1911–12 NHA Season
The 1911–12 NHA season was the third season of the National Hockey Association (NHA). Four teams played 18 games each. The Quebec Bulldogs would win the league championship and take over the Stanley Cup. League business Two NHA franchises would be dormant this season. Because the O'Briens had decided to give up hockey, the Renfrew Creamery Kings were disbanded prior to the season, with the players distributed to the other teams by a draw of names. Two new teams based in Toronto intended to operate this season, the 'Torontos' and the 'Tecumsehs', but the new Arena Gardens would not be ready for play this season, so neither team played. This left four teams to play 18 games each. The Wanderers were sold to Sam Lichtenhein.

National Hockey Association
The National Hockey Association (NHA), initially the National Hockey Association of Canada Limited, was a professional ice hockey organization with teams in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. It is the direct predecessor of today's National Hockey League (NHL), and many of the business processes of the NHL today are based on the NHA. Founded in 1909 by Ambrose O'Brien, the NHA introduced six-man hockey by removing the Rover (ice hockey), rover position in 1911. During its lifetime, the league coped with competition for players with the rival Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), the enlistment of players for World War I and disagreements between owners. The disagreements between owners came to a head in 1917, when the NHA suspended operations in order to get rid of an unwanted owner, Eddie Livingstone. The remaining NHA team owners started the NHL in parallel as a temporary measure, to continue play while negotiations went on with Livingstone and other lawsuits were pending. A year l ...

Rover (ice Hockey)
A rover was an ice hockey position that was phased out during the 1910s and 1920s. The rover did not have a set position, and roamed the ice at will. Use of the rover resulted in teams having seven players on the ice at once, as compared to six players under modern rules. History In the late 19th century and early 20th century, ice hockey consisted of seven positions: the goaltender, two defencemen, one rover, and three forwards. Unlike the others, who had set positions, the rover went where needed, much as a midfielder in association football might. As the skill level of players increased, the need to have a rover decreased. Shortly after it was formed in 1910, the National Hockey Association (NHA) decided to exclude the rover. The league's successor, the National Hockey League (NHL), did the same in 1917. However, the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), formed in 1911, kept the rover. The Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) considered, but did not adopt, use of the rov ...
