In 1917, in the year that Eileen M Bingham was born, the NHL (National Hockey League) was established as a response to the demise of the National Hockey Association (NHA). The first superstar of the League was "Phantom" Joe Malone of the Montreal Canadiens, a leading scorer with records that still stand. The Canadiens won the NHL championship over the Senators.
In 1936, at the age of 19 years old, Eileen was alive when on November 3rd, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was reelected to a second term.
