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:
“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
