Early Professional Hockey Professional hockey began around the turn of the Twentieth Century. For a time, players were secretly paid under the table, but soon hockey embraced full professionalism. The early years of hockey were marked by clubs being formed and then folding, and of players jumping from team to team in search of better pay. For a short time in 1909 two rival leagues, both centred on Montreal, competed for talent and spectators. In the end only the National Hockey Association would survive. With less demand for players, salaries started to fall and the association reduced the number of players to six from seven in order to save on salaries.

Why did you leave that success (Stanley Cup with Ottawa 1909) to go to Renfrew the next season? A. Money, pure and simple. The Renfrew Creamery Kings gave me a salary of five thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars for a two-month, twelve-game season. The O’Brien family had made big money in mining and they wanted a team that could win the Stanley Cup/ You must remember how much money five thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars was in 1908. My father was a salesman for a farm implement company and, if I remember right, he made ninety dollars a month as his top salary… Q. Didn’t the players have things their way then with the strong bidding for talent? A. It was a great time for hockey players because the leagues were not very well structured, and we could jump all over the place, going where the money was the best. It wasn’t like in the 1920s on when a team could tie up your professional rights for life. We knew we were lucky. In the 1909-1910 season, there were twenty-five pro teams right across Canada, all bidding for players. It was a little like the mid-1970s with the NHL and WHA having twenty-eight teams and not enough good players. Back then, the players knew it wouldn’t last. The costs of a competitive team were much more than the income produced by the small arenas. The players tried to get all they could before the owners go sick of losing money. For instance, one year there were five pro teams in Montreal and they all lost money.

In the Montreal Star, Marty Walsh, Ottawa’s crack centre, has some things to say about professional hockey which would make it appear that not all is gold that glitters. “Over $200 a week for hockey, that seems easy money,” remarked the crack little centre, “but I can tell you when a man draws that amount he pretty nearly earns every cent of it. Take myself for instance. I have only played ‘pro’ hockey for a comparatively short time, yet I have taken some bumps that is taking lots of money to equalize. My first year out I was handed a broken ankle in the Soo which laid me on my back for about six weeks. Then in New York last year I came out of a game with a face that looked like the results of an encounter with wildcats. I’ve had all my front teeth knocked out, and it costs money to get new ones, and at that they aren’t as good as the old ones….While it’s coming through, I want to get as much as I can , at the same time looking after my future interests when my hockey days are over.” Newsey Lalonde “The money was good and I was able to make some extra cash playing professional lacrosse. I played in Vancouver and got $6,000 for 12 games. That was in 1912. It came out to eight dollars a minute! “Hockey was a tougher game – much tougher. You’d think it was the other way around because of the swinging sticks in lacrosse, but nobody ever got hurt. In hockey it was different. One night “bad” Joe Hall nearly crushed my windpipe and I came back and almost broke his collarbone. “But I’ll tell you, son, if I had the chance, I’d sure like to play this new kind of game and get the money they’re getting today. I was a professional, you know.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:E_Lalonde.jpg Source: Fischler, Stan & Shirley. Heroes and History. Whitby, Ontario: McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1994, p. 14. L.N. Bate, Former Vice-President Ottawa Hockey Club Source: Ottawa Journal, December 13, 1909 Has professionalism benefited hockey? To that question I must make an emphatic reply in the affirmative. Since the game has become openly professional the conditions have improved both from the standpoint of the play and of the management. The professional has also improved the game from a spectators point of view. The management is now able to get the players who will fit the style of play decided upon by those in charge…The result is that the game has become more dashing and brilliant and is more appreciated by the spectators, as evidenced by the increased attendance... Now the club is conducted on strictly business principles. The player knows what he is to get (salary) and he knows, also, that he has to obey the training rules as laid down by the management. Any breach of discipline or any untoward departure of training rules is easily punished by a fine and the player, knowing this, guides his actions accordingly. Oh yes, give me the professional game. It is better on all counts, for the spectator, for the player and for the management. St. James Street St. James Street (present day Rue St. Jacques) in Montreal was the financial centre of Canada.

However they played only one season in the NHA and in 1911 were taken over by the Quebec Bulldogs. The NHA lasted from 1909-1917. On November 26, 1917 the NHA decided to suspend operations and the National Hockey League (NHL) was created.

The NHL evolved over four different time periods. The "Founding Era from 1917-1942" was the early period when the league was first establishing itself. During this time period there was competition for fans and players from the Pacific Coast Hockey League and the Western Canada Hockey League. During this time period the other problems arose. The two World Wars hampered the leagues development, and the Spanish Influenza Pandemic actually canceled the 1919 Stanley Cup Championship.

The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and apprecia- tion of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Ice hockey is a physically demanding sport that often seems brutal and violent from the spectator’s point of view. In fact, ice hockey is often referred to as a combination of blood, sweat and beauty. The game demands athletes who are in top physical condition and can maintain nonstop motion at high speed. HISTORY OF THE GAME Ice hockey originated in Canada in the 19th cen- tury. The first formal game was played in Kingston, Ontario in 1855. McGill University started playing ice hockey in the 1870s. W. L. Robertson, a student at McGill, wrote the first set of rules for ice hockey. Canada’s Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston, offered a tro- phy to the winner of the 1893 ice hockey games. This was the origin of the now-famed Stanley Cup. Ice hockey was first played in the U. S. in 1893 at Johns Hopkins and Yale universities, respec- tively. The Boston Bruins was America’s first NHL hockey team. Ice hockey achieved Olym- pic Games status in 1922. Physical Education Learning Packets #23 Ice Hockey Text © 2006 The Advantage Press, Inc.

  • The 1919 Stanley Cup Finals
    The 1919 Stanley Cup Finals Seattle hockey fans were looking forward to the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals. The hometown Metropolitans were coming off of a solid second place finish and a playoff series win over Vancouver, earning the right to host the Montreal Canadiens in a rematch of the 1917 finals. As the fans filed into the Arena on March 19 expectations were high for a good, competitive series. Little did anyone know what an incredible physical toll the series would take on the players over the upcoming 12 days, culminating with the unfortunate death of Joe Hall of the Canadiens. The series started innocently enough as the Mets took advantage of a tired Montreal squad that had just arrived in town, winning the opener by a score of 7-0. Muzz Murray of the Mets was injured by a slash and had to leave the game, the first of a number of injuries that plagued both clubs. He was forced to miss the second game as well, and with Bobby Rowe also hurt the Mets had to play the entire second game with only seven players. Montreal took advantage of the situation and evened the series with a 4-2 win. In the third game it was Montreal that suffered physically, losing defenseman Bert Corbeau with a badly injured shoulder. A 7-2 win gave Seattle a two games to one advantage in the best-of-five series, and the fans were hoping the local club would clinch the Cup in the next meeting. The fourth game of the series has gone down in history as one of the all-time classic Stanley Cup match-ups.

  • The Psychological and Physiological Effects of the Stanley Cup Playoffs a Review of the Literature Joe Robinson
    The Psychological and Physiological Effects of the Stanley Cup Playoffs A Review of the Literature Joe Robinson Abstract This review examines the influence of the Stanley Cup playoffs on both the players and fans of the National Hockey League. Canada’s most beloved pastime is beginning to gain widespread popularity in the United States. As a result, there has been extensive research into the sport’s psychological and physiological effects in the past few years. A recent sociological study determined that suicide rates in the Canadian province of Quebec can be influenced by the playoffs and its relationship to other factors, such as sex, age, and marital status. Other studies have analyzed the reasons for the 2011 Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver. Expert opinions on this subject vary significantly. Psychology professor Ervin Staub believes the riots were the result of a decrease in testosterone levels of dejected male fans, who used “destructive means to regain their sense of effectiveness” (Alexander). Whereas author Bill Buford explained that the fans simply found it exciting to riot. Journalists have taken a different approach to examining the effects of the NHL playoffs, opting to report on player superstitions, such as playoff beards and jinxes associated with the Stanley Cup. Even fans have contributed to the research effort by providing a unique perspective on the psychological phenomenon known as the bandwagon effect. Medical professionals have researched the physical effects of the playoffs. A 2006 study by speech pathologist William Hodgetts concluded that fans who attend a single, three hour playoff game can potentially suffer serious hearing damage.
