@koopa08, great hockey IQ, the reason the silver seven are absent, is because they were primarily known as the silver seven from 1903 to 1906, but after that (i.e. the whole time in the NHL) they were the Senators @ascottharv, good catch, I must've forgotten to put it, I'll go back and fix it right now

Actually in regards to the Blueshirts, that was the name of the NHA Toronto team, the formal name for the Toronto teams was never finalized, but was registered as the Arenas later on. @koopa08 The Silver Seven were pre-NHL.

@Linden16, thank you first of all, secondly you are 100% correct, I include the Blueshirts since the Arenas used their players that season, but had no name. I thought that this was the commonly accepted way to talk about that team

Just a nitpick here, but "Golden" does not describe the color of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge is actually a kind of vermilion color. The strait it crosses was known as the "Golden Gate" long before the bridge was built, named after the "Golden Horn" of Byzantium (before the discovery of gold in California). But most likely the Golden Seals were so named because of the many golden things in the Golden State, including the gold color of Golden Seals owner Charlie Finley's other team, the Oakland A's, the local college team the Golden Bears, etc.

@adamnvillani, you're completely right, I was using it as a play on words more than actual color, but the rest of your comment is an interesting history lesson, so thanks!

@jhlzq3, 5 star quiz and I also have to apologize to you. I recently created a quiz that is very similar to this one. This quiz didn't come up when I did a search so I never realized it. If it had I never would have created the one I did. Mine is a bit different so maybe there's room for both but again, I'm sorry for the similarity and I just wanted you to know it wasn't intentional.

Is it just me, or is there way too much time on this quiz? I got all but a few of the older ones with about 8 minutes left. Otherwise, fun quiz.

Blueshirts was not an NHL team name. that was the name of the team that played in the NHA. The NHL was formed to get rid of the owner of the Blueshirts Ernie Livingstone. The owners of the arena formed a new franchise called the Arenas. The media continued to call the team the Blueshirts. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Arenas

@davidt0827, This quiz starts in 1917, and at the time, for the first season of the NHL they did not have an actual nickname, so I put in Blueshirts, because that was what they were known as, then the nickname Arenas was given in 1918. You should look back over your suggested source as that is what it says about the evolution of the maple leafs franchise

got 57 of them in the first 4 or 5 minutes. Spent another 5 minutes trying to think of the 2 non-Red Wings Detroit teams... then thought of both of them in about a 10 second span. Weird how that happens sometimes. Good quiz.

Great quiz! The little hints made it very guessable once I had gotten through all I knew. It also helped that I struck by the vivid memory of the 1974-era NHL curtains I had on my childhood bedroom window. Managed to remember 3 more from that alone. Thanks!

The BlueShirts were never members of the NHL. The NHL was formed by the other owners in the NHA to get away from the BlueShirts owner and a new team was placed in Toronto, the Arenas.

The Toronto Arenas played in that first season 1917-18, because they won the Stanley Cup that season! kfs summed it up.

the Blueshirts were not part of the NHL. They were replaced by the Arenas which were owned by the Toronto Arena Corporation. The NHA wanted to get rid of the owner of the Blueshirts Ernie Livingstone and they voted to disband the NHA and then formed the NHL without Livingstone and formed the Arenas to fill a void in the city of Toronto.

The Toronto Blueshirts were an NHA franchise owned by controversial owner, Eddie Livingston. When the other NHA owners created the NHL to effectively disband the NHA, a temporary Toronto franchise was created and subsequently leased the Blueshirts' players. They were known simply as Toronto Hockey Club and won the 1st Stanley Cup for the NHL against the Vancouver Millionaires of the PCHA. The following season, the club was made permanent and were known as the: Toronto Arenas 1918-1919 Toronto St. Patricks 1919-1927 Toronto Maple Leafs 1927-Present
