The New York Americans , colloquially known as the Amerks , were a professional ice hockey team based in New York City from 1925 to 1942. They were the third expansion team in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the second to play in the United States . The team never won the Stanley Cup , but reached the semifinals twice. While it was the first team in New York City, it was eclipsed by the second, the New York Rangers , which arrived in 1926 under the ownership of the Amerks' landlord, Madison Square Garden . The team operated as the Brooklyn Americans during the 1941–42 season before suspending operations in 1942 due to World War II and long-standing financial difficulties. The demise of the club marked the beginning of the NHL's Original Six era from 1942 to 1967, though the Amerks' franchise was not formally canceled until 1946.
71-595: The team's overall regular season record was 255–402–127. In 1923, Canadian sports promoter Thomas Duggan received options on three NHL franchises for the United States. He sold one to Boston grocery magnate Charles Adams , which became the Boston Bruins in 1924. Duggan then arranged with Tex Rickard to have a team in Madison Square Garden . Rickard agreed, but play was delayed until
142-644: A 1.68 goals against average. That was good enough to give the Americans a winning record. However, they missed out on a playoff berth since the Montreal Maroons had two more wins, which was the NHL's first tiebreaker for playoff seeding. The 1931–32 season saw some developments that changed the way the hockey was played. In a game against the Bruins, the Americans iced the puck 61 times. At that time, there
213-640: A 19–13–12 record in that season, good enough for second in the Canadian Division (fourth overall). Worters had a 1.21 goals against average (GAA), becoming the first goaltender to win the Hart Trophy as the most valuable player in the league. Standing on Worters' shoulders, the Americans made the playoffs for the first time, but were unable to beat the Rangers in a total goals series . The Rangers had extreme difficulty scoring against Worters, but
284-466: A better scoring chance. Former Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk and New York Rangers forward Martin St. Louis are examples of players who commonly use this tactic. However, it is not uncommon for a shooter to simply shoot for an opening without deking. This is commonly referred to as sniping . This is most commonly performed when a goalie challenges a shooter by giving them an open hole (by keeping
355-616: A game that needed 103:36 of overtime to be settled. Svyatoslav Grebinshchikov scored the game-winning goal 3:36 of sextuple overtime. The longest game in NCAA hockey history was played at Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana , on March 6, 2015. UMass beat Notre Dame , 4–3, in the Hockey East first round with 8:18 left in quintuple overtime. Shane Walsh scored the winning goal just after 1:00 am local time. The previous longest

Former NHL forwards Markus Näslund and Brett Hull are two players commonly referred to as snipers . Very rarely a shooter may take a slapshot or wrist shot from the point or top of the slot . This is almost exclusively performed when a shooter either has
497-570: A goal . In the National Hockey League and American Hockey League All-Star Skills Competitions, the competition ends in a penalty shootout known as the Breakaway Relay . Tactics are very important during penalty shots and overtime shootouts for both the shooter and the goalie. Both shooters and goalies commonly consult their teammates and coaches for advice on the opposing player's style of play. Shooters often consider
568-708: A goal. In many leagues (including the NHL for regular-season games since the 2005–06 season ) and in international competitions, a failure to reach a decision in a single overtime may lead to a shootout. Some leagues may eschew overtime periods altogether and end games in shootout should teams be tied at the end of regulation. In the ECHL , the AHL , and the Southern Professional Hockey League , regular season overtime periods are played three on three for one five-minute period, with penalties resulting in
639-492: A high level of confidence in their shot or they attempt to catch the goalie by surprise. Retired player Brian Rolston , Detroit Red Wings winger Todd Bertuzzi , Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger , and Vancouver Canucks winger Daniel Sedin have all used this tactic with success. The longest overtime game in history was in the Norwegian GET-ligaen . The game ended after 157:14 of overtime in
710-556: A new arena in Brooklyn. However, in 1946, the NHL reneged on previous promises to reinstate the Amerks and canceled the franchise. Although Dutton had every intention of returning the Amerks to the ice after World War II, NHL records list the Amerks as having "retired" from the league in 1942. The NHL did not expand beyond its remaining six teams until the 1967–68 season . Dutton blamed the owners of Madison Square Garden (who also owned
781-518: A success at the box office; so much so that the following season Garden management landed a team of its own, the New York Rangers . A clause in the Amerks' lease with the Garden required them to support any bid for the Garden to acquire an NHL franchise. The Garden had promised Dwyer that it would never exercise that option, and that the Amerks would be the only team in the arena. However, when

Since 2019, the gold-medal game uses multiple 20-minute overtime periods of 3-on-3, and applies to both genders. Most lower minor leagues (ECHL, Central, UHL ) have featured a shootout where, at the end of regulation, a shootout similar to

The main methods of determining a winner in a tied game are the overtime period (commonly referred to as overtime ), the shootout , or a combination of both. If league rules dictate a finite time in which overtime may be played, with no penalty shoot-out to follow, the game's winning team may or may not be necessarily determined. Overtime periods are extra periods beyond

On December 16, 2014, the longest shootout in NHL history went to 20 rounds before Nick Bjugstad of the Florida Panthers scored to defeat the Washington Capitals ; the previous record was 15 rounds. The shootout is not used in the playoffs for any major North American league. Instead, full 20-minute overtime periods are played until one team scores

The IIHF first adopted the game-winning-shot procedure in 1992 when a new playoff procedure in
1278-651: The Montreal Daily Star : "Essentially a pioneer and trustful to an unusual degree, he lost a considerable portion of the fruits of his vision."

Part of the problem was that they were placed in the Canadian Division in defiance of all geographic reality, resulting in a larger number of train trips to Montreal , Toronto and Ottawa . Meanwhile, the Rangers won the American Division title. The next season saw

Despite the presence of Dutton, who had retired as a player to become coach and general manager, the team fared no better under the league's operation than before, finishing last with a record of 15–29–4. The only bright spot was Sweeney Schriner , who led the league in scoring that year. The league asked Dutton to become operating head of

These new acquisitions greatly helped the team as they finished the season with a 19–18–11 record and made the playoffs. In the playoffs, they beat the Rangers in three games, but lost to the Chicago Black Hawks in three. The Americans made the playoffs again in 1938–39 and 1939–40 seasons, but were bounced in

During the 1935–36 season , Dwyer decided to sell the team. As fortunes had it, the Americans made

The following season saw the Americans plunge to fifth place in the division (ninth overall) with a 14–25–5 record. Worters followed up his stellar 1928–29 season with an atrocious 3.75 goals against average. Worters rebounded the next season, with

He gave the players healthy raises—in some cases, double their 1924–25 season's salaries. Just before the season, Dwyer announced the team would be known as the New York Americans. Their original jerseys were covered with stars and stripes, patterned after the American flag . Although he acquired

In international competition, shootouts (or more formally, game-winning shots (GWS) , and, in some European countries, bullets, or bullits ), are often used. Each coach selects three skaters from their team to take penalty shots one at a time against the opposing goaltender , with teams alternating shots. Each team gets one shot per round. The winner
