| 1905 Ottawa
Silver Seven, Stanley Cup Champions, team
postcard |

Ottawa
retained the Cup twice in 1905. First, it thrashed a team that
traveled for three weeks from the Yukon by dogsled, boat and
train. McGee scored 14 goals, including four in two minutes 20
seconds, in a 23-2 win that closed out the two-game series
against the weary visitors. Second, it rebounded from a 9-3 loss
to win a best-of-three series in Dey's Arena against visiting Rat
Portage when McGee was reinserted into the lineup with his broken
right wrist in a cast. He scored with 90 seconds left to give the
Silver Seven a 5-4 win in the clincher. After the Ottawa Silver
Seven won the Stanley Cup, one celebrant boasted he could kick it
across the frozen-at-the-time Rideau Canal (which links Ottawa on
the Ottawa River with Kingston on Lake Ontario). In a day when
the Cup was a football-sized bowl and when most hockey players
also played rugby, he proceeded to drop kick it into the frozen
canal. (Some sources list it as being submerged, however read
on.) The partyers proceeded to party elsewhere, leaving the Cup
behind. The next morning, the players realized that the Cup was
still at the Canal, so they headed to recover the Cup and
fortunately found it right where they left it On Colden Pond

Victorias, Maritime Champions of Canada, team postcard |
 |
| The Victorias
first came to prominence in 1896 when they won the city
championship. In the following years the team played in a variety
of city and regional leagues, enjoying considerable success. In
1906-07, they won the Maritime senior championship, a feat which
they repeated in 1908 and 1909. From 1906 to 1912 the Moncton
Victorias ruled. In those years they won 5 Maritime titles and 2
New Brunswick Championships. In 1905/06 the Vic's played in a
league with Fredericton, Marysville, St. Stephens and SJ winning
the league championship and having only one goal scored against
them during the regular season.The joined the newly-formed
Inter-provincial Professional Hockey League in 1910, and won the
Maritime title that season and again in 1912. Having proven
themselves the best in the Maritimes, the Victorias challenged
for the Stanley Cup which was then awarded on a challenge basis,
becoming the only Maritime team every to play for the coveted
silverware. While they were easily defeated by the Quebec
Bulldogs in a two-game series, it was an accomplishment
nonetheless, for the team, the city, and the
province. |

Dominion Amateur Hockey Champions, Winners of the Allan
Cup |
 |
The Allan Cup
is the trophy awarded to the national senior (21 and over)
amateur men's hockey champions of Canada. The trophy was donated
in 1908 by Sir H. Montague Allan to replace the Stanley Cup,
whose tournament had become a professional competition, as a
trophy for amateur teams. The trophy was originally presented to
the Victoria Hockey Club of Montreal to present to the champion
of their league, who then could be challenged by champions of
other leagues. The first winners of the Cup were the Ottawa
Cliffsides, and the first challengers (who were successful) were
the Queen’s University club of Kingston, Ontario. In the
early years of the Cup its trustees quickly came to appreciate
the difficulties of organizing a national competition in so large
a country. In 1914, at the suggestion of one of the trustees,
Claude Robinson, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA)
was formed as a national governing body for the sport. One of the
CAHA's first decisions, in 1915, was to replace the challenge
system with a series of national playoffs. In 1928 the trustees
turned over responsibility for the Cup to the CAHA. The Allan Cup
Champions also represented Canada at the World Championships
until 1964.
