The National Hockey League was established in 1917 as a successor to the National Hockey Association (NHA). After a dispute between Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts franchise in the NHA, and Conn Smythe, owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs franchise in the Canadian Arena Company (which operated leagues parallel to the NHA), Livingstone was suspended from the NHA and formed his own league, the International Professional Hockey League (IPHL). However, by 1923, all of Livingstone’s teams had either folded or joined other professional leagues.
In 1926, at a meeting held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, representatives of existing professional hockey leagues—the Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL), International Hockey League (IHL), Central Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA), and amateur Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA)—met to discuss how best to organize hockey’s major professional leagues. At this meeting, it was decided that a new league would be formed that would be made up of both Canadian and American teams. The NHL’s first president was Frank Calder, who served from its inception until his death in 1943.
