In 1920-1921 the NHL had only four teams:

Toronto St. Patricks
Montreal Canadiens
Hamilton Tigers
Ottawa Senators

and the Senators won the Stanley Cup, playing Toronto in a two game "total goals" playoff series.

The Toronto St. Patricks became the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Today in Maple Leafs History:

March 17, 1934 - A St. Patrick's Day crowd of 11,000 turns out for 'King Clancy Night.' Clancy is pushed to centre ice while seated in a sleigh shaped like a throne. The Irishman unveils his robe to show a green uniform with a large shamrock on the back and he proceeds to wear the uniform for the game. Lester Patrick, coach of the Rangers, complains that his uniform is a distraction and Clancy changes into his regular Maple Leafs uniform.
