For the entire decade of the 1930s, the Rivulettes were the winners of the Bobby Rosenfeld Trophy. The trophy was given to the Ontario champions. In addition, the Rivulettes were six time winners of the Eastern Canadian championship and the Elmer Doust Cup (the honour for winning the Eastern Canadian championship). The team also won the Lady Bessborough Trophy (given to Canadian Champions) six times. The Rivulettes were invited to play games in 1939 in Europe, but were unable to due to the start of World War II. In 1963, the club was inducted into the Canadian Hockey Hall of Fame."

However, there were far more francophone supporters for the Canadiens than anglophone supporters for the Maroons.[25] As a result, the Maroons finished with the worst attendance in the league, three seasons in a row. Also, by 1935, both teams were owned by Canadian Arena Company. (Ernest Savard and Maurice Forget, who owned the Canadiens, were part of the Canadian Arena Company, as were Maroons owners James Strachan and Donat Raymond). It became obvious that only one team could represent Montreal. The Maroons' dire financial straits caused them to sell off several players, including star winger Hooley Smith.[25] Despite the Maroons' financial troubles, they continued to play competitive Images source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/5817947103/ File name: 08_06_011948 Title: Stars - Montreal Maroon hockey well into the 1930s” Creator/Contributor: Jones, Leslie, 1886-1967 (photographer) Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Maroons Copyright © Leslie Jones.

Through these years Anglo hockey fans in Montreal either found themselves weaning onto the Habs or found themselves becoming Toronto Maple Leaf fans. Meanwhile the Montreal Forum, which was built specifically for the Maroons, would become the most famous venue in hockey as the Canadiens set a record with 24 Stanley Cup Championships with hockey heroes that will become legends throughout Canada, as the Maroons would be forgotten."

Source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NYR1932_33.jpg Source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frank_Calder.jpg “On May 10, 1932, as they faced the Great Depression head on, NHL owners were willing to do anything to keep costs down. It was a far cry from today’s world of collective bargaining, so six months before the 1932-33 season began, owners unilaterally determined that there would be a $70,000 salary cap for the upcoming season. The maximum salary for any single player would be $7,500. In addition, the league allowed only one of two temporarily suspended franchises, the Ottawa Senators, to return for 1932-33. It also cut the maximum number of skaters in uniform from 14 to 13 per game, and arranged working agreements with the AHL and WPHL to prevent those leagues from threatening to poach its players for higher salaries. These moves were meant to cut potential losses in a miserable economy, but many of the top players didn’t appreciate them. One outspoken critic of the new policy was Rangers star Frank Boucher, who had held out for more money the year before and was prepared to do it again. By the time training camp opened in Lake Placid, Boucher and teammate Earl Seibert were AWOL. Boucher wanted the maximum salary, and Seibert wanted a substantial raise that was not possible under the new cap. On Oct. 31, with 10 prominent NHL players still holding out and the season less than two weeks away, the league declared it would block any players who refused to report to their teams from playing in any professional league. The following day, Boucher said the Rangers had given him permission to personally work out a deal in which he could be traded to another team, and that he would try to end up in his hometown of Ottawa. Rangers President Col. John S. Hammond denied that Boucher had complete free rein, and a war of words erupted in the newspapers until a one-year deal was agreed to on Nov. 7. Boucher reported to training camp, which was wrapping up in Springfield, Mass., and immediately caught the flu. He would miss the first two games of the season with his illness.
