Episode Details

August 25th in NHL history is a day of seismic shifts and legendary milestones—franchises vanished and reappeared, Hall of Famers were honored together, and iconic careers quietly closed their chapters. In 1938, the Montreal Maroons vanished forever; in 1976, the Kansas City Scouts relocated to Denver, becoming the New Jersey Devils. That same year, Alex Delvecchio and Tim Horton, rivals turned legends, entered the Hall of Fame side by side. Then in 1997, Dale Hawerchuk and Neal Broten retired after stellar careers—one a future Hall of Famer, the other the last living member of the ’80 Miracle on Ice squad. And amid all that, trades shook up rosters: Calgary sent Gary Roberts and Trevor Kidd to Carolina for Cassels and Giguere, while St. Louis brought back Steve Duchesne from Ottawa. August 25th? Not just another date—it’s etched in NHL lore.
