Hey, sports fans - here’s some truly random hockey trivia for you. Did you know that today in 1894, the first Stanley Cup championship game was played? That’s right. Montreal beat Ottawa, 3-1. So in honor of that historic game, here is a piece of hockey history from ur collection (in the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Division of Art, Prints and Photographs) - a photo by Underwood & Underwood from 1928 of NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker welcoming the Stanley Cup champion New York Rangers (they beat the Montreal Maroons). See, you just never know what you’ll get here at NYPL Wire.
