Ice hockey season March 2026 1900 CAHL season Canadian Amateur Hockey League Ice hockey January 6 – March 10, 1900 5 1900 Montreal Shamrocks Champions Harry Trihey (17 goals) Canadian Amateur Hockey League CAHL 1899 CAHL season 1899 1901 CAHL season 1901 The 1900 Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL) season was the second season of the league. Teams played an eight-game schedule. Again, the Montreal Shamrocks were the league champion with a record of seven wins and one loss. League business Executive F. R. Baird (President) John Patrick Dickson (1st vice-president) H. E. Scott (2nd vice-president) George R. James (secretary-treasurer) Harry McLaughlin (councillor) McGill University applied to join the league but was turned down. The use of netting for the goal was demonstrated with a model produced by Frank Stocking, goaltender of the Quebec club at the annual meeting. After an exhibition game between the Shamrocks and Victorias, the use of goal nets was approved for league play, and used for the season. The netting connected the two upright posts, but there was no crossbar across the top. The use of hockey gloves was quite common and shin guards were now mostly in use inside the stockings though some players still used the old style outside the stockings. Season Star rover Graham Drinkwater retired from the Victorias before the season. Highlights The Shamrocks won the championship losing only one game, and that, after the league championship was decided. This was the second year in a row for the Shamrocks, who were a mediocre team before this stretch of success and would return to it the next year.
