The second season kicks off with great enthusiasm. All the team did well at the gate in the first season.

However there is concern. Three of the member cities: Ottawa, Hamilton and Quebec City are tiny with less than 100,000 people in the 1911 census. Seattle and Vancouver in the PCHA are much larger. Amateur hockey is starting to grow in the US, particularly Boston, New York, Pittsburgh (who once had their own pro league) Cleveland and St. Paul. To compete for the best players the NHL may have to grow.

At the end of the 1918-1919 season the Montreal Canadiens finished on top of the standings. Frank Martinez of Hamilton became the NHL's first 25 goal and first 50 point scorer. The Canadiens however are last in the NHL in attendance playing in the smallest arena: the Jubilee Arena seating 3200. The Wanderers by contrast play in the 10,000 seater Montreal Arena.

Quebec however went on to win it's first Stanley Cup.
