from Joe Pelletier of Greatest Hockey Legends,
In 1947-48 the NHL, at the advice of Frank Patrick, legislated a policy that players were to raise their sticks when they scored. This allowed fans in the audience to realize a goal had been scored. After all there was no such thing as jumbotrons and light shows back then.
Paul Kukla founded Kukla’s Korner in 2005 and the site has since become the must-read site on the ‘net for all the latest happenings around the NHL.
From breaking news to in-depth stories around the league, KK Hockey is updated with fresh stories all day long and will bring you the latest news as quickly as possible.
