Ottawa Cliffsides

The Ottawa Cliffsides were a senior ice hockey team that played in the Inter-Provincial Amateur Hockey Union from 1908-1911.

They were the first winner of the Allan Cup in 1909 when the cup was given to the winner of the Inter-provincial Hockey League. Alf Smith coached the Ottawa Cliffsides to win the first Allan Cup in March 1909, only to lose it to Queen's University in a challenge.

The Cliffsides played for only three seasons in the Inter-provincial League. They then reappeared in the Ottawa City Senior League in 1919-20 before disappearing for good.
