December 30th...

1912 - Sweden officially joined the International Ice Hockey Federation.

1934 - Boston's Tiny Thompson and Rangers' Dave Kerr dueled to a 0-0 scoreless tie, in New York. It was the first of a Bruins' 37 game consecutive overtime undefeated streak (10-0-27) over the next four years, the longest such streak in NHL history.

1980 - Toronto's Darryl Sittler became the second player in franchise history to score 350 goals as a member of the Maple Leafs. The milestone came in a 5-3 loss at St. Louis.

1992 - Washington defenseman Al Iafrate became the first player in NHL history to have his shot officially break the 100 miles-per-hour barrier, when he had one clocked at 101.4 MPH during the Caps' NHL Superskills Competition at the Capital Centre.
