1933–34 NHL season

The Chicago Black Hawks were the Stanley Cup winners as they beat the Detroit Red Wings three games to one.

The Senators continued to lose, but won a few games when they signed an amateur named Max Kaminsky to centre the Roche brothers Desse and Earl.

Chabot did not do badly either, leading the Canadian Division in goaltending, helping the goal-strapped Canadiens to second place.

On February 14, 1934, the first NHL All-Star Game, albeit an unofficial one, was held to benefit Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ace Bailey, who suffered a career-ending injury.

On December 12, 1933, near the end of the second period of a game between the Leafs and the Boston Bruins in the Boston Garden, Bailey was hit from behind by Bruins defenceman Eddie Shore, in retaliation for a check that Toronto defenceman King Clancy had delivered to Shore.

The Leafs' Red Horner took offence to the hit, and subsequently knocked out Shore with a punch.

For his actions, Shore received a 16-game suspension, a third of the 48-game schedule of the time, while Horner was suspended for the remainder of the 1932–33 season.
