Built on gold mining and hockey, Kirkland Lake is a small town in Northeastern Ontario's Timiskaming District with an outsized place in Canadian sports history — broadcaster Foster Hewitt called it "the town that made the NHL." The town's name traces to Winnifred Kirkland, a secretary of the Ontario Department of Mines, after whom a nearby lake was named in 1907, though she never visited. A Heritage North museum preserves the town's mining and hockey legacy.
