Who was the first NHL player to raise his stick in celebration of a goal?
When did the NHL first appear on a U.S. television network?
Which player from the Soviet Union was the first to receive permission to join an NHL club?
You'll find the answers and much more in our Hockey Time Line, a look at highlights and turning points in the history of the game.
Of course, there's much more to hockey history than glorious memories of guys like Jean Beliveau and Bobby Hull (pictured).
The Time Line also tracks lowlights like the first NHL players' strike, the Richard Riot, and the brief tenure of dud franchises like the Colorado Rockies and Kansas City Scouts.
