Encyclopedia

(NHL), the management of the Toronto Arena proposed to operate a Toronto franchise. When the Quebec team was unable to operate, the NHL created a temporary Toronto franchise for the Arena management to operate, ostensibly until an agreement could be made with Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Hockey Club, which had operated in the suspended National Hockey Association
(NHA). The Arena management reached an agreement to lease the Torontos players, most of whom were under NHA contract. While agreement was reached on leasing the players, financial terms were not settled and this would lead to a law suit after the season. The team used the same uniform as the previous season, blue with a white 'T'. The Arena paid players on a cash basis, and many players played without a contract.
