1911–12 Ottawa Hockey Club season

Prior to the season, on November 2, Bruce Ridpath was seriously injured with a fractured skull after being hit by an automobile on Yonge Street in Toronto.

Ottawa threatened to ice a seven-man team for a game against Quebec, but did not follow through on their threat.

Ottawa would offer to trade Skene Ronan (who would go on to win the scoring championship) for Taylor but was turned down.

This was Mr. Taylor's final game in the NHA, as he would join Vancouver the next year.

[3] On March 2, Quebec defeated Ottawa 6–5 in a game decided after 23 minutes of overtime.
