		They chose to be an amateur league mainly because the NHL had claimed territorial rights to Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland (Lester Patrick had operated in those cities when he ran the PCHA league, and the NHL considered that territory as belonging to Patrick).
		The PCHL actually grew out of the Southern California Hockey League (which operated from 1942-43 to 1943-44 and included teams in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Pasadena, and San Diego) and the Northwest International Hockey League, which operated in 1943-44 in Vancouver (Washington), Seattle, and Portland.
		The league's first season was a success, and the level of play was much improved from that of the 1944-45 season, even though the players were paid roughly the same as when they were amateurs.
