As to [3], the illness, of course, was the "Spanish flu" pandemic.
Seattle didn't have an NHL team until 2021, but the Stanley Cup final
in question happened during a period of about 10 years when the series
was regularly held between the champions of the two major leagues then
existing -- the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and first the NHA,
then the NHL. (See Game 3, Round 6, question 1.) It was after the
PCHA folded that the NHL took exclusive control of the Cup.
