June 15 Hockey History Highlights

June 15th in NHL history is packed with drama, championships, and draft legends—Boston Bruins clinched their first Cup since 1972 in 2011, tied a series with an OT win in 2013, while Chicago Blackhawks captured their third Cup in six years in 2015, their first home title since 1938. The draft delivered future stars like Bobby Smith, Joel Quenneville, Wendel Clark, and Joe Nieuwendyk. Behind the scenes, Al MacNeil traded in 1966, Glen Sather took over GM duties for the Oilers in 1980, and the Mighty Ducks joined the league in 1993. And in 2024, Mattias Janmark scored the fastest shorthanded goal in a Cup Final in over 40 years—history’s most thrilling June 15th yet.
