As part of Heritage Week in Ontario, the Town of Renfrew proudly recognizes the NHA/NHL Birthplace Museum for preserving and interpreting one of the community’s most distinctive heritage stories.

The museum commemorates Renfrew’s connection to the founding of the National Hockey Association (NHA), the league that would later evolve into today’s NHL. Through exhibits, artifacts, and storytelling, the museum highlights Renfrew’s place in Canada’s hockey history and its national significance.

Did you know?

The NHA/NHL Birthplace Museum helped organize an event to bring both the Stanley Cup and O’Brien Cup (NHA) to Renfrew at the same time. This was the first time the two trophies were ever displayed together!

The NHA/NHL Birthplace Museum’s work ensures that this remarkable chapter of Renfrew’s past continues to be shared with new generations.
