This is the first episode of Counterfactual Puck, a look at hockey and alternate history that I'm adding to the Counterfactual Canuck feed.

This episode looks at the early history of the NHL, the National Hockey League, by examining how it arose out of the NHA, the National Hockey Association, and how much of this was due to one man, Eddie Livingstone - but not in a good way.

And my apologies for the inability to pronounce "Tamiskaming" for the hockey league with that name.
