1920-21 Nhl Season




Eddie Livingstone was again talking of creating a rival league and mentioned Hamilton
as a city in his league. Frank Calder got the owners of the league to admit a Hamilton
franchise. As Abso-Pure had built an arena, all owners agreed that it would be wise to
have a franchise in Hamilton. Because Quebec had done so badly the previous season, Calder
said that Quebec's players would be given to Hamilton. Although Mike Quinn was non-commital
at first, he finally sold the team to Hamilton and it became the Hamilton Tigers.


REGULAR SEASON

After just one season, the Quebec Bulldogs moved to Hamilton , Ontario to become the Hamilton Tigers . The Tigers had some trouble signing
Joe Malone , but he finally did sign. The team stung the Canadiens 5-0 in its first game
with Babe Dye starring. The Toronto St. Patricks lost Corbett Denneny
to injuries and recalled Dye from Hamilton, giving them Mickey Roach in his place.

Corbett Denneny scored six goals in a game January 26th as the Toronto St. Patricks
walloped the Hamilton Tigers 10-3.

Cy Denneny wasn't about to let his brother steal the thunder and he scored six goals
himself in a March 7th game as the Ottawa Senators hammered the Hamilton Tigers 12-5.
For the first time, a brother combination had scored six goals in a game the same season.

The Ottawa Senators won the first half of the split season while the Toronto St. Patricks won the second half.
