 | | There are various theories and mysteries concerning hockey's first home, but one indisputable fact is that a recognizable form of the game was played in Montréal in 1875 by university students and members of English, Scottish and Irish sporting clubs. |
 | | Le National was accepted into a new league, the Federal Amateur Hockey League (formed mainly under the leadership of the Montréal Wanderers), and the merger agreement called for le National to organize a team while le Montagnard provided its rink, free of charge, for games and practices. |
 | | At the meeting that saw le National reinstated, the Wanderers themselves were thrown out because their new owner wanted to play all his games at the Jubilee Rink (which he also owned), while the other CHA teams insisted on staying in the west end at the Westmount Arena. |
