Early hockey games allowed up to 30 players a side on the ice at any one time, and the goals were two stones, each frozen into one end of the ice. 4. 1860: The first use of a “puck” instead of a ball was recorded at Kingston Harbour, Ont. 5. 1875: Montreal Stages First Indoor Public Performance Game - James George Aylwin Creighton was born (1850) in Halifax.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips October 24, 2019 New York plays Buffalo, looks to stop home slide Associated Press October 24, 2019 Buffalo Sabres (8-1-1, first in the Atlantic Division) vs. New York Rangers (2-4-1, eighth in the Metropolitan Division) New York; Thursday, 7 p.m. EDT BOTTOM LINE: New York plays Buffalo looking to end its three-game home skid. New York finished 21-22-9 in Eastern Conference games and 18-14-9 at home during the 2018-19 season. The Rangers scored 221 total goals last season while collecting 372 assists. Buffalo went 33-39-10 overall and 19-25-8 in Eastern Conference action in the 2018-19 season. The Sabres averaged 2.7 goals and 4.6 assists per game last season. The matchup Thursday is the first meeting of the season for the two teams. Rangers Injuries: None listed. Sabres Injuries: None listed. Bills CB Tre’Davious White keeps coming up with big saves By John Wawrow Associated Press October 23, 2019 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Cornerback Tre’Davious White occasionally enjoys parading around the Buffalo Bills facility in goaltending gear while claiming to have been the best hockey player in his native Louisiana history. It’s all fiction, including The Tre’Davious White Goalie Academy, where he supposedly taught Buffalo Sabres starter Carter Hutton all he knows. White, in fact, was unfamiliar with hockey until last year, when he became a big fan of Hutton while attending his first NHL game. The outing was filmed by the team’s promotional department, and prompted the Pegula-owned Bills and Sabres to produce a “mock-umentary” in which White proudly says: “I’ve never allowed a goal.” All joking aside, White was immediately captivated by Hutton because he can appreciate how a goalie’s role is no different than his.
