North American Hockey League (Alternity)

The North American Hockey League (NAHL) was founded in Montreal, Quebec in November 1917. Although before there was the 'Original Six' teams, the league has been through many team changes before the actual beginning of the NAHL. When the Canadian Civil War broke out in 1957, all of the Canadian teams were expelled from the league, and with that, the league had to expand and add more teams in their absence. When the war ended with a truce in 1963, the positions in League vacated by Canadian teams had only been half-replaced. Over the next twenty-five years, the remaining empty slots in the NAHL were filled largely by Cascadian teams and a single team from Quebec.
