In an alternate world, the NHL was never founded, replaced with another league that was only interested with Canadian teams and cities. Titans will rise. Titans will fall. Legends will be written in the annals of hockey history. We will see legendary players take the spotlight, and teams rise and fall. Please welcome to the Hockey family, the Canadian Premiere Hockey League.

Almost as a birthday gift to Canada, five major business men came together with the intention of creating a hockey league to bring the fledgling sport to a new level: PROFESSIONAL. On July 15th, 1935, they made the public announcement of the formation of the Canadian Premiere Hockey League. The five men had already secured six teams: the well-established Toronto Millionaires (owned by the city of Toronto), the Ottawa Cavalry (owned by millionaire entrepreneur and league founder, Doug Westfielde, and lawyer and founder, Yvon Courtuer), the Calgary Mounties (owned by Winnipeg’s Samuel Knightself), the Hamilton Tigers (owned by Andrew Lucasson), the Edmonton Wheat Kings (owned by millionaire Josef Gustavsson of Russia), and the Montreal Settlers, who, surprisingly, was being purchased by the community and then run by the city council. The league founders also announced that they have no intention of expansion into the United States. “Let them have their leagues and teams. Canada will play itself, for itself, and of itself.”



C+C welcome as always. The first teams, Toronto and Hamilton will be up tomorrow!
