A sports article yesterday about the United States Hockey Hall of Fame referred imprecisely to the number of teams in the National Hockey League in the 1930s and ’40s. The league ranged from 7 to 10 teams in the 1930s; there were not just six. The 1942-3 season did have six teams. Also, a report in the Sunday Shootout column on Dec. 17 misstated the year the so-called Original Six era of hockey began and the number of seasons that it lasted. It began in 1942, not 1945, and it ended in 1967 after 25 seasons, not 22. (The errors in the Dec. 17 article were discovered during research on the number of teams.).
