## Resource

August 1st isn’t just any day—it’s a hockey milestone calendar. In 1961, the Rangers signed Rod Gilbert, who’d go on to score over 1,000 points and become their all-time leader. Then in 2020, after a pandemic pause, the NHL returned with historic bubble playoffs in Edmonton and Toronto. Also that year, Ottawa brought in legendary coach Roger Neilson for his 1,000th game—and Calgary hired Don Hay, a junior champ with championship pedigree. And way back in 1946, Frank Selke took the reins of the Canadiens, guiding them to six Stanley Cups. August 1st: where hockey history hits home.
