Chicago Cardinals (ice hockey)

[1] After the NHL caught wind of the franchise, the AHA president asked Livingstone to limit his ownership to only one season.

The game of ice hockey was new to Chicago and a price war broke out between the Cardinals and the Black Hawks.

[6] After the 1926–27 season, the AHA wanted to negotiate a new agreement with the NHL, setting out the rules for how the leagues would work together.

NHL president Frank Calder threatened not to sign an agreement while the AHA was working with Livingstone.

[9] The suit was withdrawn on October 10 after a motion by Livingstone's lawyer, objecting to the lack of evidence he was allowed to present.

[10] In January 1931 filed suit again, against McLaughlin and 17 other defendants for $750,000 alleging a conspiracy to wreck his team.

The team won its first game 3–0 versus the Detroit Greyhounds at the Chicago Coliseum on November 21, 1926, before 3,000 fans.

Most of the players were making their professional debuts, having been selected from the amateur ice hockey ranks in Ontario by Livingstone.
