The National Hockey League (NHL) was organized on November 26, 1917 in Montreal and consisted of 4 Canadian teams from the former National Hockey Association (NHA) including the Montreal Candiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators and Quebec Bulldogs.  The Bulldogs were not able to play in the league which led some of their owners to create a new team in Toronto who went on to become the Maple Leafs.

Today, there are 7 professional franchises based in Canada playing in the NHL.  The Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs are two of the original 6 teams of the NHL who still play in the league.  The remaining teams, although some have come and gone and come back again, are the Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames.  The Quebec Nordiques left the league in the 90s but may be back again.
