History of the Bulldogs

The Quebec Bulldogs were one of the original six teams in the National Hockey League (NHL). Founded in 1878, they are one of the oldest hockey franchises still playing today. The team has had a long and storied history, with many successes and setbacks along its journey.

In their early days as part of the NHL's Original Six, the Bulldogs played from 1919 to 1920 before folding due to financial issues. They would then be revived for two more seasons from 1925-1927 before finally disbanding again in 1979 when they joined what was then known as World Hockey Association (WHA). During this time period, they won two Avco Cup championships in 1977 and 1979 respectively which made them hugely popular among fans across Canada.

The Quebec Bulldogs have since become an iconic symbol within Canadian hockey culture due to their longevity throughout both professional leagues that have existed over time. Although much has changed since those early years including new ownerships, relocation and name changes; there is no denying that this franchise will always hold a special place within our hearts here at home!
