In 1917 – The National Hockey league (NHL) plays its first games ever with the Montreal Wanderers defeating the Toronto Arenas 10-9 and the Montreal Canadiens defeating the Ottawa Senators 7-4. The NHL replaced the National Hockey Association (NHA), and was originally scheduled to last for a year or so until the NHA could get back on its feet. Toronto defeated the Canadiens for the first NHL championship in a two-game total goals series 10-7 and would defeat the Vancouver Millionaires of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association for the Stanley Cup.
In 1970 – Smokey Robinson and the Miracles are at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the second an final week with The Tears of a Clown. The song had gone to #1 in Great Britain over the summer and also went to #1 on Billboard’s soul chart. It was the first #1 for the Miracles, who first hit the Hot 100 in 1959. Robinson soon left the group and The Tears of a Clown remains his only #1 appearance on the Hot 100 as a performer, though the Miracles would hit #1 again in 1975 with Love Machine – Part 1.
