Grindin' In The Corner with Moose

This was the uniform of the Philadelphia Quakers, a team that played in the NHL for only one full season and set a record for futility that lasted for over 45 years. They are still regarded as one of the worst single season clubs in NHL history.

Originally, the Quakers were known as the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates started out well in 1925, making the playoffs for two of their first three seasons, but by 1929 the Great Depression put the Pirates in a dire financial situation. The money was gone, the arena was horrid, and the morale was shot. With league permission, the team was moved to Philadelphia for the '29-'30 season and renamed the Philadelphia Quakers.

The Quakers played at the Philadelphia Arena. "The Arena", as it was dubbed, was located in West Philly, at 46th and Market. The Quakers played their one season in the venue to the tune of 4 wins, 4 ties, and 36 losses. Their win percentage of .136 was the lowest in the history of the league until 45 years later when the mark was eclipsed by the Washington Capitals.

If you're into trivia, check this out. The Quakers were folded at the same time another current NHL city saw their hopes dashed. The original incarnation of the Ottawa Senators were sent packing as well. Philly and Pittsburgh both took a much more successful second chance in 1967, as the NHL used the cities to expand the league to double it's size.
