The Cobourg and District Historical Society (CDHS) is pleased to present "The NHL: 100 Years of On-Ice Action and Boardroom Battles". The NHL – now in its 107th season – has endured through two world wars, the Great Depression, the failure of numerous franchises and the predations of the short-lived World Hockey Association, among other things, to take its place today as one of North America’s Big Four professional sports leagues. Thousands of players and hundreds of coaches and general managers have come and gone since the league’s initial season in 1917-18, but only four presidents and one commissioner have guided the fortunes of this remarkable enterprise. Author D’Arcy Jenish will explore the history of the NHL through the lens of these five men – Frank Calder, Merv Dutton, Clarence Campbell John Ziegler and Gary Bettman. Free to CDHS members, $5 for guests
