1904 CAHL season

1904 CAHL season

The 1904 Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL) season lasted from January 2 until February 24. Teams played an eight game schedule. This was a tumultuous year as Ottawa resigned in February and defaulted four games.

Also, prior to the start of the season a rival hockey league, the Federal Amateur Hockey League was started, with the Montreal Wanderers taking most of the 'Little Men of Iron' from the Montreal Hockey Club.

Executive

* Harry Trihey, Shamrocks (President)
* F. Stocking, Quebec (1st Vice-President)
* J. P. Dickson ( 2nd Vice-President)
* Fred McRobie, Montreal (Secretary-Treasurer)

As the Wanderers had signed players from Montreal, it was forbidden for teams to play games against FAHL teams, and for team officials to participate in FAHL activities.

Highlights

This season saw several impressive rookies including Frank Patrick for Montreal Victorias, Ernie (Moose) Johnson for Montreal and Alf Smith and Jim McGee for Ottawa.

The season started out with Ottawa winning their first four games. However, in their third game against the Victorias, the Ottawa team arrived 1 1/2 hours late. The game was called at midnight, with Ottawa ahead 4–1. After a game where the Shamrocks arrived late in Ottawa, the League levied fines against the Shamrocks and Ottawa, and ordered the Ottawa-Victorias game to be replayed. Despite a threat from Mr. Dickson of Ottawa that Ottawa would resign if the game was to be replayed, the League continued to demand that the game be played. The Ottawa club offered to play it if it had a bearing on the league championship, but this was not acceptable to the league. In the end, Ottawa resigned from the league and the league considered the final four games to be forfeits.

This overshadowed a great season from Quebec, which won the season with a record of 7–1 (2 wins by forfeit) and tried to claim that the Cup belonged to the CAHL season winner. The Cup trustees decided that the Cup went with Ottawa.

Wanderers vs. Ottawa

Ottawa was committed to play a two-game series with the Federal Amateur Hockey League champion Montreal Wanderers, and played the first game in Montreal to a tie of 5–5. Montreal refused to play overtime, and refused to play a second two-game series, ordered by the trustees to be held in Ottawa.

Brandon vs. Ottawa

To finish the season, Ottawa played a series with Brandon Wheat Cities, champions of the Manitoba & Northwestern Hockey Association. Ottawa would win the two-game series 6–3, 9–3 (15–6), held in Ottawa on March 9–11.
