The NHL was founded in 1917. The Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs (then called the Arenas) are the two charter members of the NHL still in existence. The Ottawa Senators were also a charter member but they moved to St. Louis in 1934 and the following year were bought out by the League.
