[edit] NHL Teams (Timeline of the National Hockey League)

The objective of this timeline is to trace the history of the National Hockey League's teams. In the end, each bar will have one of the team colors as its background (typically, the color used on its colored - ie. typically home - jersey). Between the two vertical gray bars is, of course, the Original Six era. Team histories in other leagues (ex. NHA) are also present in the timeline in a dull gray color.

There are a few issues to be resolved:

  • I've yet to find an Arenas or Bulldogs color - the closest one I've found are from when the Blueshirts and the Bulldogs were in the NHA, so I've used those colors.
  • I don't have a good sample color for the old Senators background color - then again, their jerseys were striped.
  • In the hopes of trying to make each color distinct, it is to be noted that, based on the logos I have found and the color samples used:
    • The Kings, Penguins, Lightning, Sabres, and Capitals have identical background colors, so the Kings and Penguins use the purple and yellow (respective) in their logos. I've also used a different color for the Capitals. I can't use the Lighting Blue as it's the same colorby the Leafs...
    • The Oilers, Islanders, Thrashers, Predators, and Blue Jackets all use the same shade of blue in their background colors (the Scouts use the same color due to rounding error). Perhaps I can use the orange in the Islanders logo...
    • So does the Atlanta Flames, Devils, Americans, Red Wings, Panthers, modern-day Senators, and Hurricanes. I'm not sure I can use the blue on the Americans uniform, since it's similar to the one used for the Rangers. Then three other teams in this list have virtually the same team colors.
    • Same here for Stars and Wild.

[edit] WIP Timelines

I was, in fact, inspired by basketball timelines from official NBA sources to compile these hockey timelines. If anyone has anything to comment, please do so in the talk page.

[edit] WHA Teams

The objective of this timeline is to trace the history of the World Hockey Association, in the same fashion as the NHL timeline. Team colors have yet to be added.


[edit] The Invasion

A segue into professional wrestling: this is a timeline of the major championships held during WWF's Invasion era, from the Invasion PPV to Survivor Series. Same-day Hardcore championship changes (of which surprisingly there is only one - Angle over RVD, only to lose it to RVD later) is not recorded here.

I don't make any distinction between WCW and ECW as they collectively referred to themselves as "The Alliance".
