Finally, in 1910, there were two major leagues operating in competition with each other. The Canadian Hockey Association listed Ottawa, Quebec, and three Montreal teams—the Shamrocks, the Nationals and the All-Montreal. The National Hockey Association had teams in Cobalt, Haileybury, and Renfrew and two in Montreal—the Wanderers and the Canadiens.
Aware that the war would ruin them, the two leagues came to an understanding and merged into the single National Hockey Association, a seven-team league composed of Renfrew, Cobalt, Hailerbury, Ottawa, and three Montreal teams—the Shamrocks, the Wanderers and the Canadiens.
By 1917, the NHA had evolved into a six-team circuit composed of the Montreal Wanderers, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec, and the Nothern Fusiliers—an Army team representing the 228th Battalion of the Canadian Army.

This followed a series of internal disputes within the National Hockey Association (NHA), which had controlled Canadian field hockey since 1909. The league's founding teams were the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Arenas (later known as the Toronto Maple Leafs).
