won the first half of the schedule you could slack off during the second half. In the PCHA the penalty shot was introduced which was awarded to a player who was interfered with after breaking in all alone on the goalie. In the west a new league was formed called the Western Canada Hockey League. The winner of the new league would challenge the champion of the PCHA to represent the west for the Stanley Cup. In the Stanley Cup finals Vancouver and Toronto split the first four games and then Babe Dye buried four goals to give Toronto the 5-1 win and the Stanley Cup.
In 1922/23, although Ottawa had been plagued with injuries that drastically reduced their lineup during the series against Montreal, they eliminated Vancouver in four games and then took Edmonton in two straight to capture the the Stanley Cup.
