1898–99 WPHL season
Sports season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1898â99 WPHL season was the second season of operation for the Western Pennsylvania Hockey League. Four Pittsburgh-area teams competed in the season, in which all games were played at the Duquesne Garden. The league reconstituted in the newly finished hockey rink at the Duquesne Garden, after the Schenley Park Casino was destroyed in an 1896 fire that cut short the previous WPHL season. The so-called "Pittsburgh" or "All-Pittsburgh" team of the first season was not reformed and only three teams played in the league.
