1923-24 NHL season
Encyclopedia
The 1923–24 NHL season was the seventh season
of the National Hockey League
. Four teams each played 24 games. The league champions were the Montreal Canadiens
, who defeated the first-place Ottawa Senators
in the league playoff. The Canadiens then defeated the Calgary Tigers
of the Western Canada Hockey League
(WCHL) and Vancouver Maroons of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association
(PCHA) to win their second Stanley Cup
championship.
This was the last season that three leagues competed for the Stanley Cup as, after the season, the PCHA folded. Two of its teams, the Vancouver Maroons and Victoria Cougars
, joined the WCHL for the 1924–25 WCHL season.
, started his career with the Montreal Canadiens this year. Morenz scored the first goal of his career on December 27, 1923 in the inaugural NHL game at the new Ottawa Auditorium. It was the first of a career 270 goals.
The Hamilton Tigers added Billy Burch
and the Green brothers, Shorty and Redvers (nicknamed Red) and now they had a team that could compete nicely with the rest of the league. On December 28, Shorty Green
scored at 12:22 of overtime to give Hamilton its first ever road victory over the Ottawa Senators in Ottawa. The Hamilton Tigers finished last for the fifth season in a row (counting one season as the Quebec Bulldogs
), but underwent some serious rebuilding efforts during the season and their efforts would pay off for the next season, 1924–25, when they would go from worst to first.
The NHL held a mid-season meeting to consider Sprague Cleghorn
's suspension. Ottawa claimed he was deliberately injuring opponents, citing a spearing incident against Cy Denneny
. The league rejected the charges, and in a game against Ottawa shortly thereafter, Cleghorn charged Lionel Hitchman
into the boards and earned a one game suspension.
A game between Ottawa and the Canadiens was postponed due to a bizarre incident near the end of the season. On their way to Montreal, the Ottawa's train got snowbound near Hawkesbury, Ontario
. The team was stuck all night and so Cy Denneny
decided to scrounge around for some food, and somehow fell down a well. Fortunately, he escaped injury. The game was postponed until the next night and Georges Vezina
shut out the Senators 3–0.
The Montreal Canadiens had finished second overall in the NHL regular season standings but in the playoffs, they would upset the first-place Ottawa Senators
.

and once again, Vancouver would come out on top winning the PCHA league championship. Meanwhile, in the Western Canada Hockey League

was the star, scoring a hat trick in the first game, then another goal in the next game, which was transferred to Ottawa because of the slushy ice at Mount Royal Arena. Morenz was levelled by Cully Wilson of Calgary and suffered a chipped collarbone, but it was all in vain as Montreal won. The Canadiens swept all three teams they faced during the playoffs en route to their first Stanley Cup since their 1916 Cup win as a member of the NHA
