Year 1890

Introduction

It is a new decade of organized sports leagues in North America. While In the United States we see Baseball have a number of different leagues including the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs (NL) in play, across the border in Canada, we see Ice Hockey making its mark. The first Elite League established outside of Baseball, the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (AHAC) returns for another season of play.
