National Hockey League (NHL) Season Review 1931-1932
For the 1931-32 season the league schedule was expanded to 48 games. The Great Depression effects were seen in the 1931-32 season within the National Hockey League. The Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Quakers both dropped out, leaving just eight teams. The Senators who withdrew from play for the season, were one of the founding teams of the NHL.
In Toronto Conn Smythe opened Maple Leaf Gardens as a home for the Stanley Cup they would win this season. The Montreal Canadiens again won the Canadian Division while the New York Rangers were tops in the American Division. The Rangers eliminated the Canadiens in their series, while the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Chicago Black Hawks and Montreal Maroons to get into the final series.
Led by their "Kid Line" of Charlie Conacher, Bo Jackson, and Joe Primeau, Toronto swept to the Stanley Cup in a series that was played in three different cities. The first game was in New York and the second was in Boston because a circus was booked into Madison Square Garden. The Maple Leafs then closed the series out at home.
