1924-1925 Season Review

The Habs finished first overall with Ottawa second.

The Habs won their 4th straight Cup.

Different Senators led the league in goals, assists and points.

Attendance was strong in all but one market: Quebec. Which leads to our next news.

Jakub Jilik of Quebec wins his 4th Defenceman of the Year; TIm MacCord of Ottawa wins his first Goalie of the year and Cody Frankell of Ottawa wins his first MVP.

We confirmed Quinn was seeking to move the Bulldogs to a rival league to be started by Livingstone. Given this, lack of another buyer and the poor attendance we've cancelled the franchise. 1924-1925 will be their last season.

New York. Bootleg Bill Dwyer has been granted a franchise to be named the Americans. He is however complaining about a lease clause Tex Rickard is trying to insert into the Madison Square Garden lease allowing Tex to operate another NHL team there if he wishes. Should we intervene? We really need to get this new League started to head off Livingstone who is looking here and ...

Pittsburgh. James F. Callahan bought the USAHA franchise but is having trouble negotiating the purchase of the Yellow Jacket name. He may seek baseball's Pirates permission to use their name. Should we step in so the iconic Yellow Jacket name can be retained? Pittsburgh has a strong hockey history and had their own pro league of 4 teams in the 1890's

With pro teams no in 3 key markets the USAHA folds.

The Wanderers are looking to re-brand as the Maroons, due to a shift in ownership. Should we intervene?

Out west the Regina team is transferring to Portland. The Western Pro League continues to falter. If we can drive them under we can collect most of the best players under the NHL banner.

As always input is welcomed
