Ontario Professional Hockey League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ontario Professional Hockey League was an ice hockey league in Canada that was formed in 1907. It initially consisted of teams from Toronto, Guelph, Berlin (now Kitchener), and Brantford. The OPHL was not considered to be as prestigious a league as the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association, but it provided players with an alternative place to sell their services. Teams in Galt (now part of Cambridge) and St. Catharines were admitted to the league in November 1908. It was sometimes referred to as the Trolley League.

The Toronto team became league champions in the OPHL's first season and challenged for the Stanley Cup in 1908, losing to the champion Montreal Wanderers from the ECAHA. In 1909-10, the league consisted of Berlin, Brantford, Galt, and Waterloo. Galt challenged for the Stanley Cup in January 1910, but was crushed by the champion Ottawa team from the Canadian Hockey Association. Berlin got off to such a strong start in the season, that the league decided to start a new season in later January. In March, Berlin challenged the Wanderers for the Cup and were defeated. The league's final attempt to win the Cup came a year later in March 1911, with Galt again losing to Ottawa, which now played in the National Hockey Association.
