To keep in line with the 25 year period cadence of this series of articles, and to coincide with the 100th year, this article should be capped at 2017 and a new article started next season, I imagine, at History of the National Hockey League (2017–present). Just a little heads up. Jmj713 ( talk) 17:49, 22 April 2017 (UTC) reply

A little late I realise, but I was thinking it almost makes more sense to make the cutoff 2004 or 2005. Granted it doesn't fit with the 25 year increment the previous articles have, but it does make sense to make the break at the 2004–05 lockout. The league is arguably in a different era since 2005, and it is a lot more natural than arbitrarily going to 2017; even the other articles, while they conform to 25 year breaks, do so at natural times (1942 is start of Original Six, 1967 expansion; 1992 is the only one that is questionable, but even then it saw the second big expansion era start). I'll also bring this up to the project talk page, as I don't think many will see this, but that's my views on it. Kaiser matias ( talk) 04:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC) reply

I think I like the 25-year breaks, best. If we shift this article to cut off at 2004 or 2005, then we might get the next cutoff in like 2030? But we don't know what's gonna happen then, either. No matter what system you choose to break up these history articles, it's all arbitrary, anyway. Canuck^{89 (talk to me)} 05:03, June 27, 2017 (UTC)

I just made a comment to this effect at Talk:List of NHL seasons and then realized I already brought this up here, so I'm raising this question again. I think it makes sense, and it's not that arbitrary. After a long period of stability, the league started to expand again in 2017, first with Vegas and then Seattle. It might not be much and that number of teams might last for several decades, who knows, but the 25-year divisions do make sense and do work out, actually. And the early 1990s is no longer the "current era" at all. Jmj713 ( talk) 21:53, 5 January 2023 (UTC) reply

If the split succeeds. I'm guessing this page will likely be re-named "History of the National Hockey League (1992–2017)". -- GoodDay ( talk) 02:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Split

I have added the template Split on this article and suggest starting History of the National Hockey League (since 2017). I think it makes sense to split at 25-year intervals, considering the centennial at 2017. The new article can start with the centennial activities.

Thanks! Jmj713 ( talk) 21:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Personally I'd support it, 25-year intervals is fair and 2017 neatly coincides with when the Vegas/Seattle expansion round began. The Kip 09:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I have started Draft:History of the National Hockey League (since 2017). Please contribute if you have the time. Alaney2k ( talk) 15:29, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

New page title should follow naming convention so the title of it should be History of the National Hockey League (2017–present) – sbaio 13:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

No. I do not want to split the page. This covers all the Stanley Cup championships since 1993. 2601:40A:8400:2250:A518:D00A:C634:A15D ( talk) 22:13, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Why would that be a reason not to split? The Kip 03:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Another reason why this history should not split is because it covers all the expansion franchises since the San Jose Sharks in 1992. 2601:40A:8400:2250:A518:D00A:C634:A15D ( talk) 17:43, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Yeah but that was a lifetime ago, you realize that? Jmj713 ( talk) 23:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The split is a good idea, considering that the NHL was at 30 teams for nearly two decades. GoodDay ( talk) 02:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC) reply

This era should end in 2017, because the Pittsburgh Penguins repeated before the Vegas Golden Knights joined. 2601:40A:8400:2250:A518:D00A:C634:A15D ( talk) 02:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I believe most here are in agreement with this. GoodDay ( talk) 02:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC) reply

When should the split happen? Do you like 1992–present or two pages discussing 1992–2017 and 2017–present? I want to know. Please. 2601:40A:8400:2250:D5B:FDBB:169C:4AFF ( talk) 03:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Have two pages. One called "History of the National Hockey League (1992–2017)" & the other called "History of the National Hockey League (2017–present)". GoodDay ( talk) 21:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Can someone split the pages now? It is because the Arizona Coyotes are going away to Utah. Can anyone split the pages now because of recent news? Please. 2601:40A:8400:1820:6D78:FB3D:DE0E:F0DD ( talk) 00:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The split should definitely be made at 25 years, it's now even more clear that a new era started in 2017 and Vegas. Jmj713 ( talk) 14:39, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

One main reason for splitting is the recent news that the Coyotes are no more, and a team will begin play in Utah next season. 2601:40A:8400:1820:45AC:917C:CA2F:5BD6 ( talk) 20:15, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
