Here is some information,though there is not too much out there.The original name for hockey is French Canadian called "hoquet" which means shepherd's crook,depicting the shape of the stick.
Hockey prospered in the 1920s as the post World War I boom engulfed North America. In 1924 the NHL expanded to six teams by adding its first American franchise, the Boston Bruins. Montreal got its second team in the Maroons. Not too long after, more American teams were added as the NHL grew its presence into Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburg, and New York. The 1920s saw the NHL firmly establish itself as the premier professional hockey league. The Stanley Cup was now the exclusive property of the league, awarded to the overall champions. The "Roaring Twenties" were followed by the tough years of the "Great Depression", and like everything else in that time the National Hockey League took its lumps as the economic situation in North America plunged. World War II was another watershed moment in the history of the game, an event that the NHL survived and built its foundation upon.
