Regular Season
The season saw the return of the National Hockey League All-Star Game, an idea that, although proposed in the previous season, came into fruition this year. The all-star game, however, saw a career-ending ankle injury to Chicago Blackhawks forward Bill Mosienko. Other stars would retire, ending both the Montreal Canadiens' Punch Line and the Boston Bruins' Kraut Line. However, this season saw the creation of the Detroit Red Wings' Production Line. The policy of having players raise their hockey sticks to signify that a goal was scored was also initiated in this season, with Habs forward Billy Reay being the first to do on November 13, 1947. The season also saw Boston's Don Gallinger and the New York Rangers' Billy Taylor being suspended for life for gambling.
