Montreal Wanderers
From Freepedia
The Montreal Wanderers were a professional hockey team that played in Montreal, Quebec and one of the founding franchises of the National Hockey League in the 1917-18 NHL season. They had played only six games in the NHL, losing all but one, when the Montreal Arena burned down on January 2, 1918, and the team was disbanded.
Prior to the formation of the NHL, they played in the Federal Amateur Hockey League from 1903-05, the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association from 1906-09, and the National Hockey Association from 1909-17. They won the Stanley Cup seven times. The 1908 team scratched their names inside the bowl, which was just prior to the second band being added to the Cup.
The team included five future Hockey Hall of Fame members: Moose Johnson, Hod Stuart, Riley Hern, Lester Patrick, and Ernie Russell.
