High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1942/43 NHL season was the 26th season of the National Hockey League NHL. Six teams played 50 games each. This is the first season of the "Original Six" era of the NHL. The league's long-time president Frank Calder died due to heart disease. The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Boston Bruins to win the Stanley Cup. The Brooklyn Americans franchise was dropped, as Madison Square Garden turned down a lease agreement with team owner Red Dutton. Dutton argued that the other teams would be weakened by the war, but the other owners pointed out the number of Americans players serving in the armed forces was such that the Americans could not operate. A despondent Dutton left the league meeting, but was to return to the NHL sooner than he thought. With the suspension of the Americans, this was the inaugural season of the so-called Original Six era, with the NHL consisting of six teams. This arrangement would last until the 1966/67 season, after which the league doubled in size.
