The Montreal Canadiens joined the NHL in 1917 and were founded in 1909. The Canadiens are the oldest hockey team in the NHL, one of the oldest continuously existing sports franchises in the world, and also one of the most successful in all of sports. The oldest hockey teams in what we now call the Original Six are the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Arenas, who became the Maple Leafs in 1927.

Blackheath has ‘officially the oldest hockey club in the world’, while Teddington states ‘oldest club in the world’ proudly labelled on their club social media handles. According to the book “Hockey” written in 1899 by P.A. Robson and J. Nicholson-Smith, this club was formed not later than the year 1840. But the debate over who can lay claim to this historic mantle can now be put to bed. According to Marcus Wardle, archivist at the Hockey Museum, Teddington are the founders of modern hockey since they formalised the rules and the way the game is played back in 1871. The first Hockey Club was undoubtedly Blackheath. Teddington HC, who mark 150 years this season but have put celebrations on hold, have the rightful claim to the accolade over Blackheath, according to research by The Hockey Paper.

The Stanley Cup is the oldest and most coveted trophy in the world of professional ice hockey, with a rich and storied history that has made it an icon of the sport. From its humble beginnings in 1893 as a simple silver bowl to its current form as a 35-pound, silver and nickel alloy cup standing 89.5cm tall, the Stanley Cup has undergone numerous changes over the years, but its unique design and the traditions surrounding it have remained the same. The Stanley Cup trophy is named after Lord Stanley of Preston, a Canadian Governor-General who was an avid fan of ice hockey and wanted to create a championship trophy for the best amateur ice hockey team in Canada. The original trophy, which was known as the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, was a simple silver bowl that stood just 7 inches tall and cost $48.67 to make.
