This Day In Hockey History (9/26)

Posted by on Sep 26, 2011 14:15

In the early days of the NHL, there were a variety of rule changes in the game that brought about much good.  This is unlike today at times where fans get frustrated over the constant tinkering of their sport.  There may have been better moments than the one today but we pay an homage to the history of the game with this rule change that occurred 85 years ago today.  First, we found a old time video and then the actual moment.  Also, there will be more to come this evening.
