League business

The annual meeting of the Amateur Hockey Association was held in the rooms of the MAAA in Montreal, on November 22, 1889. The main business was whether to accept Quebec or not, and whether to change the Crystals team name to the Dominions. Representatives from most of the hockey clubs were present. The election for the ensuing year resulted as follows:[1]

  • President, Mr. J. Stewart (Montreal);
  • first vice-president, H. Kinghorn (McGill);
  • second vice-president, W.G Cameron (Victorias);
  • secretary-treasurer, J.A Findlay (Montreal);
  • Council — A.E McNaughton (Montreal), W.E Stevenson (Victoria), J. McDonald (Crystals), D.B. Holden (McGill), R. Davidson (Quebec).

Regular season

The season consisted of challenge games as well as numerous exhibition matches between all the teams in the AHAC. Quebec would challenge this season. The Montreal Crystals would be known as the Dominion Hockey Club of Montreal for this season.
