The 1910–11 NHA season was the second season of the now defunct National Hockey Association. The Ottawa Hockey Club won the league championship. Ottawa took over the Stanley Cup from the Montreal Wanderers and defended it against teams from Galt, Ontario and Port Arthur, Ontario . ==League business== The annual meeting was held November 12, 1910 electing the following executive: * Emmett Quinn (president and secretary) Directors: * Eddie McCafferty, Wanderers * John Ambrose O'Brien, Renfrew * W. P. Humphrey, Shamrocks * George Kennedy, Canadiens * Joe Power, Quebec The Shamrocks resigned from the league and were not replaced. The Club Athletique-Canadien and the Quebec Hockey Club were granted franchises. Haileybury and Cobalt left the league. Club-Athletique-Canadien had made a claim on the Canadiens name and threatened a lawsuit if they were not granted a franchise. There are three written descriptions of this transaction. Coleman(1966) writes that George Kennedy, president of the CAC bought the Haileybury franchise. In Andy O'Brien's book, Ambrose O'Brien is quoted as saying that he sold the Canadiens to Kennedy. In Holzman's book, the franchise was given to Kennedy, but Kennedy had to pay O'Brien for the rights to Newsy Lalonde. In ''The Globe'' of March 7, 1911, it is claimed that Lalonde's sale was the first ever sale of a player. The NHA decided to impose a $5,000 per team salary cap.〔 〕 A second meeting, on November 26, 1910 updated the Board of Directors to: * D'Arcy McGee, Ottawa * James A. Barnett, Renfrew * Adolphe Lecours, Canadiens * Joe Power, Quebec * Eddie McCafferty, Wanderers The salary cap, while opposed by the players was upheld at the meeting.
