Early History
Games between Ottawa and Toronto ice hockey teams date back before the founding of the NHL, and both the Leafs and original Senators were founding teams of the NHL. Both cities also have histories of Stanley Cup winners, meeting once in February, 1904, with the original Ottawa Senators defeating the Toronto Marlboros. After the original Ottawa NHL franchise folded during the Great Depression, Ottawa-area hockey fans became fans of other NHL teams. However, during this time, a Ottawa-Toronto sports rivalry continued between the Argonauts and Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or history:
“A two-year-old can be taught to curb his aggressions completely if the parents employ strong enough methods, but the achievement of such control at an early age may be bought at a price which few parents today would be willing to pay. The slow education for control demands much more parental time and patience at the beginning, but the child who learns control in this way will be the child who acquires healthy self-discipline later.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
