  2. Hockey 1900-1909 • Teams were NewYork–based, (BUT the talent came from Canada) • Minnesota, a hotbed of hockey, formed the Twin City League in 1902–1903 (teams from the Minneapolis and St. Paul area) • Amateur leagues existed for short periods in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Baltimore as well • Outside of city or regionally based teams, colleges took up the sport and developed rivalries that grew in the 1900s

  3. Hockey 1900-1909 • Winter of 1900, the 5 team IntercollegiateHockeyLeague(Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Brown, and Harvard) • Harvard supplanted Yale as the dominant team • Harvard wins 4 straight Harvard league titles(until Princeton broke the streak in the 1906–7 season) • Princeton finished off the decade with its 2nd championship in the 1909–10 season • HobeyBaker, who entered Princeton in 1910, would be the impetus for their success into the next decade

  4. Hockey 1900-1909 • HobartBaker, from Wissahickon, Pennsylvania • Baker of Wissahickon (PA) began career in 1906 • Went to the prestigious St. Paul'sSchool in New Hampshire. • Baker's amazing stick work led to the only defeat that Princeton's Tigers would face that season • The skills he developed, both at St. Paul's and during practice at Princeton, would set the stage for his emergence in the 1910s as one of the greatesthockeyplayersofalltime.

  5. Hockey 1900-1909 • Dartmouth College entered competition in the 1905–1906 season • Dartmouth (1908–1909) had a remarkable year finishing 2nd in the intercollegiate league to Harvard(They also went the entire season without registering a single penalty) • Hockey, like football, had begun to struggle with images of brutality and violence • In 1907 the sport's 1st official fatality occurred. Players began to suffer injuries such as broken limbs, having their faces sliced open by skate blades, and their heads opened up by violent stickplay

  6. Hockey 1900-1909 • The media, already alerted to the violence in college football, focused on the violent acts and began to question if hockey would become just another example of unregulated brutality in sport • Dartmouth's penalty-freeseason and relative success on the ice provided hope that hockey need not be relegated to a game of senselessviolence

  7. Hockey 1900-1909 • Professional hockey’s US debut was in 1903 starring the PortageLakers • On that first team, 4 out of the 8 players were doctors • “Doc” Gibson was the leading scorer for the Lakers. Their 1902–3 team picture, which included “Paddy” the mascot dog, referred to the team as the champions of the United States. • Season Record 13-0-1 • Scored 132 goals • Gave up only 26 goals • In the playoffs, they tied the Pittsburgh Bankers 0-0 in the 1stgame before finally defeating them inthe 2ndcontest 1-0 to win the U.S.Championship

  9. Hockey 1900-1909 • Over 5,000 fans watched as Portage defeated Montreal by scores of 8-4 and 9-2 to claim the title of worldchampions • An integral part of the Lakers' success was the acquisition of JoeLinder

  10. Hockey 1900-1909 • A local high school star in not only hockey, but also in football and basketball, Linder became the key playmaker for Portage • Linder, the 1st great American-born hockey player, was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975 joining his teammate “Doc” Gibson, a charter member of the Hall in 1973

  11. Hockey 1900-1909 • In 1904–1905, Portage joined 3 other clubs to form the InternationalHockeyLeague (IHL) • The IHL attracted many of the best Canadian players • IHL teams primarily came from the Upper Peninsula region of Michigan but also included a team from Sault St. Marie (Canada)(allowing the founders to legitimately claim international status) • In 1905–1906, a Pittsburgh franchise from the former Western Pennsylvania Hockey League joined the IHL • Houghton-Portage Lakes played in the Amphidrome on Portage Lake

  12. Hockey 1900-1909 • Calumet's home ice was in the Palestra • Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (aka AmericanSoo) competed at their local curling rink named the Ridge Street Ice-A-Torium • Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario's (CanadianSoo) home ice was at the local curling rink • Pittsburgh found a home in the Duquesne Gardens • Unfortunately, Portage would be the only IHL team to win the championship • The league operated for only 3 seasons and folded when competition from professional leagues in Canada lured away the top Canadianplayers

  13. Hockey 1900-1909 • As a professional league, the IHL could not compete for the StanleyCup • Portage, however, issued challenges after both the 1905 and 1906 seasons to the Stanley Cup Board of Directors in an effort to be able to play the OttawaSilverSeven in a championship series (Both times they were turned down) • Professional teams were not allowed to compete for the Cup until after the formation of Canadian professional leagues in 1908 • As a result of the StanleyCup being given in 1908 to professionalteams, a new cup for amateurclubs was established that same year by SirH.MontagueAllan to replace the StanleyCup

  14. Hockey 1900-1909 • Hockey at the amateur, semiprofessional, and professional levels struggled in the 1900s • Leagues started, had limited success, and then folded with regularity • None could sustain continued growth to catapult the sport into the national consciousness into the next decade

  15. Hockey 1900-1909 • The collegiate game had a little more stability • Regardless of the organizational struggles, hockey developed some incredible players during this period who would go on to earn Hall of Fame recognition and become idols of the game
