Ontario Professional Hockey League (OPHL)
History 1908-1911 (4 seasons)
In early November 1907, the International League had folded, reducing the number of opponents for Toronto, who could not play any amateur teams in Ontario. At the annual meeting of the Toronto team, the first discussions were held about the formation of The Ontario Professional Hockey League (OPHL), sometimes referred to as the Trolley League, and also known as the Canadian Hockey League in its time.
The league disbanded after the 1911 season. The OPHL teams were raided for players by the NHA after the NHA was itself raided for players by the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA).
I sincerely appreciate the research work, and the information being shared. It is important and interesting history.
